Chengdu is a particularly livable city. The pace of life of citizens is relatively slow. Although it is considered a first-tier city, without the fierce competition of big cities, people live a leisurely life, which is actually quite good.
There are many places to visit in and around Chengdu to make people's lives more leisurely.
The slow life of Chengdu people is more reflected in their food, especially the late night snacks of Chengdu people. They have many choices, and everything is exquisite.
I often envy Chengdu people. There are so many snacks to eat at night, with friends or alone, in street shops or market stalls. This is the fireworks of Chengdu people.
Although I only stayed in Chengdu for a short period of time, Chengdu’s midnight snacks left a deep impression on me. Chengdu people love midnight snacks from the bottom of their hearts. This kind of happiness overflows on the faces of every Chengdu person.
It’s very touching. Let’s talk about what foods Chengdu people choose for midnight snacks.
1. Zhong Shui Dumplings Zhong Shui Dumplings are probably a favorite late night snack among foreign tourists. Locals also eat Zhong Shui Dumplings, but they are not keen on them.
The filling of Zhong Dumplings is purely meat, with no other vegetables added. Special red oil is poured on it before serving, so Zhong Dumplings are also called red oil dumplings.
Traditional Zhong dumplings have the characteristics of thin skin, fine ingredients, tender fillings and fresh taste. They are a famous snack in Chengdu. Don’t forget to eat Zhong dumplings when traveling to Chengdu.
2. Long Chao Shou is what Sichuan people call wontons. Long Chao Shou is a famous snack in Chengdu and has a long history of almost a century.
The skin of Long Chao Shou is thin, the filling is tender, smooth and fragrant, the soup is thick and white, and it tastes really good when you eat it.
You have to choose the right place to eat Long Chao Shou. The Chunxi Road main store has the most authentic taste.

The taste of happiness, this may be the small happiness of ordinary people.
5. Lengdan Cup Lengdan Cup is a unique gourmet place in Chengdu, and it is also a favorite place for many people to spend the night.
This kind of cold cup in Chengdu should be called food stalls in other places, but there are still some differences from food stalls.
