Leijie Food Street

罍街

Hefei's most famous food district, crowded with crayfish, barbecue and Anhui cuisine stalls, and the top spot to experience the city's late-night food culture.

Leijie Food Street is in Baohe District. Its name comes from 'lei,' an ancient wine vessel, and the street was developed from an existing dining area. It is divided into the old Leijie street and the Leijie creative district, with more than a hundred restaurants. Hefei favorites include crayfish (especially garlic and spicy-numbing flavors), barbecue, duck-fat shaobing (sesame flatbread), Luzhou roast duck and Anhui cuisine. On summer evenings the street stalls are bustling. Entry is free. Prices are mid-range, and popular restaurants have queues. Get there by Metro Line 1 or taxi. It makes a good dinner stop after visiting Baogong Park and the Anhui Celebrities Museum.
