More food adventures from our recent trip to the Chaoshan area! The first night of our trip we arrived in Shantou 汕頭*. Due to a typhoon affecting the area our speed rail trip was longer than expected. Arriving, we were tired and hangry as heck! Luckily we spotted the most gorgeous sight a hungry traveler can see, the gleam of food trucks serving up local street food lighting up the night!
It was pretty late and the city streets were quiet. But the crossroads where we spotted parked food trucks was bustling with action. Most late night food seekers zipped over on scooters while a few drove cars. We joined in the fun, circling the trucks, sniffing the air, checking out all the food on offer. Oh man, everything smelled and looked so good! In no time at all we were on our way back to the hotel, loaded down with yummilicious bags of Shantou street food!!
*Note: The Chaoshan area 潮汕 is located in the province of Guangdong. Chaoshan area consists of the cities of Chaozhou 潮州, Jieyang 揭阳 and Shantou 汕頭. For this trip we went first to Shantou and then to Chaozhou.
