Hongzhuan Street Morning Market
红专街早市
A trendy morning market near Central Avenue, lined with Northeast breakfast favorites such as fried sticky cakes, grilled cold noodles, tofu pudding and frozen pears.
Hongzhuan Street Morning Market is on Hongzhuan Street in Daoli District. It is one of Harbin’s most popular morning markets and has become a must-visit spot for travelers who want to experience local street life, especially since winter snow tourism took off. It opens around 5 a.m. every day, with stalls stretching for hundreds of meters. You can try you bao (fried glutinous rice cakes), nian dou bao (sticky bean buns), grilled cold noodles, guobaorou (crispy sweet-and-sour pork), jijia (chicken frames), tofu pudding and da guozi (Northeast-style fried dough). In winter, there are also frozen pears, frozen persimmons and other frozen treats. Aim to arrive by 7 or 8 a.m., as most stalls start closing around 9. Winter mornings are bitterly cold, so keep your phone warm. The market is about a 10-minute walk from Central Avenue.
