Street Food Cities

Some cities are worth a special trip — just for the food, and for that smoky, lively energy of the streets. Here you'll find iconic local snacks that locals eat from dawn to midnight, time honored eateries with clearly marked prices — the kind you can walk into blindly and never go wrong — and don't miss the last bowl before the night market wraps up. In these cities, experience Chinese food the way it's meant to be enjoyed.
