On the old street of the food street more than 500 meters, there is a retro Ming and Qing architecture with cornices and arches, and there are archways of the food street before and after. Stepping into Taiyuan Food Street is an antique charm.
It's called the food street. Naturally, this street is famous for its delicious food. Let's start with the delicious food in this place. The most popular one must be Hongxiang's honey sauce big twist, because every day there are diners waiting in line to eat big twist. The skin is crisp, the inside is sweet, and the fragrance is overflowing. No wonder passers-by will unconsciously slow down and wait in line to taste such delicious food.
In addition, Shanxi specialty dishes, steamed with buckwheat flour, taste tight and smooth, with Shanxi specialty vinegar and seasoning, salty and refreshing. Yangji enema, the most popular food, is similar to the materials used in dishes, but the eating method and taste are quite different.
In addition to these authentic Taiyuan flavors, the food street also has a large number of online celebrity foods. The wide noodles and cold pot strings of Qu are also worth a try. The mutton skewers hanging in the furnace are of good quality, fat and thin, and have northwest flavor. Hot dough, with shredded potatoes and other ingredients, tastes crisp.
How does a business center with a thousand years history become the most popular food street in Taiyuan? The food street, formerly known as Maoer Lane, was the gathering place of the hat-making industry in Song Dynasty, and was also the commercial center at that time. It was not until 1986 that it was officially renamed as a food street for business. After the decline in the middle of the food street, after a comprehensive transformation, hundreds of food brands have settled in, and now it has become a representative business card of Taiyuan's cultural food.
Visiting Taiyuan Food Street at night is more charming, the first neon, retro Ming and Qing architecture, full of ancient charm and elegance, and the two-story cornice drum tower with mahogany tiles on both sides of the ancient road. Shop decoration is also antique, enjoying the ancient charm and customs on the side of the food street. In the old streets, you can taste the local specialties, as well as the novel and fashionable online celebrity foods, which can be described as Xian Yi for all ages. It is not only a place for the elderly to visit culture, but also a place for young people to punch in online celebrity food.
When you come to Taiyuan, you must come to this food street and feel the local food atmosphere. A commercial street that has been prosperous for thousands of years always has its endless charm.
