I am a native of Kaifeng, and eating food in Kaifeng is very tricky. No matter how far it is, as long as the taste is right, there will be no problem. I don’t care about Gaotang shop or alley stall, I can devour it even if I sit on a small stool as high as a few meters.

It is my favorite food and familiar taste. I rarely go to Gulou when eating night markets in old Kaifeng. The Gulou Night Market is mainly aimed at foreign tourists. The main reason is: this place does not eat your favorite food, but is more like an art palace of snacks.

In the cultural category, it’s like this is a cultural propaganda unit, and what we want is a canteen. (Personal opinion, don’t comment if you don’t like it.) I personally live in the East District of Kaifeng City, and I prefer to go to Labor Road Night Market or Bianjing Road Night Market.

And Songmen Night Market, it is very close to home, you can go there by taking a walk in the evening, and you don’t have to worry about getting home after drinking some wine. It is more down-to-earth, the food is delicious, the price is low, simple and honest, everything is available, and ordinary people can’t live a simple life.

What a bargain!

This is my Kaifeng native snack treasure!

The first reason is that the locals in Kaifeng have eaten enough and there is no need to eat all the time.

There are ten famous night markets in Kaifeng, such as Laohe Daximen Night Market, Pingguoyuan Night Market, Beidaomen Night Market, Wuyi Night Market, etc. The largest of them is Gulou Night Market.

As a local in Kaifeng, I am no stranger to snacks because it is right in front of my home. I have been eating snacks since I was a child. Besides, it is also a holiday when outsiders go there. On the contrary, locals just avoid traveling during family holidays.

The second reason is that many stall owners in Kaifeng’s night markets are locals themselves.

As far as I know, the prices of night market stalls in Kaifeng are not low, especially some of the better locations are not something ordinary people can buy. At the entrance of various scenic spots, the vendors are almost all locals, including people from various districts and counties.

.

Therefore, locals can easily grab food if they want. There is no need to eat at the night market with tourists from other places during holidays.

Since the development of Kaifeng Gulou Night Market, its value no longer lies in the food itself, but in the symbols and signs of a city. Many cities now have strict control over night markets, but Kaifeng's night market is still very lively. It is also a cultural symbol of the city.

So now many locals no longer focus on eating, but focus on making delicious food and promoting snack culture.

We locals in Kaifeng have our own habits of eating at night markets. Everyone has their own food map. Price is only one factor and does not dominate. The key is to taste good. A night market may only have so many delicious stalls for us locals.

There are two or three. Kaifeng is not a big city. My friends and I often buy some delicious food at this night market and then go to the next night market to find a satisfactory stall to eat together. The night market owners in Kaifeng are relatively tolerant, but we must pay attention.

The food you buy must be distinguished between the Hui and Han ethnic groups. Do not eat food tabooed by other ethnic groups at stalls of your own ethnic group. You must respect the customs of other ethnic groups.

For breakfast, we have to go to the alleys. The aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alleys. It is true in our Kaifeng. So if we come to Kaifeng to eat delicious food, we must experience the night market that has not closed since the Song Dynasty. I’m afraid

You need to stay longer. Finally, thank you for reading my ramblings. Friends from all over the world are coming to our Kaifeng. It’s delicious, fun, and the enthusiastic Kaifeng people welcome you.

Not to mention Kaifeng Night Market, many night markets are not worth spending money on.

First, how to ensure health?

Is there water service?

Wash dishes, chopsticks, and hands. Is there water?

How to ensure that food is hygienic and clean?

Second, is there a bathroom?

How convenient?

Third, night markets and street stalls are not cheap at all.

Night markets in many places, including Kaifeng, also engage in the practice of ripping off customers. If you are not careful, you can become a victim.

I really don't understand why many people like to eat at night markets.

A friend said that he likes the atmosphere of the night market.

Well, I respect your personal choice, but I still feel that eating consumes food rather than atmosphere.

The first reason is that the locals in Kaifeng already eat enough, and there is no need to eat all the time.
