As one of the most authentic street food cultures, night markets have countless food choices, some of which are not to be missed when visiting the night markets.

Here are a few must-buy snacks that I recommend from my own experience.

1. Pan-fried buns: Pan-fried buns are a specialty snack in Shanghai. They are golden and crispy on the outside, full of fillings and fragrant inside.

2. Barbecue: Barbecue stalls at night markets are almost inevitable, with everything from mutton skewers to chicken wings to choose from.

3. Pot stickers: Pot stickers are a popular Chinese meal, a crispy yet tender snack with a wonderful texture.

4. Malatang: Malatang is a type of boiled food that uses spicy flavor and various vegetables as its main ingredients. There are often various hot Malatang stalls at night markets.

5. Pancakes: Usually sweet and served with lotus paste, red beans, syrup or other jams, pancakes are a very popular Shanghainese snack.

6. Hamburgers: In fact, hamburgers are no longer a foreign patent. Now there are various flavors of hamburgers in China, such as fried egg burgers, chicken burgers, etc.

7. Red bean glutinous rice dumpling: Red bean glutinous rice dumpling is a snack with a great taste. It is made of glutinous rice flour on the outside and sweet and soft red bean filling on the inside.

8. Stinky Tofu: Despite its bad reputation, stinky tofu is popular in many parts of China.

The stinky tofu at the night market always has a special fragrance, but once you taste it, you will be addicted to its delicious taste.

9. Braised Beef Noodles: This is a traditional Chinese snack that is very popular at night markets in China because of its ever-lasting deliciousness.
