An open-air night market favored by locals, where Kaifeng snacks such as soup dumplings, stir-fried liangfen, lamb kaomo and almond tea are concentrated. Prices are cheaper than at the Drum Tower Night Market.
Xisi Night Market is located at Xisi Square, near Bao Gong Memorial Temple and Baogong Lake. It is one of the night markets Kaifeng locals visit most often. Stalls open in the evening and keep going late into the night. Signature snacks include Kaifeng soup dumplings, stir-fried liangfen (mung bean jelly), lamb kaomo (flatbread), braised fish, Tongzi chicken, almond tea and peanut cake. Prices are lower than at the Drum Tower Night Market, and the atmosphere is more down-to-earth. It makes a good dinner stop after touring Bao Gong Memorial Temple and the Kaifeng Prefectural Office.
