Qingdao’s kebabs are legendary and these are among the best, so give them your palate's undivided attention. Join the throng outside this street-side stand gorging on lamb (羊肉, yángròu; ¥4), cuttlefish (鱿鱼, yóuyú, ¥8) and chicken hearts (鸡心, jīxīn; ¥3.5), and toss your spent skewers in the bucket. There’s a sit-down restaurant around the corner.
