After the hit of "Go North", Huai'an "Flower Street" where the story takes place became popular all of a sudden, and it is crowded with tourists who come to check in every day. The restaurants and snack bars of all sizes on Flower Street are also crowded with diners, but the most popular one is the "Internet celebrity" Puyuan Tangshui, which is often hard to find a seat inside and outside the store. The store is very distinctive and is loved by young people. To order, you have to find a good seat first. The menu is made in the shape of a vertical axis, which is very creative.
Who understands?! After finishing watching "Northbound," I immediately rushed to Hua'an Flower Street. The cobblestone streets hold 600 years of canal transport history, and the street food smelled so good I couldn't resist. This trip was absolutely worth it! 😭 🍜 Must-Try Food List (in order of priority) 1. Soft-shelled Eel Noodles: The heartthrob breakfast of Hua'an! Stir-fried eel is placed on alkaline noodles; the aroma wafts across half the street the moment it's mixed. So fresh it'll make your eyebrows fall off – this is the ultimate romance of carbs. 2. Wenlou Soup Dumplings: Served like little lanterns, the skin is so thin you can see the soup sloshing around. Take a small bite to sip the soup before eating the meat; it's so fresh you'll want to stomp your feet! Be careful, it's hot, but you just can't stop eating it. 3. Street Fried Radish Dumplings: Auntie's freshly fried radish dumplings, the outer skin is so crispy it crumbles, the filling is juicy and tender. Two for 5 yuan – such great value it'll make you cry. 4. Puyuan Sweet Soup: After a long day of shopping, pop into this little shop for a bowl of traditional sweet soup. Enjoy it with old photos on the wall, and you'll instantly feel transported back to old Qingjiangpu. The tiger-skin chicken feet are especially delicious. 5. Yuejia Tea Fried Dough Sticks: Golden and crispy, piled high like a small mountain. They're crunchy on their own, but even better when soaked in soup. Pack them as a souvenir, and your elders will surely praise them. 📸 Photo Spots - North Entrance of Huajie Street: The cobblestone streets and antique architecture make for stunning retro photos. - Liyun Riverbank: Best time to visit is 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Enjoy the shimmering light and shadow on the Guoshi Pagoda and the pleasant evening breeze. - Huajie Mini Bookstore: The creative cultural products on the wooden shelves are beautifully designed. Xu Zechen's novels are neatly arranged, exuding an artistic vibe. - Intangible Cultural Heritage Sugar Painting Stall: The master craftsman's handmade sugar threads dance gracefully, creating a perfect atmosphere for videos. ✨ Shopping Tips 1. We recommend going after 3 PM. Enjoy the snacks first, then browse the shops. A stroll along the canal in the evening is incredibly pleasant. 2. For souvenirs, choose the tea snacks or the cultural and creative products at Weishuju. They're unique and won't disappoint. 3. The "five yuan in Huajie, twenty yuan in Huai'an" meme from TV dramas really comes to mind here! Huajie isn't long, but every step is a surprise. It offers both traditional flavors loved by Emperor Qianlong and trendy new Chinese-style shops popular with young people. Don't just know Huaiyang cuisine when you come to Huai'an; this old street along the canal is the real treasure! #Huai'anTourism #FilmingLocationOf"Northward #HuajieGuide #CanalFood #WeekendGetaway

Who knows! I was drawn to Huai'an by the CCTV drama "Go North," thinking I'd just follow the trend and check in, but in the 130-meter-long alleys of Flower Street, I found myself experiencing a "slow life" that became a real-life comfort drama. 🌿 This place hides 650 years of canal stories, and the food, drinks, and photo opportunities are all amazing. Here's a nanny-level guide to avoid disappointment! 📍First, let's understand: What makes Flower Street so amazing? Don't mistake it for just another old street! During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this was the canal's "CBD." Ships traveling north and south would restock here. Even the velvet flowers worn by the imperial concubines were tributes selected from here. 🇨🇳 The old houses today are still small wooden structures from the Ming and Qing dynasties, with black tiles, white walls, and horse-head cladding. Wooden doors open to reveal shops, and you'll see traces of history every few steps. Even Mao Dun Literature Prize winners have considered this place their spiritual home. The atmosphere is simply amazing! 🍜A must-try for foodies! A carb-heavy list Don't think about losing weight when you come to Huajie; even Emperor Qianlong feasted here! ✅ Wenlou Soup Dumplings: The freshly-served dumplings resemble little lanterns, their skin so thin you can see the broth swaying. Be sure to take a small bite and sip the broth! They're so delicious you'll want to stamp your feet. Be careful not to burn your mouth, but you can't stop eating them. Locals rely on them for breakfast. ✅ Soft-crusted Long Fish Noodles: A staple of Huai'an's breakfast! The long fish is meticulously prepared, stir-fried, and then layered on alkaline noodles. The aroma spreads across the street when mixed, and the noodles are so delicious you'll drop your eyebrows. This is the ultimate carb romance! ✅ Yuejia Tea San: The golden, crispy tea san rolls into a small mountain. Eaten straight from the simmer, they're incredibly crunchy, and even better when dipped in the broth to soak up the broth. Pack up two boxes as a souvenir—everyone will praise you for buying them! ✅ Puyuan Tangshui: After a stroll, pop into this little shop and order a bowl of traditional sweet soup. Paired with the vintage photos on the wall, you'll instantly be transported back to the days of Qingjiangpu. The sweetness is just right, not too overpowering. ✅ Street Fried Noodles: The auntie fries the shredded radish fried noodles. The crust is so crispy, the filling is so tender, and for 5 yuan, two are incredibly affordable! 😭 📸Photography is a must! Unlock all the photo spots! Flower Street is brimming with camera angles, so even the most clumsy photographer can capture artistic masterpieces—and there's no need to crowd! 1. Lantern Wall at the Street Entrance: Breathtakingly beautiful when it lights up in the evening! Rows of red lanterns hang against the bluestone pavement, and even a few snapshots from a stroll give you a "Northbound" vibe. 2. Flower Street Post Office: The adorable corgi owner will captivate you upon entering! For 5 yuan, buy a canal-themed postcard, get a commemorative stamp, and send it to a friend—a truly ceremonial experience! ✨ The old mailbox at the post office is also a great place to take photos. 3. "Huai'an" Stained Window: A hidden gem diagonally across from the post office! The maple leaf decor and oil painting backdrop make it a 100 times more sophisticated than those Instagram-famous check-in cards, perfectly capturing the retro vibe. 4. Old Canal Wharf: Walk from the end of the street to the canal, step on the old stone steps, and watch the water gently flow. The shadows of the National Master Tower in the distance are reflected on the water, instantly embodying the essence of the "Canal Capital." 💡 Outfit Tips: Hanfu, cheongsam, or other modern Chinese-style clothing are incredibly stylish. Pair them with white sneakers for a stress-free look. Light-colored clothing looks even better against red walls and black tiles! ⚠️Avoiding Pitfalls! Locals' Secret Advice Be warned! Avoid these pitfalls, or your fun will be halved! ❌ Don't come on weekend afternoons! The crowds are as intense as a morning market. If you want to take photos of the scenery, I recommend coming around 9 a.m. or on a weekday evening for quiet and photogenic moments. ❌ Be careful buying the internet-famous bamboo tube milk tea! It's just a photo prop, tastes average, and is expensive. If you really want to take a photo, ask the table next to you if you can borrow it (shhhh). ❌ Don't force your way through the alley! The alley is so narrow it can cause traffic jams. I recommend parking in a nearby parking lot and walking; it's only a few minutes away. ✅ For sensitive stomachs, bring medication! Street food is so tempting that you can easily overeat, so bring medication just in case. 🕒 Slow Travel Route! Live your life like poetry Morning (9:00-12:00): Stroll leisurely through the old street, enjoy a bowl of long fish noodles to fill your stomach, take photos of the lantern wall and flower windows while the crowds are low, and mail a postcard from the post office. Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Browse handmade shops for creative products, stop by Puyuan Tangshui for a break, and in the evening, watch the sunset by the canal as the lanterns light up. Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Enjoy a Huaiyang meal at Mabulou, including soft-shelled eel and Pingqiao tofu. Afterward, stroll along the canal and watch the National Master Pagoda dance in the light. Flower Street is a place like this: short yet bustling with the city's bustle, serene yet filled with 650 years of stories. There's no rushing to rush to see the sights; take your time to stroll, eat, and take photos. You'll discover that the most glorious moments are these leisurely, everyday moments. 💕 Huai'an Flower Street is worth a special trip!
