In this episode, follow me into the heart of Chongqing’s vibrant morning markets — where steam rises, savory aromas drift through the air, and the bustle of vendors and locals creates an atmosphere full of life. From golden Crispy Duck and Flaky Chestnut Pastries to savory Pork-Stuffed Pancakes and crispy Triangle-Shaped Rice Cakes, the streets are alive with flavors that awaken the senses. Along the way, you’ll also discover slow-roasted Hand-Pulled Duck, rustic and intensely fermented Fuzzy Tofu, and traditional fire-torched Smoked Cured Pork — plus hidden surprises like Rosa laevigata Fruit, a rare herbal ingredient found quietly at the corner of a stall. As the end of the year approaches, these markets feel warmer and livelier than ever — a sensory reminder that the most unforgettable feasts aren’t limited to holidays, but found in the everyday rhythms of the early morning street. #Chongqing #ChineseStreetFood #LocalMarkets 00:00 Video Preview 01:41 Exploration Map 02:24 Arriving at the Market 04:55 Crispy Fried Duck 08:33 The Wild Lemon Chicken Feet Stall 10:17 Flaky Chestnut Pastries 12:29 Pan-Fried Pork-Stuffed Pancakes 16:59 Charred Triangle-Shaped Rice Cakes 20:08 Crispy Pork & Tiny Fried Fish 24:47 Fragrant Hand-Pulled Roasted Duck 26:40 Bold & Pungent Fuzzy Tofu 28:48 Rosa laevigata – A Hidden Chinese Herbal Fruit 29:28 Shredded Potato Crispy Pancake 34:01 Fire-Torched Smoked Cured Pork 35:08 Shao Bai (Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens) 36:35 Dreamy Aquarium
