When you go to Changsha, how can you not visit the landmark night market overnight? Changsha's nightlife and supper culture is really super unique. Whether you are a local or a traveler, you must have visited the night market to know "authentic Changsha". The food is mainly heavy and high-carb, lamb skewers, stinky tofu, fried powder, sugar and oil dumplings... I want to try everything. As soon as I step into the night market, I am surrounded by aroma. Every street is like a food corridor, a true portrayal of "eat in Changsha, night in Changsha"
🌃 Attraction Recommendation: Changsha Night Market Shopping Guide
1. May Day Square Night Market
As one of the most popular night markets, the location is central and convenient transportation. The whole street is bustling with activity at night. Snack stalls are lined up. Spicy lobster and grilled lamb skewers must be tried. Stinky tofu shops are basically one after another. I recommend the old-fashioned "Fire Palace Stinky Tofu", which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and is heavy and delicious.
Address: Near May Day Square, Hibiscus District
Opening hours: 17:00 ~ 1:00 am daily
2. Jiefang West Road Food Street
Here you can feel the fusion of night market and bar skewer culture, the streets and alleys are full of food, the nightlife rhythm is super strong. Try the signature sugar and oil dumplings, sweet and melt-in-your-mouth; there are also stir-fried flour, flavored shrimp, which can be served with a glass of local beer, comforting!
Address: Liberation West Road, Tianxin District
Opening hours: Most stalls start at 18:00, bars open until 2:00am
3. South Gate Night Market
The Nanmenmen Night Market is more literary and artistic, with many celebrity snacks, creative desserts and souvenir shops, and the environment is refreshing and suitable for walking. The lobster, mussel powder and various screw powder here are worth a try.
