I ate some delicious fried dough sticks!! They were really delicious. I prefer the ones with scallion oil, they are very fragrant. I visited various shops, all of which were selling small things. There was a shop that had a lot of notebooks!!! I loved it. There were also postcards to send. I wrote two and stamped them with various commemorative stamps (not only Furong Street stamps, but also most of the famous scenic spots in Jinan. The lady was really nice and let me stamp whatever I wanted)

Between Furong Street and Kuanhouli, I still prefer Kuanhouli, at least there are not so many people in Kuanhouli. . When walking on Furong Street, I was completely pushed by the flow of people, it was full of people. . The two of us were not in the mood to buy food, so we just bought a portion of spicy chicken feet and walked out of Furong Street.

By Biaobiao |

Furong Street is the most popular food spot in Jinan. I feel that the food is mostly from other places and the taste is average. I think every tourist city has such a famous snack street! Youxuan, the symbol of Jinan, the memory of old Jinan people, the taste hidden deep in people's memory. Going north along Furong Street, you can see Jinan Fuxue Confucian Temple, Christian Church, Qushui Pavilion, and Daming Lake Main Gate.

By Tian Xiaoyu's Dream |

There are many snack streets like this in every city. Jinan's Furong Street is similar to Chengdu's Jinli, Beijing's Nanluoguxiang, Wuhan's Hubuxiang, etc. Furong Street is located in the Baihuazhou Cultural District. The narrow streets are full of snacks from all over the world. At night, the lights are bright, the heat is rising, and pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder. It is the most lively scene. In fact, after a look, the whole Furong Street is full of snacks from all over the world, especially grilled skewers, fried chicken, and pig's trotters. The only things that are really related to Jinan should be a few Shandong restaurants and a few shops selling oil-fried dumplings.

By Quanzhou Foodie |

Snacks are one of the must-eats when traveling. When traveling in Jinan, Shandong, you can eat all kinds of snacks.

Grilled Durian

In the snack street of Furong Street in Jinan,

They also have yogurt, durian 25 yuan / piece, very fragrant, the smell is very good,

Roasted durian - Wrap a whole piece of durian in tin foil and roast it over charcoal. The aroma spreads everywhere, and the aroma is so fragrant that you can't stop.

The durian flesh is sweet and tender, and it is even softer and more delicious when roasted. One is not enough, so I ordered two.

By Lemon Rain |

Anyway, even though Furong Street has lost the appearance of the old alleys of Jinan, it is still worth a visit as a landmark of Jinan. Moreover, there are several small shops with Jinan characteristics.

By Gai Gai Chen |

Furong Street is an old street and snack street with the characteristics of Jinan, the city of springs. Furong Street is a pedestrian street running from north to south, named after the famous spring on the street - Furong Spring. The bluestone pavement is 432 meters long and 4.6 meters wide. We went there at around 4 pm. There were so many people that we couldn't walk at all. Originally, people could enter and exit from the north and south, but it became a one-way street in the end. People entered from the north gate and exited from the south gate. It was crowded and I was worried about stampedes when walking inside. There were all kinds of snacks inside, just like snacks in other cities, such as milk tea, barbecue, stinky tofu, and all kinds of Internet celebrity snacks in the food street. There was nothing special about it, so I don't recommend it.

By tsavo |

Furong Street is located in the most prosperous area of the city center. There are many old buildings around it. It was also a gathering place for scholars in the past. Now it has become a snack street with many local characteristics, of course, the quality is uneven.

By Roots |

Better than expected, the surrounding alleys are worth exploring, not a man-made attraction. Go there to take pictures in the early morning and evening, the scenery is different.

By April Sea |

It is true that the food on Furong Street is not much different from the food streets in other cities. Anyway, we are here just to find snacks.

By Xiaoxiao |

It's quite dirty and messy, and the snacks are not very special. Maybe I've been to too many small streets like this.

By I am a cloud |

Although it is the most famous food street in Jinan, it is too bad. The food is the kind that can be found all over the country. It is dirty and messy. There will be restrictions on the flow of people during holidays! I suggest you go to another food street in Jinan, Kuanhouli, which is much more upscale.

By Yutongfay |

Every place seems to have such a street, the food street in Tianjin, the City God Temple in Shanghai, the Longfu Temple in Beijing, the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, the Hefang Street in Hangzhou, the Shantang Street in Suzhou, the Chong'an Temple in Wuxi, and the Changji in Xinjiang. This street has a beautiful name called Furong Street. Like the streets in the above cities, it is a place full of all kinds of food... Durian pastry... Youxuan... All kinds of loving flavors... This is where Yutong went after making a comprehensive strategy... It's actually very simple to fall in love with this place

By Big Bad Wolf |

A good place for tourists to hang out and eat snacks

By Singha |

I tried the fried tripe which I had never tasted before in Beijing. It was not delicious and I would not recommend it.

By DMG Dog |

Every city has a lively snack street where there are more tourists than locals. Every time I go to a city, I will check in at such a snack street. Although they are all heavily commercialized, some snack streets retain their own characteristics, at least they can really allow foreign tourists to taste a lot of local specialties at one time; but in my eyes, some snack streets have no characteristics except for letting foreign tourists join in the fun, such as Jinan's Furong Street, where the entire street basically sells no Jinan snacks, but all Internet celebrity foods from all over the country or foreign countries. However, this is also relative. For locals, snack streets like Furong Street are more likely to satisfy locals who want to taste foreign food.

In any case, it's nice to experience the hustle and bustle of the crowd for yourself, and you can decide how long you want to wander around.

By Swirling Water |

Every tourist city has a distinctive food street. Jinan's Furong Street is also crowded with tourists. Amid the hustle and bustle, the various small shops are filled with constant shouting, making it very lively.

By Fu Waiting |

I advise everyone not to come here, Furong Street is a must-have food street in every place. I walked in for a while and then left quickly.

By ordinary |

After watching the fountain, it was already 18:00 in the evening and we felt hungry, so we went to Furong Street to taste the delicious snacks there.

By skyblue |

Furong Lane is located in the center of Jinan, south of Jinan Quancheng Road and close to Pearl Spring. There are various delicacies for tourists to taste.

By Andy.Bohu.Tang |

Furong Street is crowded with people, and the prices are not expensive. It's a very practical place.

By Pancakes |

There is no food to buy on Furong Street. It looks the same as in every city. There are few special features. Even if there are some special features, such as fried dough twist, I dare not buy them because I am afraid that they are expensive and not delicious. I just want to join in the fun.

There are indeed a lot of people, even though my cell phone has no network signal.

By i Cabbage |

11.3 This is my first memory of coming to Jinan with Jiajia eleven years ago. We have been here countless times since then. We always go to Qushuiting Street from here. The food there is really not good.

By Fly forward |

Like the food streets in other tourist cities across the country, Jinan's Furong Street has also been overrun by fried squid skewers, stinky tofu, and internet-famous milk tea and ice cream. There are so many tourists that you don't need to walk by yourself. The people behind you will push you. At night, the main entrance will limit the flow of people, and it will become a single entrance and a single exit. But in fact, you can also turn into Furong Street from other small intersections.

Furong Street is a tourist attraction where you will regret not visiting and will regret even more if you go.

By In that forest |

I won't talk about the things that everyone talks about, such as stinky tofu, roasted brain, roasted feet, etc. I recommend two. One is the rice noodle roll family and their sesame cakes, both are very authentic, No. 12 Furong Street, in the alley of the branch, opposite the Guokui Shop~~ The other is the Yuyu Xiannong Fish Soup Noodles No. 75 Furong Street~ Eat with hot sauce, and pudding ~ Xo sauce~~ These two are not the kind of taste that can be eaten everywhere~ Duck blood vermicelli is average, not as delicious as Jiangsu, even worse than the one at home~~ Tasteless! The drinks on the street feel OK, because the competition is so fierce (✪▽✪)

By A Hao can't get fat |

A snack street in the center of Jinan. There is nothing special about it. Snack streets across the country are similar, such as Confucius Temple in Nanjing, Fire Palace in Changsha, Pingjiang Road in Suzhou, and Tianzifang in Shanghai. It is ok to visit Jinan once.

By Look at the world |

It's OK. The lotus pastry is good and the grilled squid is delicious.

By Afternoon Summer Solstice |

If you walk straight along the north gate of Baotu Spring, you will reach the main entrance of Furong Street, a street of snacks. There are many snack shops with franchise stores all over the country. The prices are high. If you go there at mealtime, there are a lot of people. You have to keep an eye on your bags and mobile phones. I don't think it's necessary to go there if you want to find local characteristics. If you walk straight along Furong Street to the end, there will be fewer and fewer people. When you turn around at the end, you will reach Qushuiting Street, which is full of relatively small shops. You can walk back along Qushuiting Street. There are not many people.

By luckysongh |

Furong Street is a street of snacks in Jinan, where you can find all kinds of local snacks, snacks from other provinces, and snacks from home and abroad. Furong Street is to Jinan what Nanluoguxiang is to Beijing and Confucius Temple is to Nanjing.

By Flowers blooming on the road |

The style of Furong Street is a bit similar to Nanluoguxiang in Beijing, with small shops with unique decorations on both sides of the street!

By Xiao Tan's Travel Diary |

I'm not that impressed by Furong Street, because most of the people who go there are tourists. Of course, there are a wide variety of snacks there, including those from all over the country, but they are expensive and not very delicious. It's okay to go there just to join in the fun.

By Black Horse |

How can you not visit "Furong Street" when you come to Jinan? (⊙o⊙) The whole street is full of various snacks, bustling with people, and very lively. Take a walk and feel the customs of Jinan. It's just for the excitement.

By Xiaowu |

There are a lot of barbecues and a lot of people. I felt like I was dying of heat when I went there.

By wake |

Snack Street is not just one street, but several snack streets nearby. The place is easy to recognize. It is not far from Jinan Quancheng Square. You can fill your stomach here at night and walk to Quancheng Square to see the fountain.

By Veteran Cadre ICU No.7 |

It gathers snacks from all over the place and is very lively

The weather is too hot, I just want to find a place with air conditioning to have lunch

So, I ordered fried noodles at Huixianlou.

This amount is beyond imagination.

By Tonne |

Because I went there at night, and I just passed by during the day, it felt very ordinary, not very impressive, Kuanhouli is better

By My Sunshine |

I used to hear people say how good Furong Street is, but I thought my expectations were too high, so it was just average, nothing special. For someone like me who loves sweets, I have to say that this éclair is really delicious. I remember it was 15 for one, 20 for two. I bought one original flavor and one durian flavor. The durian flavor didn't have a strong taste, but they were both delicious. Then there is a small alley on the east side of Furong Street that is quite pretty. There are residents there, but from the outside, their homes are really not as good as those in the countryside, but the surrounding environment is pretty good.

By I really love you. |

It was raining when we went to Furong Street, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the people. It was probably like the snack streets in popular scenic spots around the country.

By Snow Pillow |

Furong Street gathers delicacies from all over the country. Maybe it’s because the weather is too hot, so I don’t have the desire to eat delicious food for the time being.

Let's go shopping first. There are Furong Spring and Guandi Temple in Furong Street.

At the end of Furong Street, there is a postcard shop where you can buy postcards and have them stamped. For postcard lovers, you can check in and take pictures as a souvenir.

By Ling Xia Midnight |

Time was too short to find some wild wontons, so I just squeezed in the crowd for an hour or so.

By Xiaomei |

Furong Street was still crowded at around 8pm. Can I say I bought fake Mixue Bingcheng? Red date milk for 4 yuan a cup. When I paid, they asked me to scan their QR code. Suddenly I felt something was wrong. The regular shops were all scanned by others. I looked up and saw that it was a fake store, and there was more than one store. I also saw the roasted gluten from my great Wuhan!!!

By Brother Tom |

Furong Street can be said to be a place where food is concentrated, but it feels less distinctive. Many snacks such as roasted pig's trotters, stinky tofu, old yogurt, etc. are similar to those in other places. If we talk about distinctive snacks, they should be fried dough twists, fried tripe, and... I really can't remember them at the moment.

Furong Street is really lively at night, even on a weekday. I read in the guide that it is crowded on holidays. The snacks are still the same as at noon, but the liveliness is several times higher than at noon.

By Chenjiazui Old Third |

Get into the crowd

Look at all kinds of shops

Smell strange smell

By puyi1973 |

A small snack street with many attractions to check in

By Mashishi |

Furong Street is an old commercial street in Jinan, named after the Furong Spring in the street. In the past, Furong Street was the most prosperous place in Jinan Prefecture, where merchants gathered and many wealthy families lived. Now Furong Street is famous for its snacks.

Entering the street, the alleys crisscrossing east and west are filled with snack stalls from all over the country, interspersed with some literary and fresh small shops. It is no different from the food streets in many places in China, and seems a bit monotonous. The snacks did not impress us.

By 😘Miss Zhao |

After walking around, there was really nothing worth looking forward to. Although it gathered snacks from all over the country, it really lacked distinctive features and was much inferior to Qingdao Pichaiyuan!

By Wang Ke |

I immediately thought of the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, which was also packed with people. So I walked along the alleys and kept walking. I saw a Guandi Temple in the downtown area. I went in to worship and continued walking. Along the way, there were small bridges, flowing water, people's homes, ancient houses, and stone roads. The criss-crossing paths were very beautiful.

By White |

Unfortunately, like most food streets in China, there are not many snacks and delicacies with local characteristics here, and they are basically the ones you are familiar with.

By Noisy and Silent |

There are so many people, really so many people.

Furong Street has been occupied by the trendy young people and young people in Jinan. I would seem old if I don’t come here.

By The Secret of the Eyes |

Furong Street is a snack street. Every city has such a snack street. Wangfujing in Beijing, Pichaiyuan in Qingdao, etc.

Duck intestines, 10 yuan for a bunch, 30 strings, tastes good, many shops sell them on the street

By Harvey |

Furong Street is a snack street. Visit here.

It feels like all the snack streets are the same, with stinky tofu, fried tripe, barbecue and all kinds of milk tea. I think it's meaningless to come here from afar and eat the food that can be found in every snack street in the country.

By Qingshui Tingyin |

We had breakfast at a simple breakfast shop on Furong Street. The three of us spent less than 10 yuan and had a full and warm meal. Furong Street, named as a historical and cultural district, is full of intimacy, making me feel like I'm back in my childhood. The bungalows, neighbors, barbershops, fruit stalls... Walking around the street, I was always surrounded by a warm atmosphere of life.

By Restless fat man |

It is similar to the food streets in many cities. There is nothing special. It is crowded and crowded. However, the attitudes of the shop owners are very friendly.

By Mooo0 |

The whole street is full of snacks such as Changsha stinky tofu.

By White Ice |

Arriving at Furong Street, it doesn't look fancy, but rather down to earth. It's a deep alley with no branches. You can walk to the end of the street, and there are all kinds of snack shops on both sides. There are also many people, and the atmosphere is quite good. What are you waiting for? Here are the pictures.

I ate from beginning to end. When I almost reached the end of the alley, it started to drizzle. I was full and lost interest. I walked and stopped to look around. Before I knew it, I was at the entrance again.

By Soft fat guy |

The food in Huixianlou is not tasty at all, too salty, the Jiuzhuan pig intestines taste OK, but the tableware is a bit expensive at 2 yuan per set, which is a bit disappointing! Not as good as expected!

By Luffy |

When I came to Furong Street, I found that there were many tourists, all of them were young people. It felt similar to Wangfujing Snack Street. But it felt more hygienic and full of literary style.

Furong Street is a street of snacks. I tried the durian pastry and durian cake recommended by my boyfriend. They were pretty good. Who can blame me for loving desserts so much?

By The Thorn Birds |

There is a noodle restaurant on Furong Street. There is a well in the restaurant. The food cooked with the spring water is delicious. After I finished eating the noodles, I asked the proprietress for a bowl of noodle soup.

Drinking the bowl-breaking wine will bring you peace every year.

By Li Xueyan |

There is a food street, and I tried several restaurants but the food was not very good. But I stopped for a long time to look at the statue at the door.

By Seashore Shell |

It's not a long alley, but the traffic is slow because of the crowds. Both sides of the street are almost all snacks, which are quite homogeneous and not very distinctive, but as a famous snack street, it's worth a visit.

By Flowers blooming white |

I came here once many years ago, but it was a quick visit. Today I revisited the place again... Although I had a big meal before I went there, I bought a lot of food and drinks along the way... I couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food!

By Walking Dora Guan Guan |

Furong Street is home to famous snacks from all over the country, such as Baodu Zhang, Guozu Stinky Tofu, Shanghai Fried Dumplings, etc. There are also many unique shops and coffee houses. Picture 1 below is a classic car model from one of the shops.

By Bull, bull, bull. |

It's OK. I think the snack streets in every city are similar. They sell nothing local. You can go shopping. Buy some big pancakes. Go inside Furong Street. There are some small alleys. It's quite literary. Zui Deyi's food is not bad. Cheap and delicious

By Big orange 🍊 |

Compared with the old food streets in other cities, the advantage of Furong Street is that it is more orderly.

By Q |

On the Qingming Festival, there were too many people and they started to limit the flow of people. There was nothing special to eat, but the popularity was very high. It was really like following the heels of the person in front of you.

By Forget more |

Wangfujing in Jinan, Kuanzhai Alley in the City of Springs, a place for food and leisure.

By Sunflowers blooming in summer |

An ancient street similar to Nanluoguxiang, with local specialties.

By Liu Xuantang |

There are too many people, and it's just a snack street. You can take a look but don't hold too high hopes. There are more people with good food and nice people...

By Supreme Toilet |

I went there late at night. It was completely different from the deserted Starbucks across the street. The Chinese snack bar was indeed crowded.

By -Boomshakalaka🐝 |

There were so many people and a lot of food, but I personally felt the taste was not that good.

By Zhe Xiao Liuliu |

The standard configuration of the commercial street: milk tea + soup dumplings + barbecue + Yunnan specialty stores. It doesn't matter whether you go or not, it's just a by-product.

By ErebusོGet up early |

Very popular, the world of young people ~ couples' main place ~ singles please take a detour ~

By Yi ShiyuCiCi |

Furong Street can be regarded as the business card of Jinan and a place to check in. No matter it is good or not, I think Furong Street is still worth visiting.

There are some more distinctive postcards there. I have bought many postcards, but the ones from Jinan still amazed me.

I think the roasted chicken feet and roasted pig's trotters are good. The fried dough sticks are also delicious. They are salty.

By Super fast and efficient |

Opposite the main entrance of Daming Lake, there is a small street. Go a little further in and turn right to reach Qushuiting Street. You will reach Furong Street, which is also a good snack street. Turn left at the end and walk back to the main entrance of Daming Lake.

By Haihe River |

The snack street is very lively, but it feels monotonous and is prepared for outsiders.

By Dujiajiyi |

Typical of a messy and dirty place! And it's not tasty! A bit expensive and crowded! I bought a tornado potato, but it was so hard! I couldn't eat it at all
