In addition to the shocking number of electric vehicles in Nanning, Guangxi, there is another feature that makes outsiders linger, and that is the night market. On a sultry summer night in Nanning, meet up with a few friends, ride an electric bike, go to a roadside stall in the streets and alleys, grill some skewers, pick up a few plates of sour bamboo shoots and stir-fry snails, and drink ice-cold sugar water or fruit. Fishing, it’s as happy as a fairy!
Now here are some of the more famous night markets in Nanning recommended to you.
Zhongshan Road
Among many roads with the same name across the country, it uses food as its "registered trademark". In the increasingly homogenized urban roads, it is closely related to the citizens of Nanning. Snuggle.
Nearly all Nanning’s traditional snacks are concentrated here, such as taro cake, ring noodles, snails, seafood, sour wild beans, herbal tea, freshly squeezed juice, glutinous rice balls, wontons, beef balls, and Bazhen Yi noodles. , Laoyou noodles, stir-fries, duck necks from Wuhan, bowl cakes from Hong Kong, large intestines wrapped in small intestines from Taiwan, oyster omelette, etc. Zhongshan Road in Nanning is also known as the "Hong Kong Snack Street" in the south. Since the China-ASEAN Expo was permanently settled in Nanning, China Central Television also filmed a documentary on Zhongshan Road in 2010. Zhongshan Road is a collection of specialty snacks from the ten ASEAN countries.
Walking on this street, the aroma of grilled squid will constantly arouse your taste buds. The sound of sizzling grilled oysters and shrimps will make your mouth water. There is also a fried bamboo shoot with a unique smell of sour bamboo shoots. At Tianluo, every stall will make you unable to move your feet. Here you can truly feel the fireworks of Nanning. There is nothing you can’t think of here, nothing you can’t eat, there will always be a snack here that will make your heart beat.
Pingxi Night Market
As the saying goes in Nanning, "Heroes have a hard time with beauties, and beauties have a hard time with sour food stalls." This reflects the rich and delicious food in Pingxi Night Market! This street is not very famous, but it is my favorite street. The main specialty of Pingxi Night Market is fruits. The fruits piled up on the stalls are red, green, and purple. The colors are so colorful that your eyes will be blown away. Lychees, grapes, and plums are all beautiful fruits.
Speaking of fruits, of course we can’t forget the Guangxi specialty snack-sour. Nanning people can't live without sour food in summer. Pingxi's hand-picked plum fruit is really worth trying. It's super appetizing! For a Guangxi person, my favorite thing is the plum fruit in my hand, which is Sanhua plum. The sour and sweet plum fruit in your hands combined with the spicy chili noodles is simply the greatest enjoyment for Guangxi people! There are two hand-picked plum fruit here that I recommend, one is "Amu's Hand-picked Plum Fruit" and the other is "Fei Jie Sour". Both are delicious, and anyone who is interested can try it.
Xiguan Night Market Street
This is a new night market street. This night market street does not have as much pyrotechnics as Zhongshan Road and looks more standardized and tidy. Secondly, this street has relatively few people and does not appear crowded. In my opinion, its main focus is the dazzling and gorgeous night market scenery, which is suitable for Internet celebrities to check in.
Here, the small light scene on the bank of Chaoyang River is a highlight of Xiguan Night Market. "Forest of Time" uses lighting to design a "luminous tree", and the red hearts next to it create a sweet atmosphere; "Butterfly Secret Land" uses a large number of lights to create a "shooting star", with "butterflies" dancing under the "shooting star" , like a fairyland. It’s tempting to take out your phone and take photos.
Here you can walk under the lanterns of Xiguan Street, buy a cup of milk tea, and hang out all night. Experience the most gorgeous night market life and the most pleasant night.
