Jinan's most famous snack street, named after Furong Spring, which is set beneath a residential wall at the street's midpoint. Youxuan (swirled fried pastry), stinky tofu, grilled gluten skewers, and snacks from all over China mix together, with crowds flowing nonstop from morning to night. In the Ming and Qing dynasties it was the commercial street around the Confucian Temple of the prefecture city, adjacent to the Guandi Temple, and once a dining spot for scholars and literati. Together with Qushuiting Street—one lively, one tranquil—it forms the Ming Prefecture City touring route, a model old street where tourists and locals share a single spring.
Getting there: Bus, Furong Street stop
