This video features six rural markets in Jinan, Qingdao, Linyi, and Rizhao, Shandong Province, China—six favorite spots for locals. The prices here are incredibly low, and the atmosphere is vibrant and lively. Not only are there a wide variety of agricultural products, but also a diverse array of street food that will whet your appetite.

The video is over 300 minutes long and documents more than 100 kinds of popular Chinese street food, each one incredibly tempting. Shandong people love meat; a pot of braised meat weighing nearly 100 kilograms can sell out in a morning. Braised pig's head, braised pig's knuckle, and braised pig's intestines, with their reddish-brown color, are mouthwatering. Sweet millet porridge is a Jinan specialty, made using traditional methods that evoke childhood memories. Xi'an's steamed rice cake is soft, chewy, and delicious, while beef pancakes are affordable and filling. Tianjin's crispy fried cakes and fried dough sticks are local favorites. A strong Shandong man eats a 4-kilogram "zhuangmo" (a type of steamed bun), with a thin crust, generous filling, and dripping oil. Scallion pancakes with savory sauce, handmade cold noodles, durian-flavored twisted dough sticks, Shandong-style oven-baked flatbread, and pressed pancakes—a variety of street food will whet your appetite; this is a foodie's paradise.
