🍜 Food Recommendations:
- Santing Road Night Market: Aromatic snacks and a wide variety of small commodities, a feast for taste buds and shopping.
- Beyti Restaurant: Authentic Turkish restaurant, highly recommended. Remember to book in advance as it gets very crowded.
- Quyuanweizhuang: Delicious Quzhou cuisine that will make you scream with delight. Previously, we always ate at Jimao Huan Tang in Yiwu, but this time we tried a new place, and everyone praised my choice!
- Ariana Restaurant: Another exotic restaurant. If Beyti is too crowded, Ariana is also a great choice. Their pizza and lamb pilaf are highly recommended.
- Xiyangyang Live Shrimp Restaurant: A delicious 'fly restaurant' that will make you scream with delight. Highly recommend the pepper shrimp, salt-baked shrimp, snails, sour radish fried beef, and ginger fried meat. The sour and spicy shrimp is not highly recommended.
🏨 Accommodation Options: Recommended hotels are Yiwu Yindu Huayue Hotel and Yiwu International Trade City Mercure Hotel. Huayue Hotel is in a bustling area with many food options nearby and a rich breakfast. Mercure Hotel is newly opened with a fresher environment and better service.
