It has indeed become a landmark commercial and cultural street that inherits Hunan culture and leads the trend of the times.
After reading a lot of travel guides, I found that the whole point of going to Changsha is to eat. But for someone who can't tell the difference between Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine, they're all spicy anyway.
After putting down the luggage, we took a taxi directly to Pozi Street, which is a thousand-year-old street with many time-honored delicacies. As soon as we entered the street, we saw the classic black stinky tofu, 6 pieces for 10 yuan, sugar-coated baba for 10 yuan for 6 pieces, and large sausages for 13 yuan. We quickly caught all the must-try snacks in Changsha, and they tasted pretty good.

Come and visit, the most down-to-earth place in Changsha~
Changsha, Pozi Street, is adjacent to Taiping Ancient Street and is also a prosperous area in Changsha.
Since the outbreak, this is the most popular place I have seen.
There are many delicious foods. You can eat while walking around. The food you want to eat is relatively complete.
Fire Palace on Pozi Street in Changsha City - It coincides with a grand temple fair that integrates traditional folk culture, fire temple culture, and food culture. Enjoy the famous snacks of Fire Palace in Hunan Province.
It looks very lively, but in fact, it is just like similar places in other cities, mostly visited by outsiders. The things there are not so local.
Puzi Street is also a gathering place for snacks. There are many kinds of snacks, so you can never have the same taste twice.
Pozi Street is a special food street, where the Fire Palace is located. If you go at the wrong time, it will be a little deserted. It should be more lively at night. Taiping Street is similar to many special ancient streets, with various quaint special shops lined up, and tourists are bustling and lively.
Every city in the country now has a food street. Just think about it.
Take Metro Line 2 at "Juzizhou" Station, towards Changsha Railway Station, 2 stops, transfer to Line 1 at "Wuyi Square" Station, towards "Shangshuangtang", 1 stop, get off at "Huangxing Square" Station, and you will arrive at Changsha's most famous Pozi Street. At the intersection of "Pozi Street" and "Sanwang Street", the main entrance is on "Pozi Street", with a stone archway with four pillars and three doors. Inside the archway are two small and one large arched red courtyard walls, and inside are the courtyards of "Fire Palace" and "Fire God Temple".
I think it's a little expensive, but I'm still very happy. Traveling is fun.
The whole street is full of people shopping, eating and playing, but there are too many people and it is too crowded
There are many food options in the shopping district, and there are many stinky tofu restaurants.
A food paradise, a must for foodies. But the environment is not very good and the management is a bit messy
I waited in line for 15 minutes at Wenheyou, and I got angry right after eating...
A street full of famous snacks, you don't need to go out for dinner to eat them all, Changsha big sausage, stinky tofu...
Pozi Street, with a history of 1,200 years, is the most popular street in Changsha
The night view is very good, there are all kinds of food on the street, and the store has a sense of age.
There are so many snacks here. I was in a hurry this time because of some things. I will come again next time.
When you go to Changsha, you must eat all kinds of snacks and go to all kinds of Internet celebrity restaurants
I tried the famous black classic stinky tofu. Fire Palace and so on. The sugar-coated baba felt like glutinous rice cake. Anyway, I tried all the famous ones. Nothing was particularly delicious. It felt like they were fried with a lot of oil. Very greasy. I made a big purchase and ordered the 96-flavored lobster! But it was really delicious. 22 shrimps. I thought it was a bit of a rip-off, I didn't make it clear and ordered a large portion... OK, I spent a lot of money
Pozi Street is quite large and you can spend 1 to 2 hours strolling around it.
The two cross streets of Taiping Street and Pozi Street are a paradise for foodies. You can find all the Hunan snacks you can think of, such as big meat skewers, stinky tofu, and sugar-coated glutinous rice cakes.
The first thing I felt was the crowds. There were so many people that it was hard to move. I finally understood how foodies become good at eating. Changsha's food is nothing but spicy. Oh, how can I enjoy it with my stomach that is not used to spicy food?
Bozi Street is a snack street with the famous Fire Palace on it. You can come here to experience Changsha's food culture.
The famous Fire Palace in Puzi Street was actually originally a temple of the God of Fire. It was destroyed in the "Wenxi" fire, leaving only this archway. When it was later rebuilt, vendors invested in building shops next to it, forming a snack market.
Pozi Street is a food street, come and eat to your heart's content!
You all know what to eat in Changsha without me telling you. Changsha stinky tofu is a must! Food recommendations: No. 1, Wenheyou stinky tofu, No. 2, Wenheyou big sausage, No. 3, preserved vegetable braised pork pie, No. 4, sugar-coated baba, No. 5, Sijie noodle shop (we had braised beef noodles).
Like Taiping, it is also a commercial street, but it is much wider. The famous Fire Palace is located on Puzi Street.
The location is very convenient, and it is connected to Sanwang Street, Hisense Plaza, Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street, and Yuefang Shopping Plaza. The streets and alleys are full of fragrance. If you just walk around here, you will have the opportunity to taste at least 70% of Changsha's local delicacies.
There are many famous Hunan food signature restaurants here, such as Xinhualou, Huoguangdian, Laojie Yuzuiba, and Yang Yuxing, as well as well-known snack chains such as Wenheyou, Luoji, and Black Classic. There are more delicacies waiting to be discovered, and even the old Changsha people may not have tried them all.
It is just south along Huangxing Road, close to Fire Palace, where Changsha’s delicacies are concentrated.
Came to this great place on the street! A lot of delicious and fun things~
Pozi Street, Huangxing Road, Wuyi Square, and Temple Street are all together. Usually, you eat while walking at night because there are so many snacks in these places, such as stinky tofu, crayfish, candied haws, spicy hot pot, braised rice noodles, and some other novels that will definitely make you unable to walk. There is also the unique Cha Yan Yue Se in Changsha. We stayed in Changsha for three days and bought a cup almost every day. Sometimes one cup was not enough and we had to take another cup back to the hotel. I especially recommend Liang Sheng Hua, which is beautiful in color and tastes great
Not bad, very lively, just in time for the World Cup. Everyone was eating crayfish and watching the game at the night market, a comfortable life!
Pozi Street is now very prosperous. The intersection in the picture below is the prosperous part of the pedestrian street. There are tall buildings in front of you, and the night view must be very dazzling. Do you see the two big dolls on the tall building in the distance? There is an aerial platform there, where you can enjoy a good view. Interested friends may wish to go up and take a look.
In fact, Pozi Street is very short, only a few dozen meters. If you want to eat, I recommend Taiping Street, which is also quite unique.
Almost everything you want to eat can be found on Puzi Street. There is Sijie Noodle House at the corner of the street, Huoguangdian not far away, and various specialty shops. In short, you don't have to worry about going hungry.
The snack street is deserted on New Year's Eve. You foreign tourists who come to Changsha at other times have never seen such a scene, right?
A must-visit place when traveling to Changsha. It is usually crowded with people! We can take pictures however we want, we are so willful!
I originally planned to go to Huogongdian, but when I got there, I felt that there was nothing attractive there. I don't eat spicy food, so I ended up going to Xinhualou. The environment was good, and the food was similar to Hong Kong-style dim sum. The food looked good, but the taste was average and particularly oily. Maybe it's because I'm a Cantonese and I prefer the original flavor of the food. I personally think that the taste of Cantonese teahouses is lighter and more original.
I went to Changsha for the food, and I looked for food along the way. There are a lot of delicious food, but the taste is a bit strong, which makes you thirsty. I recommend Cha Yan Yue Se, which is delicious. There is also a Mama Tea that is not bad.
I came during the Qingming Festival. It was raining, and many shops were closed. It was terribly cold. Finally, I found a Walmart and went shopping. I had Luo Ji's stinky tofu, which was salty and spicy. I really couldn't get used to it. I was desperate when I went to eat noodles in the morning. The auntie's service attitude was terrible. Well, fortunately, the weather was clear. I found a restaurant with good service attitude and delicious food. It is on the street near Du Fu Jiangge. We first went to Pozi Street, then Taiping Street, and then to Du Fu Jiangge. The hot and sour noodles here are very spicy. My friend cried when he ate it. If you want to eat it, you can try it. For the hotel, we booked Yunsu B&B on Xiaozhu Short-term Rental. The price is very cheap and it is also quite comfortable. If you use electricity, it is only 10 degrees.
You can spend a whole day strolling around the pedestrian street and Pozi Street.
This place is really a paradise for foodies. There is a Fire Palace on this street, which is the main store. All the snacks in Changsha are there. They are delicious and inexpensive. You deserve it!
Internet celebrity food street, but when I got to Pozi Street, I felt quite deserted, not as lively as the nearby Huangxing Street. However, Internet celebrity food can still be found in Pozi Street, such as stinky tofu, oil-sugar baba, etc. I saw the advice of a bee net friend online and took Metro Line 2 to Wuyi Square. Later, I walked around Pozi Street. I felt that Exit 1 of Huangxing Square on Line 1 was closer to Pozi Street, but Pozi Street was not as lively as Huangxing Square.
The reputation of China's four major food streets is definitely not in vain. The snacks in Changsha Pozi Street can make you full, and the taste is absolutely unique. Highly recommended!
Changsha Pozi Street, with a long history of more than 1,200 years, is a veritable thousand-year-old street and also a representative of Hunan culture.

The newly built Pozi Street was officially opened on October 1, 2005, starting from Huangxing South Road in the east and ending at Xiangjiang Avenue in the west, with a total length of 640 meters. Today, Pozi Street has become very modern, and it is difficult to find the ancient feeling. The small street still has a large flow of people, after all, it is located in a relatively prosperous area.
It was noon when we went there! Not many people! It was quite quiet.
The food was not as much as I thought, maybe my expectations were too high.
It is no different from pedestrian streets all over the country, just for eating and shopping. In winter, the streets are not very clean.
In addition to Taiping Street, Changsha has another snack street called Pozi Street, but it is inferior to Taiping Street.
When talking about food in Changsha, the first thing that comes to mind is Pozi Street! Wuyi Square is connected from Taiping Old Street to Pozi Street. It is a great benefit for foodies! However, the heat wave is still rolling and there are no pedestrians on the road. It happened to be past lunch time. There was no customer in the store except the waiter! I just finished my meal and my stomach was full. It was still hot and I had no appetite. I had to take a quick look and take pictures! Along the way, there are Zhang Yixing’s favorite Sijie Rice Noodle Shop, Hu Dia Bicycle BBQ, Black Classic Luo Ji, full of delicious food, but it’s a pity that I don’t have that appetite. I really hope there is an air conditioner to follow me! I mind more that if you have time in the hot summer, you should go out to find food at night. There will be more people and it will feel better. At least the weather will be cooler!
It is a snack street for outsiders, with all kinds of food and specialties
I ordered a set meal on Meituan, and the two of us were very full.
One of the must-see attractions in Changsha, eat eat eat!!
After visiting Orange Island, go to the snack street...
I was just going to have a look. I have never liked stinky tofu, but when I came to Changsha and saw many people lining up to buy it, I couldn't help but challenge it. After eating it, I realized that it was really Changsha's stinky tofu. It was not stinky at all, and the taste was okay. I felt that I could eat it all the time. It was really my first time to eat it. I would retreat when I smelled that smell in other places before. It was delicious...
It’s really delicious……
😘😘😘
A street for snacks and shopping.
The Fire Palace is just down the street.
Not bad, there are many snacks, stinky tofu is the best
It is also a food street with a large concentration of snacks.
Pozi Street is a food street in Changsha with Huogongdian as its leading point. It is named after the slope on the street. Pozi Street is a small street, but it gathers many food in Changsha.
It is a veritable thousand-year-old street with a total length of 640 meters. It connects several business districts and is a landmark commercial and cultural street.
So many people, so much food, so lively! I couldn't stop eating
It intersects with Taiping Street and is also a snack street. It is more famous than Taiping Street and has many delicious foods. It is a must-visit place in Changsha
The overall evaluation is good, but there are some hidden costs in some places, which needs attention
The taxi driver said Changsha is a city that never sleeps, but at 12 o'clock, Pozi Street was already deserted.
I like the stinky tofu there the most, it is so delicious and I will buy it over and over again!
2017.2.22 The grandfather and I went to Pozi Street to taste various delicacies. The night view was great, the transportation was convenient, and there were many shops.
One of Changsha's most popular and oldest streets, it is together with Sanwang Street, Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street and Hualongchi. It is very lively day and night, with so many delicious foods that one night is not enough, you'll need another three days and three nights!
Changsha Pozi Street is a food street in Changsha. It is a pedestrian street with a wide variety of snacks, gourmet shops and hot pot restaurants on both sides of the pedestrian street. It is similar to Harbin's Central Street but not as long as Central Street. It is similar to Beijing's Nanluoguxiang.
There is the famous Fire Palace on Pozi Street, as well as other Changsha food stores. However, due to time constraints, we did not have time to stop here to taste the food. We just bought an ice cream at McDonald's dessert shop.
I highly recommend a new restaurant I just discovered. It sells steaks and is really delicious. I highly recommend it. It's opposite Yuehui Plaza and seems to be Sha Yin House Steak Bar
Very cool, I will go there next time, wakaka, I love it
I waited for half an hour at Huogongdian but didn't get a seat, so I wanted to look for other places. Not far from the outside is Wuhoudetang. This restaurant has a good rating on the review website, so I saw such a unique building and went in to see if there were any seats. But when I walked in, I found that there were still many people, and there were more than 40 tables waiting in front. I took a menu and looked at it. After considering the situation, I had no choice but to leave. However, the decoration style inside is also quite ancient. The screen in front of the door is marked with a price of two million, as if there are antiques everywhere.
