A Dante’s Inferno of flaming woks and grills, the night market is made up of countless stalls in alleys running left off Xinglong Nanjie (which is lined with Chinese-style bars). Among the tonnes of cheap eats, two favourites to check out are ròujiāmó (肉夹馍, pork or beef stuffed in bread) and shāguō (砂锅, mini hotpot), as well as the ever-present pulled noodles (拉面, lāmiàn).
