China people are famous for their love of food.

Otherwise, why should we take the English name China(Chi na)?

So we have to eat all over the food court everywhere.

When it comes to food streets, tourist cities all over the country can be described as the same. Some of them are branded as time-honored brands, and some are labeled as literature and art ...

However, people who have really been there have similar feelings. Many food streets are expensive and not delicious. After all, many food shops in tourist areas do not ask for repeat customers. After all, there are new tourists every day ...

It is said that, Almost every city has a food street/folk street dedicated to foreign tourists. All kinds of food and specialties look dazzling, but the prices are much more expensive than those outside, but white people flock to it every day ...

Once upon a time, Huimin Street in Xi 'an was the block with the most concentrated snacks in Xi 'an, with a history of thousands of years. It consisted of Beiguangji Street, Beiyuanmen and Xiyang.

There are many delicious foods here, such as Chinese hamburger, mutton bread in soup, soup dumplings, roast chicken and so on, which are all famous local snacks.

But nowadays, Huimin Street is also the hardest hit area for tourists to vomit. A Chinese hamburger sold in 2 yuan is not as delicious as that in 5 yuan outside.

The prices in the food street are rising hard, but the taste is not going up. Some netizens even bluntly say that this street is a "black street" for first-time tourists.

Look at some dirty and messy streets, which is quite different from the original sentence "Huimin Street is the soul of Xi 'an" ...

Shanghai Chenghuang Temple is famous at home and abroad, and it can be said that it is a kingdom of dim sum. Green Wave Gallery, Songyue Building, Songyun Building, Nanxiang ... There are delicious foods everywhere. However, it also gradually lost the amorous feelings of old Shanghai in the commercial atmosphere!

Look at the amazing buildings, but what surprises you even more is the dense tourists. Even it takes more than half an hour to queue up to buy a Nanxiang steamed bun, and it's not delicious.

Although there are many snacks in Chenghuang Temple, the reputation of delicious food has long fallen, and the price is too high. Netizens say that 2 yuan can only buy a steamed stuffed bun, and the stuffing inside is not as big as a fingernail.

If you go to Kuanzhai Lane and Jinli for Chengdu cuisine, you may be disappointed. Although it has a good reputation here, except for teahouses and souvenirs, other consumption is much higher than that outside.

Although there are all kinds of Chengdu snacks here, which are absolutely surprising to foreigners, they are considered by the old Chengdu people to be not authentic and expensive, and the locals almost never go there. It is simply a first-time foreign tourist.

Ciqikou is a traditional street under special protection in Chongqing. There are many delicious food and souvenirs here, but no matter when you go, there are people who follow the crowd, especially on weekends and holidays.

Handmade yogurt, freshly squeezed coconut milk, big squid with strange red color and dim sum that tastes terrible are all grabbed by one hand. You can't tell which one is authentic at all! 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, with no special features. It is famous only because there are more foreigners, and it is too commercial ...

There are not many kinds of food here, but it is expensive, and even gives people the impression that it is messy. Some restaurants even cheat customers. When eating, you must pay attention to the menu, and it is best to take pictures of the menu with your mobile phone to prevent it from being mistaken.

There was a popular saying: "Try Hubu Lane early and visit Jiqing Street at night". Hubu Lane, a century-old lane, is known as "the first lane of Chinese flavor breakfast", and its prosperous 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, in Hubu Lane today, the environment is getting worse and the food is not delicious. The snacks used to taste bad and the price is high.

Someone once teased that the price of Hubu Lane is simply the weather vane of price increase ... Even netizens in Wuhan said that it was not acceptable to that place, which was expensive and unpalatable. Locals all knew that it was a joke to outsiders ~

There is a Pozi Street in Changsha, where there is a fire palace, which is a temple dedicated to Vulcan. I don't know when it started, it has evolved into a famous folk snack street.

It has completely become a snack street for foreign tourists. No matter how beautiful it used to be, it can only be seen now, but there is no need to look for food here.

Eating Changsha stinky tofu in the Fire Palace has no so-called taste at all. It's a formal dish and bowl, and a few small pieces of tofu are so refined that they have a little shape. How can you enjoy it at the alley mouth for a few dollars a box?

No wonder even Changsha people say that the Fire Palace is just a "tourist distribution center", and it can only be used as a scenic spot to visit at most.

the three lanes and seven alleys are known as the historical source and cultural root of Fuzhou, and have the reputation of "the living fossil of the lane system in China city" and "China Ming and Qing architectural museum".

To tell the truth, you can really feast your eyes on the beauty of architecture here, although there are many antique buildings and antique commercial streets ...

But if you want to eat well in Sanfangqixiang, you should give up this idea. There is no characteristic of Fuzhou here at all. People who have been there say that they will never go there again. Many nondescript chain stores and expensive fake snacks here crowd the real local food into the corner.

Hefang Street, located in the old city of Hangzhou, is a historical and cultural block of Hangzhou, from which Hang Cheng is famous for its "Five Hangs" (Hangfen, Hangjian, Hangfan, Hangyan and Hangxian). Special snacks, antique calligraphy and painting, and shops gather here. There are more than 1 shops with time-honored brands and Hangzhou characteristics.

But nowadays, as long as Hefang Street is mentioned, Hangzhou locals are really uninterested in this pedestrian street. The reason is very simple. It has become a must-see place for foreign tourists, and many good shops have been buried or even neglected due to excessive commerce.

On the contrary, the same stinky tofu, the same roasted squid and the same big kebabs can be seen everywhere ... as bad as those in other food streets in China.

There has always been a false proposition about food in Nanjing. Whenever you are asked about Nanjing food, you think of Confucius Temple snacks.

If you really go there, you will find it really boring during the day, but it's better to visit Qinhuai River at night. But I sincerely suggest that you don't eat there. Snacks are all from outside, and you can't eat any special food at all.

when I saw the words "a century-old brand", I seemed to have lost my enthusiasm in the past. I don't know whether the taste of the time-old brand food has gradually changed, or whether the taste of modern people is too picky, either the taste is average or the management and service are poor. After two times, the enthusiasm is no longer there.

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 colorful local ethnic customs and entertainment activities here, such as Naxi ancient music, Dongba ceremony, divination culture, ancient town bar and Naxi Torch Festival, and so on ...

Because of this, tourists visiting the ancient city will inevitably taste the so-called "Yunnan cuisine" here: yak kebabs, wrapped tofu, red potato and Lijiang Zan.

In Old Town of Lijiang, I often hear people say, why are the rice noodles crossing the bridge in Yunnan so bad? God, how can you eat authentic cross-bridge rice noodles in Old Town of Lijiang? If you want to eat cross-bridge rice noodles, you can eat them in Mengzi, the shooting place of Fanghua. That is the hometown of cross-bridge rice noodles.

Pichai Yuan, as the earliest food street in Qingdao, is a must-see for almost every visitor who first arrives in Qingdao. Because of its great fame, there seems to be something missing if you don't go around. Because of its great fame, it has also become a "cheat people Street" criticized by netizens ...

Pichai Yuan, which has come to an end in three steps, has few and unpalatable things, especially, it stinks! Bean! Rot! The netizens teased that the stinky tofu here is simply the signboard of "cheat people Street".

Although it is a must-see place for tourists to punch in, the "high price and poor taste" have repeatedly disappointed tourists, not to mention the authenticity. Most vendors are also from other places.

Nanluoguxiang, the most old Beijing-style street in Beijing, has a history of more than 74 years, and is the only chessboard-style traditional residence in China that completely preserves the texture of hutong courtyards in the Yuan Dynasty. After the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, the prosperity of Nanluoguxiang slowly ended.

But nowadays, for ordinary people, as long as Nanluoguxiang is mentioned, everyone's first reaction is "snack street in cheat people" ... the taste is not authentic, it tastes terrible, the price is expensive, and what hunger marketing is done seems to be in short supply. No wonder there are always crowds here.

It's ok to see the architecture and feel the old Beijing here, but don't expect to eat delicious food.

Nanluoguxiang is not the only food street that "pits tourists" in Beijing, including Wangfujing Snack Street and Qianmen Street, which are almost the same ... Snacks are dazzling, some are miscellaneous but not refined, and some are prohibitively 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 Nanshi Food Street in Tianjin, Dehua Street in Erqi District of Zhengzhou, Ming and Qing Street in Shanxi, and Taiwan Province.

Although they are all famous streets, perhaps it is because of this that the water is particularly deep. I am not suggesting not to go to these places. I just remind you to be cautious when spending money in these places, and don't expect too much from the "local food" here. After all, a place like this doesn't care about repeat customers.

Is there such a "food street"

Is there one in your city?
