Otherwise, why do you want to take an English name China(Chi na)?

So everywhere you go, you have to eat all over the food street.

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

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, which is dedicated to foreign tourists. All kinds of food and specialties look dazzling, but the price is much more expensive than outside, but every day, white people flock to it ...

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 was composed of several streets, such as Beiguangji Street, Beiyuanmen, Xiyang City, Dapiyuan, Huajue Lane and Sajinqiao.

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

But now, Huimin Street is also the hardest hit area for tourists to vomit. A Chinese hamburger sold in 15~20 yuan is not as delicious as that in 5 yuan outside.

The price in the food street is rising hard, but the taste can't go up. Some netizens even bluntly say that this street is a "black street", which specializes in first-time tourists.

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

Shanghai Chenghuang Temple enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad, which can be said to be the 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 building, 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 food has already fallen, and the price is too expensive. Netizens say that 20 yuan can only buy a steamed stuffed bun skin, 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, it is absolutely surprising for foreigners to taste them, but these are considered by the old Chengdu people to be not authentic and expensive, and the locals almost never go there. It is simply the first time for foreign tourists to go to the pit.

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

Handmade yogurt, freshly squeezed coconut juice, big squid with strange red color, and dim sum that tastes terrible here are all a handful. 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 they are expensive, even giving people the impression that it is messy. Some restaurants even cheat customers. When eating, you must pay attention to the menu. 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, today's Hubu Lane, the environment is getting worse, things are not delicious, and 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 would not be a place that is expensive and unpalatable, and locals all know that it is a trick to outsiders ~

There is a Pozi Street in Changsha, and there is a fire palace on the street. The fire palace is a temple dedicated to Vulcan. I don't know when it began to evolve 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 stinky tofu in Changsha in the Fire Palace has no so-called taste at all. It is a formal dish and bowl, and a few small pieces of tofu are so refined that they have some shapes. How can it be enjoyable to eat a few dollars a box in the alley?

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

Three lanes and seven alleys are known as the historical source and cultural root of Fuzhou, and have the reputation of "Living Fossil of Lifang System in China City" and "China Ming and Qing Architecture 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 ...

However, if you want to have a good time in Sanfangqixiang, you should give up this idea. There is no characteristic of Fuzhou at all. People who have been there say that they will never go there for the second time. Many nondescript chain stores and expensive fake snacks here have pushed the local real food into the corner.

Hefang Street, located in the old city of Hangzhou, is a historical and cultural block in Hangzhou, and the famous "Five Hangs" in Hang Cheng (Hangfen, Hangjian, Hangfan, Hangyan and Hangxian) come from this. Special snacks, antique calligraphy and painting, and shops gather here. There are more than 100 shops with time-honored brands and Hangzhou characteristics.

But now, 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. Excessive commerce has led to many good shops being buried or even neglected.

On the contrary, the same stinky tofu, the same grilled 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, you'll find it really boring during the day, and it's good to see 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.

Seeing the words "a century-old brand", it seems that there is no enthusiasm in the past. I don't know that the taste of time-old food has gradually changed, or that modern people's tastes are too picky, either the taste is average or the management and service are poor. After two times, the enthusiasm is no longer.

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, etc., and tourists come here in an endless stream every day ...

Because of this, tourists visiting the ancient city will inevitably taste the so-called "Yunnan cuisine" here: yak kebabs, wrapped tofu, red potato, Lijiang Baba, rice sausage and mushroom soup ... But in fact, most of the people who sell food in the ancient city are foreigners, just in the name of Yunnan cuisine.

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.

As the earliest food street in Qingdao, Pichai Yuan 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, three steps to the end, the things inside are rare and unpalatable, especially, smelly! 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 what is authentic. Most vendors are also from other places.

Nanluoguxiang, the most old Beijing-style street in Beijing, has a history of more than 740 years. It 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 look at the buildings here and feel the old Beijing, 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 ... 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, Shilin Night Market in Taiwan Province, etc.

I have to say that every city has such a "cheat people Street". The so-called "pit" means that the taste does not match the name, and the price does not match the goods.

Although they are all famous streets, perhaps because of this, 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.

Such a "food street"

Do you have it in your city?
