Huangdao Market

In the heart of Old Town, this long-standing, often frenetic street market is chock-a-block with vendors selling everything from squirming seafood, fried chicken and pancakes to fruit and soy milk. It’s all cheap, so just stop when something catches your fancy. Come evening, sit-down curbside joints (look for a ‘加功' – jiā gōng – sign) will prepare whatever seafood you bring them for ¥5.
