Top 3 Chinese Snack Streets - Locals Avoid Them, Tourists Flock To
No matter whether you are traveling for business or tourism abroad, you can't do without eating, yet there are a few places that are very famous and have many tourists, but the food there is expensive and bad.
Shanghai · Chenghua Temple
Chenghua Temple in Shanghai is famous for its various Shanghai snacks and possesses a distinct old Shanghai culture. However, for most locals, visiting here is not recommended, and locals also don't go there. It is precisely because of its fame that we absolutely must visit it if we haven't been before.
In this era, the more famous a place is, the more it becomes undesirable to visit, and the more it becomes a scam. Famous attractions are crowded, the items are expensive and bad. Take Shanghai's Chenghua Temple as an example. It no longer has that authentic street food atmosphere, it is completely commercialized, and not only is it expensive but also bad.
Xi'an · Hui Minority Street
Famous historical and cultural ancient city of Xi'an, not only ancient and charming, local specialties also attract many people. In Xi'an's food street, Hui Minority Street occupies a place. However, with its increasing fame, not only has the taste declined, but the price has also continued to rise, so locals also don't go there.
When traveling to Xi'an, Hui Minority Street is also a must-visit place, but most people will react upon returning, a characteristic is that it is crowded, and the price is slightly higher. Hui Minority Street is not a street, but a block – a very large area, which is collectively called Hui Minority Street.
Chengdu's food is renowned overseas, local snacks are numerous and diverse, however, despite the fame, the price of snacks in Jinli is slightly higher. When traveling to Chengdu, Jinli and Wuhou Temple are also must-visit places, the two places are only separated by a wall, filled with rich Three Kingdoms culture.
In the evening, you can see red lanterns lit up on the rooftops, and patches of red are particularly beautiful. During the day, Jinli is just a normal snack street, it's most beautiful at night.
In China's current tourist attractions, the more famous a place is, the more it becomes a scam – as if people are foolish and money is not much, we are not foolish and money is not much, but it's hard to resist going to places with many people and fame.
When traveling, you need to figure out what you want to do and your time and material cost, and then choose a destination based on this. Most tourist attractions have their value and purpose. There is no absolute scam, only whether it's suitable or not.
