Many people on the way to travel do not want to be a hands-on tourists, but want to integrate into the city, according to my years of travel experience, you can try to see the following aspects Yo.
Local people's restaurants: eat the most authentic local food
Every city has a high profile restaurant for tourists, where local food is centralized in this one restaurant, so you don't have to run around and have it all in the same home. There is also a kind of local people run restaurants, some are mostly a family for many years only operate a series of dishes, such as the old Beijing's popping belly Feng, these locals often go to the pavilion is mostly a small store, hidden in the streets and alleys in the end of the street, but carefully flipped through the travel guide, it is not difficult to find these small pavilions. My favorite is the kind of locally run fly tavern, in the atmosphere of the local accent cacophony, on the local beer or soda, eating local specialties. The above mentioned restaurants do not only refer to restaurants, but also include teahouses, which are indispensable to the life of Sichuanese people, where people can spend an afternoon sitting paralyzed in their chairs and talking about their families. Another example is the Tianjin comedy hall, Tianjin dialect to listen to jokes, these are zero contact with the locals, to experience the local flavor of the place.
Fruit and Vegetable Markets: An Entrance to Local Specialties
Vegetable and fruit markets are places to have zero contact with the locals. In the vegetable market you can see the local specialties of the vegetables, I have a friend, go out and travel must bring pot, to a place to the market to buy vegetables, take back to the hotel after their own to do, so that there is a benefit, you can eat local specialties, the other is a long trip after stomach fatigue, you can do something home dishes. When I go out to travel, I like to visit the local fruit market, from the fruit market can see the economic geography of the place, such as the desert planted out of the fruit is extraordinarily sweet; Shaanxi fire crystal persimmons compact, there is no bitter tongue; southern sugar cane is very tasty, especially in Hunan, a number of cities all over the sale of sugar cane; Hainan's coconut coconut juice is full of rich, don't be too awesome, and so on. Both vegetables and fruits are hard to buy on Taobao, only available locally.
Parks and square dances: the best way to see the essence of the locals
Compared to museums and representative attractions, the parks in free cities are usually not a tourist attraction, and the positioning of such parks is to give the locals a place to relax, so Few tourists will take this place as an attraction. Free city parks are places where middle-aged and elderly people gather for recreation, and they are staged every morning and evening in turn, with people practicing in the morning, chatting in the park in the afternoon, or singing songs, and ushering in the square dancers at night, which are the most popular places to see the locals' spirit. Travel to the south, especially do not miss this kind of city park, the park has a lot of folk artists to this here to practice.
