Don't come to Nanning without visiting this pulsating night market that buzzes along Zhongshan Lu each evening. It gets absolutely jam-packed, so it's not one for claustrophobes, and features endless rows of stalls cooking up skewers of all descriptions, from grilled meats and seafood to spiders and scorpions.
You'll find street food from most of the provinces, along with southern specialities such as grilled oysters, roasted pigeon, chòu dòufu (臭豆腐, stinky tofu) and noodles of all persuasions. There are also restaurants (dishes from ¥25) if you want a proper sit-down meal with drinks.
