City-specific notes
- Ruifeng is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. The other four markets here open every day.
- Liuhe and Ruifeng are the easiest for international visitors. Guanghua, Jilin, and Xingzhong are more local food streets.
- Guanghua, Jilin, and Xingzhong share the road with scooters and cars, so watch for traffic as you walk.
- Zhongxiao left our top five in October 2026: most customers ride up on scooters or stop by car, so it suits locals more than visitors on foot.
- Ratings and review counts are dated snapshots, not live figures.
