The core block of Qiaogang Town, formed in 1979 to resettle overseas Chinese returned from Vietnam, now Beihai's late-night food capital. Sweet-soup shops, stir-fried ice, Vietnamese rice rolls and crab-roe noodle eateries are densely packed, and crowds flood in after dusk. Qiaogang is one of China's largest resettlement towns for overseas Chinese returned from Vietnam; the returnees brought Vietnamese-style food and living customs that merged with the local fishing-port culture. The pre-dawn fish market at Qiaogang fishing wharf is another highlight, and the Vietnamese-French street snacks have made it a taste landmark for foreign visitors.
Getting there: Bus, Qiaogang stop
