In Nanning, the "green city" of Guangxi, there is a road with a very ordinary name - Zhongshan Road.

Among the many roads with the same name across the country, it uses food as its "registered trademark". In the increasingly homogenized urban roads, it relies on Nanning citizens.

Zhongshan Road is a street dedicated to foodies. For tourists, it is one of the top ten food streets in China. But for Nanning people, it is a small street where they usually eat late night snacks, make skewers and hang out. It is a part of Nanning life.

.

This old and young small street adds a lot of popularity.

For many people in Nanning, Zhongshan Road is where they grew up.

This small street about 1,000 meters long is bustling with hundreds of stalls gathering here after 6 o'clock every night.

The distance that can be walked in less than ten minutes during the day is almost impossible to walk at night. Foodies from all over the world gather here. There will be more than a dozen customers waiting to enjoy their food in front of each stall. The stall owners warmly entertain and comfort them.

The customer adds a few more spoons to the bowl. This is not only a way of survival in the food court, but also a tacit understanding formed between customers and stall owners over the years.

It is said that food streets are a hodgepodge of everything, but the reason why Zhongshan Road can stand out among so many food streets in Nanning and become a sign recommended by locals to outsiders is because it combines geographical advantages and not only brings together food from all over the country.

The food also includes food from all over Southeast Asia, which is very inclusive.

Let me recommend some Nanning specialty snacks to you!

Some friends will say that after seeing how to make water chestnut cake, they will never dare to eat water chestnut cake again.

The water chestnut cake is a bit transparent, chewy and a bit crunchy.

There are many different fillings to choose from, sesame flavor, pineapple flavor, etc.

They will cut it into sections for you and wrap it in flour, which is the best thing to eat in summer.

The ingredients used to make bo zai cake are different from those of water chestnut cake, but the taste is very similar.

The appearance of the bowl cake is very pleasing.

They are very cute in bowls, with red beans or shredded coconut added to create different flavors.

I remember that a long time ago, there were no bowl cakes on Zhongshan Road. Only some small shops opposite the school sold them. Later, those small shops gradually stopped selling them. I once thought that this kind of food would no longer be available.

Later I found out that it actually appeared on Zhongshan Road, which was a surprise.

There are many restaurants on Zhongshan Road that serve roasted pig's trotters, but I have only eaten at one of them. The roasted pork trotters taste great.

The pig's trotters are roasted on the barbecue charcoal until half-cooked. If the customer needs it, it can be reheated on site. Add some cumin powder and chili powder. After a while, the roasted pig's trotters will be ready.

It is recommended that you eat this food on the spot, as it will be more fragrant, tender and not greasy.

In Nanning, apart from Laoyou fans, one thing that has to be mentioned is the noodle dumplings.

Fen dumplings are different from ordinary dumplings. Their skin is made of rice and they taste soft.

This is a special snack of the Zhuang people in Guangxi, and you may not necessarily be able to eat it in other places, so don’t miss this delicacy when you come to Nanning.

Sour food is a Cantonese word, also known as "sour food" and "sour product". It is a specialty snack popular in various parts of Guangxi. It is sour, sweet, sour and salty, and comes in many varieties. It is collected from fruits and vegetables and tends to be sour.

The most important thing in choosing ingredients is the word "raw". Fruits and vegetables that are beginning to ripen or are already ripe are not suitable for making sour ingredients because they are already soft and not crisp enough. The taste is highlighted by the word "sour", which is moderately sour and salty, sweet and sour.

Common ones include radish acid, broccoli acid, canava acid, bean acid, hyacinic acid (hyosic acid), carambolic acid, peach acid, cucumber acid, melon acid, rice acid, papaya acid, salic acid, and mango acid.

etc.

In addition, the most eye-catching thing at Nanning Zhongshan Road Night Market is the various fried insects, including scary-looking scorpions and centipedes, as well as silkworm chrysalises, cicadas, bamboo worms, woodworms, grasshoppers, bee pupae, native dogs, and dragons.

There are all kinds of lice, etc., a dazzling array.

According to the stall owner, these insects are all artificially bred. They are rich in protein, have a delicate and sweet taste, and are rich in nutrients. Do you have the courage to taste them?

A road that gives people the impression of "like paradise at night and like a thatched house by day"; a road that takes less than 10 minutes to walk from start to finish with your feet, but may make you talk about it for several years; a road named after a famous Chinese political figure,

A road located in the center of the provincial capital city but not a major traffic artery - this is Nanning's Zhongshan Road.
