British couple TAKE ON Chongqing's food scene. A rainy night in the Cyberpunk capital of China, Jack and Paige head out on a foodies dream, trying some of the best street food Chongqing has to offer. We start tame with some deep fried mushrooms coated in a spicy seasoning, followed by some of the best grilled pork we have ever eaten. The pork doesn't stop there though as we go on to taste the CRISPIEST pork of our lives, almost too good to share. Next up, the world famous DAN DAN noodles, before heading to some of Chongqing's most famous sites. We head to the famous ground floor platform that isn't on the ground, but the 30th floor. We go to get a view of the Hongya Cave from the real ground floor, try the famous Strawberry Tanghulu and climb our way through the cave before ending the video.

Please do not try to stand to Xinjiang, it will be very tiring. If you have to, you can bring a portable bench and sit when there are empty seats on the train or sit in the dining car.

[@nihaocv7fw]

The best option is to contact the train crew on board to upgrade to a sleeper berth, which will give you the best traditional train travel experience

新疆最应该玩的是自然风景，例如可可托海，帕米尔高原，轮台胡杨林，罗布人村寨，天山天池。你们只是单纯去吃美食的话有点太远了，新疆拉条子，肚包肉，缸子肉，羊肉串，大盘鸡，手抓饭都不错。新疆的羊肉非常不错。对你们外国人来说想再中国找美食太困难，就像同样的食物每个人做出来是不同的，你们只能靠运气。

[@kerwinbigking]

The DanDan noodles in Chongqing are not actually that spicy, they are more fragrant. The truly spicy food is the hot pot. Moreover, if you want to taste more authentic and delicious food, you should ask the locals. Generally speaking, the food at scenic spots is not particularly delicious, but it's fine to try it once. By the way, Chongqing's small noodles are quite famous. You should look for small noodles in some local streets and you can ask the locals for directions.

Paper made of rice. Called rice paper. My female friend tried very hard to peel off the rice paper off the big white bunny candy, and I LMHO.

[@horaceleung8646]

1) Chongqing was a city in Sichuan Province before 1997, and was designated as a municipality directly under the central government after 1997. 2) The advertisement for the crying girl actually means it's delicious enough to cry. 3) The pork used for barbecue is a variety called "Tibetan fragrant pig", the taste will be better than ordinary one. 4) Hongya Cave is actually a private property that was created by an entrepreneur into its current form. 5) The rice paper wrapped around the strawberry Tomatoes on sticks is edible.

[@user-do7bq8fs8e]

[@lovefromhuang]

5)) The fruit stick name is "Tanghulu", the orignal version is not strawberry but hawthron which everyone should try first because it is maybe only in China

The 7:25 crying girl comes from a 2023 China television series , "The Hidden Love" Actually, this girl has a conflict with her boyfriend, and is crying in the airport. Her elder brother lined up 30 minutes to buy this food for her. This drama is famous in China, and the store owner use this picture to show the food they are selling is the same to the drama. BTW, this food is fried duck with mashed taro filling, a local snack in Xiamen and the neighbouring cities. The mashed taro is sweet and add unique flavor to the fried food. Have a good day in China!

33:05 It's probably glutinous rice paper. They just melt in your mouth and then you can taste the real food soon after. Many sticky desserts are covered by these in Asian cuisine, but it's the first time I see people cover tanghulu with them. It's actually pretty clever.

[@tristanx3508]

thin rice paper prevent sticky sweet sugar syrup from messiness and also prevent dirt from landing.

[@demonmcj4224]

And we locals bite the sugar gourd directly on the glutinous rice paper, instead of tearing off the glutinous rice paper and eating it alone. That's why the seller felt fun and laughed .

那个草莓甜品叫“冰糖葫芦”是北京最出名的小吃！山楂是最原始的经典口味，外面的糯米纸连着冰糖葫芦一起吃，不用撕开，脆脆的冰糖外壳是糖经过高温融化后冷却的口感，下次推荐尝一下经典山楂，又甜又酸超级好吃！

[@Jadecatcafe]

at 1:43 , look the red umbrella at the Bun shop. I just realize it is the local shop I ordered their mushroom pork buns delivered to the hotel when I visited Chongqing. Absolutely good and unique flavor, only in Chongqing. I loved it and could not find anywhere else.

[@ybhcch]

33:03 The outer layer is glutinous rice paper, which is edible and can prevent the sugar on the candied haws from getting on your clothes.

[@user-vs9lf2gt9k]

Haha, the number of friends who like mushrooms has increased. I highly recommend that you go to Yunnan, China from June to September. With its unique geographical climate and almost all the mushrooms, it is very fresh and delicious, and there is also an unforgettable mushroom hot pot.

[@user-jl2td6ji6m]

I suggest that after you get on the train, you find a staff member to make up for the ticket. Tell them that I need to make up for a berth, and when you have a seat, you can get one. Both a regular berth and a deluxe berth will be much better, and you can ask the staff member to queue up to make up for the berth.

[@POPROB-bx4li]

[@user-zn8mt4pn5f]

Hello, jack, I suggest that you'd better not go to Xinjiang by train. I took a train to Xinjiang about six years ago, and it was a painful memory. And you still don't have a seat. It's going to be a tough trip. Stir-fried strips and mutton skewers are the most recommended in Xinjiang. I highly recommend you to go to Guilin, Guangxi, which has amazing natural scenery. I hope you have a good trip.

You are going to Xinjiang, it's really a boost for your courage. Regular trains take more than 30 hours and you still don't have tickets. However, after getting on the train, you can try to find a train attendant to make up for sleeper tickets. Usually, after boarding the train, one can get a sleeper ticket for a period of time. Xinjiang is worth a visit, with many delicious foods and different customs and traditions
