青青岛-A popular check-in spot. Don't come here to join in the fun during the New Year and other holidays. I came here at 8 o'clock on Saturday and queued for about 10 minutes. An auntie actually came out and told the last person not to queue up because there were no noodles. This place opens early, and basically closes and clears the stalls before 9:30. If the ingredients are sold out, they will close early. There are not so many people on weekdays, and the speed is fast, but on weekends, they come from far away and buy a large amount at a time, so the queue is slow and the end is fast. There are several small tables in the yard, with soy milk and sweet foam. This is a combination of two families. It is recommended that everyone solve it on the spot. After all, it tastes better when it is just fried. The auntie is more enthusiastic. She reminds in advance that those who are queuing behind may not be able to buy it. Those who bought too much in front are also reminded to buy enough to eat and share some with the ones behind. Finally, I have to say that I queued for an hour today! ! ! !

It used to be sold at the north entrance of Ancha Street. You couldn't eat it after 8 o'clock. Now it's good and it's available at 9 o'clock. The sugar-coated pancakes are really delicious. You can eat them hot or cold. They are crispy and sweet. You can buy more to take home. The egg buns are also very popular. They are hot when they are just out of the pot. You have to be patient to eat them. The method of this Tianmo is probably to stir-fry the ingredients and put them into the cooked porridge base, so you will "drain" when you drink it. I still prefer to cook it directly. The chef of Yanjuyuan makes the pancakes. I think they are delicious.
Jinan!! So many people get up early just for this… Finally got to eat Sun's Sugar-coated Fried Dough Sticks!! A local's secret breakfast spot! 🏆 🍯The sugar-coated fried dough sticks are the best!! 3 yuan each. The crispy surface has a layer of sugar but isn't cloyingly sweet. Crispy and sweet, paired with sweet bean curd, a truly comforting breakfast combination ✨ This is truly the best sugar-coated fried dough stick I've ever had! A must-try! 🍳The egg buns are amazing too! 4 yuan each. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, one bite and the runny yolk melts in your mouth 💛 The aroma is irresistible, it's simply blissful~ I can't stop eating them! Friendly Reminder: 1. Remember to bring cash. 2. It tastes even better dipped in sweet syrup. 3. Invite your friends so you can try several different dishes! Many locals have been eating here for over ten years. After your meal, stroll through the old streets and alleys to experience the vibrant atmosphere of old Jinan. 🌇 #JinanFood #MustTryBreakfast #OldCityFoodCheckIn #AffordableLocalSnacks #CandyCeiling

A bit pricey at 80 yuan per person, but the experience is truly worth it. ⚠ Pitfall Avoidance Guide Transportation: It's recommended to cycle from Baotu Spring to Heihu Spring (15 minutes along the moat greenway). Taking a taxi can lead to traffic jams. Spring Water: Drink directly from Heihu Spring and Pipa Spring; the water quality at other springs is unstable.

Light colors are recommended for a more striking photo. ✨ The gentleness of Jinan is the tinkling sound of an old man drawing water from the Black Tiger Spring, the ripples of willow branches brushing against teacups on Qushuiting Street, and the satisfying feeling of consuming a refreshing drink of spring water in the summer.
