There are two night markets in Kaifeng. The first one is the Drum Tower, which has always been very popular and specializes in snacks. However, due to the increasing number of tourists recently, prices have been inflated, so that it is difficult for many locals to afford such consumption and move to Xisi Night Market in Baogong Lake. However, compared with the Drum Tower, Xisi actually doesn't have many snacks, just some ordinary casseroles and appetizers, but its advantages are large weight and affordable price.
instead of going to the night market to eat snacks, we should learn from the local people and decide where to go according to what we want to eat. If you want to eat spicy mutton trotters, go to the Drum Tower. In Gulou, you can also eat fried sweet potato paste, Kaifeng almond tea, fried bean jelly and mutton steamed buns. If you want to eat sesame cakes, you can go to Xufu Street, and if you want to eat mutton sausage soup, you can go to the south of the city. The locals are not limited to the night market!
However, Xisi Night Market also has some snacks that are worth introducing. Xisi is also a good choice if you want to taste Kaifeng snacks as much as possible. Here, you can eat traditional Kaifeng snacks, such as Rongji almond tea, mutton steamed buns, kebabs, oil-sprinkled noodles, spicy sheep's feet, smoked rabbit meat, Hu spicy soup, etc., and the average person is about 3!
Recommended stores in Xisi Night Market: Zhang Er fried bean jelly, Shang Ji braised mutton, beef bone soup, Er Sao mutton steamed buns, yogurt fried aloe, Hou Ji pineapple rice and so on.
actually, there is no need to blindly follow the trend. Everyone's taste is very private, and you may not necessarily find what others think is delicious, so try to pick your favorite place! Everyone likes the night market, but if you don't like roadside stalls, it won't be a pity not to go. Traveling is to follow your heart, where you want to go, and there are so many delicious foods in Kaifeng. Besides the night market, you can collect more, so you can do more homework!
