The aroma of stinky tofu and sugar-coated rice cakes wafts all the way, making people unable to help but eat while walking. 🍱Food recommendations When you come to May Day Square, you must try all the specialties of Changsha. Wenheyou’s Old Changsha stinky tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you take a bite, the rich marinade bursts in your mouth. The classic black stinky tofu also has a unique flavor, and when paired with a special sauce, you can’t stop eating it. There is also Cha Yan Yue Se, a local milk tea brand in Changsha. Their signature drinks such as Youlan Latte and Sheng Sheng Oolong are must-try. The aroma of tea and milk is perfectly blended, and the cream on top is sprinkled with chopped pecans, which is sweet and not greasy. ⏰Opening hours Shopping malls usually open around 10 a.m. and close between 10 and 11 p.m.; the snack street has much more flexible business hours, with many snack stalls open from noon until the early hours of the morning. It is even more lively at night, with bright lights and a lot of activity. ❗Notes There are a lot of people on weekends and holidays, so please take care of your personal belongings and avoid crowding and trampling. When eating at the snack street, pay attention to food hygiene. Don't be impatient when queuing to buy delicious food. Only by waiting patiently can you enjoy the delicious food. The last time I went to May Day Square, I walked around from day to night, my hands were so tired from carrying shopping bags, and my stomach was filled to the brim with delicious food. It’s really full of vitality here. The enthusiasm of Changsha people and the atmosphere of this city are fully reflected in May Day Square. I strongly recommend everyone to come and experience it!
