Restaurants in Húběi

  1. Night Markets

    Night markets spring up east and west of the Jianghan Lu pedestrian zone in Hànkǒu, along Minsheng Lu and on Jiqing Jie (吉庆街), and along Dazhi Lu as it meets Zhongshan Dadao. A boisterous swell of bright, busy dàpáidàng (大排档), Jiqing Jie is pungent with the aromas of barbecued live oysters (shāokǎo shēngháo; 烧烤生蚝, spicy crab hot pot (xiānglàxiè huǒguō; 香辣蟹火锅, river snails (fúshòuluó; 福寿螺, prawn hotpot (dàxiā huǒguō and - at the less appealing end of the spectrum - cow hooves, duck feet, duck hearts and other miscellanea.

  2. Máojiāwān

    Elderly Chinese will be horrified, but Wǔhàn's white-collar diners and lǎowài (foreigners) have few qualms being served by corpulent Red Guards scampering to and fro with peppery platters from Mao's home province of Húnán. The overall concept may be in bad taste, but the Máoshì Hóngshāoròu (毛氏红烧肉) - a tender pile of plump pork chunks - is succulent, the rice arrives by the steaming bucket load and it's undeniably fun. No English sign.

  8. Crown Bakery

    Fabulously located in an old cruciform church (built in 1907) with its original wood ceiling intact (and loads of portraits of Jesus), come here for ambience, take a seat in the apse to break bread and order egg tarts (Y1), tea (Y3.50) or loads of cakes.
