🍽️Gaojiazhuang Seafood Restaurant (Donggang Branch) 💰️177 yuan/person 💗Compared to seafood restaurants in food stalls, this is a proper banquet-style restaurant. Besides seafood, they offer a variety of dishes, making it suitable for those who can't eat seafood. The seafood is fresh, and several of the dishes we ordered were delicious. The ambiance is far superior to street food stalls, and the prices are similar to those at more famous ones, but the dining experience is worlds apart. If you're not looking for a night market experience but prefer a more relaxed dining experience, this restaurant is highly recommended! 🍽️Jianmin Bakery 💰️36 yuan/person 💗It's located in a lively wet market, but navigation can be difficult to pinpoint. However, asking around, people will tell you where to go. We've basically bought all the recommended specialties, all by the pound, and they're quite delicious. 🍽️Little Bee Noodle House 💰️51 yuan/person 💗The shop isn't big, with about ten tables upstairs and downstairs. It's clean and tidy. On the left, as you enter, you'll find a wide variety of small seafood items, all looking fresh. This is my first time seeing a seafood noodle shop like this, but it's quite unique. If you're passing through Donggang in Zhoushan, you should definitely stop by and try their specialties, which perfectly suits Zhoushan's coastal island status. 🍽️Traditional Shengjian (Fried Pork Buns) 💰️9 yuan/person 💗There's no address, but it's easy to find. The sizzling sound is immediately apparent upon entering. The fried dumplings are crispy and golden on both sides, and bursting with juice. So be careful when eating them. If you're a fan of fried dumplings, don't miss this place! 🍽️Yuanjin Snack Shop 💰️5 yuan/person 💗This is a long-standing shop that's always been very popular. Their lard and scallion pancakes are truly the best. The freshly baked pancakes are bursting with lard and are incredibly fragrant. They usually open after 2 PM, peaking around 4 PM, with even more people on weekends. 🍽️ Chen Minjun's authentic alum-free fried dough sticks 💰️ 10 yuan/person 💗 The rice balls are filled with steaming hot fried dough sticks and shredded preserved mustard greens, which the owner stir-fries freshly, for a truly authentic flavor. The lady who wraps the rice balls is incredibly skilled, and even at 8:30 PM on weekdays, well after the morning rush hour, business is still brisk. #Summer Resort for June-August
