Otherwise, why take an English name China (China)?
So wherever you go, you must eat all over the food street.
Speaking of food street, tourist cities all over the country are the same. Some brands are time-honored brands, while others are literary brands. ...
However, people who have actually been there have similar feelings. Many food streets are expensive and not delicious. After all, many food stores in tourist areas do not require repeat customers. After all, there are new tourists every day. ...
It is said that almost every city has a food street/folk street, which serves foreign tourists. All kinds of food and specialties look dazzling, but the prices are much more expensive than outside, but white people flock to them every day. ...
Once upon a time, Xi 'an Huimin Street was the most concentrated snack block in Xi 'an, with a history of thousands of years. It consists of several streets, such as North Guangji Street, North Yard Gate, Western City, Dapi Garden, Huajue Lane and Sajinqiao.
There are many delicious foods here, such as China Hamburg, mutton bread in soup, soup packets, roast chicken, etc. These are famous local snacks.
But now, Huimin Street is also the hardest hit by tourists. 15 ~, a Chinese hamburger sold in 20 yuan is not as delicious as that in 5 yuan outside.
The price of the food street is rising hard, but the taste is not going up. Some netizens even bluntly said that this street is a "black street", specifically for first-time visitors.
Look at some dirty and messy streets, which is quite different from the original sentence "Huimin Street is the soul of Xi" ...
Shanghai Chenghuang Temple enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad, which can be said to be a dim sum kingdom. Nanxiang Songyun Building, Song Yue Building, Lubo Gallery ... There are delicious foods everywhere. However, it has also gradually lost the amorous feelings of old Shanghai in the commercial atmosphere!
Look at this amazing building, but what surprises you even more is the dense tourists. Even waiting in line to buy a Nanxiang steamed bun takes more than half an hour, and it's not delicious.
Although there are many snacks in Chenghuang Temple, the reputation of food has already declined and the price is too expensive. Netizens said that 20 yuan could only buy one steamed stuffed bun skin, and the stuffing inside was not as big as the fingernail.
If you go to Kuanzhai Lane and Jinli to eat Chengdu cuisine, you may be disappointed. Although the reputation here is good, except for teahouses and souvenirs, other consumption is much higher than that outside.
Although there are all kinds of Chengdu snacks here, foreigners will definitely be surprised to taste them, but these are considered by the old Chengdu people as not authentic and expensive, and the locals almost never go there. It's the first time for foreign tourists to visit into the pit.
Ciqikou is a traditional street under special protection in Chongqing. There are many delicious foods and souvenirs here, but whenever you go, there are people here, especially on weekends and holidays.
Handmade yogurt, freshly squeezed coconut milk, big squid with strange colors, and bad snacks here are just a handful. You can't tell which is the real thing! Even if you find a delicious food, it is estimated that you will not have a good mood and appetite.
Guilin West Street is particularly lively, but it is similar to the streets in other places and has no characteristics. It is famous only because there are more foreigners, and it is too commercialized. ...
There are not many kinds of food here, but they are expensive and even leave a messy impression. Some restaurants even cheat customers. You must pay attention to the menu when eating. It's best to take pictures of the menu with your mobile phone in case of mistakes.
There is a popular proverb: "Go to Hubu Lane early and Qing Ji Street at night". Hubu Lane, a century-old lane, is known as "the first lane of China-style breakfast", and its flourishing breakfast stalls have been enduring for decades.
As the witness of Wuhan's history and culture, its existence is not only a snack street, but also the inheritance of local customs.
However, today's Hubu Lane, the environment is getting worse and worse, the food is not delicious, and the snacks used to taste bad and the price is high.
Someone once ridiculed that the price of Hubu Lane is simply a weather vane of rising prices ... Even netizens in Wuhan said that it would not be an expensive and unpalatable place, and locals all know that it is a trick of outsiders ~
There is a Pozi Street in Changsha, and there is a fire palace on the street. The Fire Palace is a temple dedicated to Vulcan. I don't know when it began to evolve into a famous folk snack street.
It has completely become a snack street for foreign tourists. No matter how beautiful it used to be, we can only see it now, but there is no need to look for food here.
Eating Changsha stinky tofu in the fire palace is completely tasteless. It is a formal plate and bowl, and a few small pieces of tofu are very delicate and have some shapes. How can you enjoy eating a few dollars a box in an alley?
No wonder even Changsha people say that the Fire Palace is just a "tourist distribution center" and can only be visited as a scenic spot at most.
The Three Pavilions and Seven Alleys are known as the historical and cultural roots of Fuzhou, and have the reputation of "Living Fossil of China Li Fang System" and "China Ming and Qing Architecture Museum".
To tell the truth, although there are many antique buildings and antique commercial streets here, you can really feast your eyes on them here. ...
However, if you want to have fun in San Fang Qi Xiang, you should give up this idea. There is no characteristic of Fuzhou at all. People who have been there say that they will never go there again. Many nondescript chain stores and expensive fake snacks here have cornered the local real food.
Hefang Street, located in the old city of Hangzhou, is a historical and cultural block in Hangzhou, where the famous "Five Hangs" (Hangfen, Hang Jian, Hangfan, Hangyan and Hangxian) come from. Special snacks, antique calligraphy and painting, and shops gather here. There are more than 100 old brands and Hangzhou specialty shops here.
But now, as long as where street is mentioned, Hangzhou people are not interested in this pedestrian street. There is a simple reason. It has become a must-see for foreign tourists. Excessive commerce has led to many good shops being buried or even neglected.
On the contrary, the same stinky tofu, the same roasted squid and the same kebabs can be seen everywhere ... as bad as other food streets in China.
There has always been a false proposition about Nanjing cuisine. Whenever you are asked about Nanjing cuisine, you will think of Confucius Temple snacks.
If you really go, you will find it really boring during the day, and it's not bad to see Qinhuai River at night. But I sincerely advise you not to eat there. Snacks are all outside, so you can't eat any special food at all.
Seeing the words "century-old brand", it seems that there is no enthusiasm in the past. I don't know whether the taste of old food has changed gradually, or whether the taste of modern people is too picky, or the taste is average, or the management and service are poor. After two times, the enthusiasm ceased.
Old Town of Lijiang is one of the two ancient cities in China that successfully declared the world cultural heritage with the whole ancient city.
There are rich and colorful local ethnic customs and entertainment activities, such as Naxi ancient music, Dongba ceremony, divination culture, ancient town bar and Naxi Torch Festival. There is an endless stream of tourists coming here every day. ...
Because of this, visitors to the ancient city will inevitably taste the so-called "Yunnan cuisine" here: yak kebabs, tofu-wrapped, red potatoes, Lijiang Baba, rice sausage and mushroom soup ... But in fact, most of the vegetables sold in the ancient city are foreigners, just under the name of Yunnan cuisine.
In Old Town of Lijiang, I often hear people say, why is the rice noodle crossing the bridge in Yunnan so bad? God, how can I eat authentic rice noodles crossing the bridge in Old Town of Lijiang? If you want to eat rice noodles crossing the bridge, you can help yourself to eat them in the shooting place of Fanghua. That is the hometown of crossing the bridge rice noodles.
As the earliest food street in Qingdao, Pichai Yuan is a must-see for almost every visitor who has just arrived in Qingdao. Because it is very famous, if you don't go shopping, there seems to be something missing. Because of its great fame, it has also become a "deceptive street" criticized by netizens. ...
Pichai Yuan, three steps to the end, the food inside is rare and unpalatable, especially, it stinks! Bean! Rot! Netizens ridicule the stinky tofu here, which is simply a sign of "deceptive street".
Although it is a must for tourists to punch in, "high price and poor taste" have repeatedly disappointed tourists, not to mention what is authentic. Most vendors also come from other places.
Nanluoguxiang, the oldest old street in Beijing, has a history of more than 740 years. It is the only chessboard traditional residence in China that completely preserves the texture of hutong courtyard in Yuan Dynasty. After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the prosperity of Nanluoguxiang came to an end.
But nowadays, for ordinary people, as long as Nanluoguxiang is mentioned, everyone's first reaction is "Snack Street is deceiving people" ... The taste is not authentic, it tastes terrible, and the price is expensive. What hunger marketing seems to be in short supply. No wonder there are always crowds here.
It's ok to look at the buildings here and feel the smell of old Beijing, but don't expect to eat delicious food.
Nanluoguxiang is not the only food street in Beijing that "pits tourists", including Wangfujing Snack Street and Qianmen Street ... Snacks are dazzling, some are miscellaneous but not refined, and some are horribly expensive.
There are many "food streets" like this, such as:
Guanqian Street in Suzhou, Zhongshan Road in Xiamen, Dongguan Street in Yangzhou, Russian Street in Dalian, Nanping Street in Kunming, Furong Street in Jinan, Bajiao Street in Lhasa, Erqi Road in Guiyang, Ancient Culture Street and Heather Food Street in Tianjin, Dehua Street in Erqi District of Zhengzhou, Mingqing Street in Shanxi, Shilin Night Market in Taiwan Province, etc.
I have to say that every city has such a "deceptive street". The so-called "pit" means that the taste does not match the name, and the price does not match the commodity.
Although they are all famous streets, perhaps because of this, the water is particularly deep. I'm not suggesting not going to these places. I just remind you to be careful when spending money in these places, and don't expect too much from the "local food" here. After all, places like this don't care about repeat customers.
Such a "food street"
Is there one in your city?
