Qianhaiyan is a local Qingdao chain decorated to recreate old Qingdao street scenes, specializing in homestyle Qingdao cuisine. Its signature Sea Sausage Claypot Rice is cooked with Chinese chives, pork belly, and sea sausage. The Assorted Seafood Dumplings, Spanish Mackerel Dumplings, Old Qingdao Fried Pork, and Traditional Crispy Chicken are also frequently ordered. The Aeon store is located on the 2nd floor of the Aeon East Shopping Center at No. 72 Hong Kong Medium Road, close to May Fourth Square. Platforms show an average cost of about 67 RMB per person, though some guides estimate 100 to 150 RMB, depending on what you order. Even for weekday lunches, you might have to wait about half an hour, and queues are much longer on holidays, so off-peak visits are recommended.
