Huangzehe Peanut Soup (Zhongshan Road Flagship)

黄则和花生汤店(中山路总店)

An old-established shop on Zhongshan Road dating back to 1945. Its peanut soup is a must-try sweet treat for visitors strolling the old street.

The founder began selling peanut soup from a shoulder pole around 1945 along Lujiang Road and Zhongshan Road. In 1950, the business took over the storefront at No. 22 Zhongshan Road, and it remains a landmark on the pedestrian street. The signature sweet peanut soup costs about RMB 6 a bowl and can be paired with fried dough sticks or chive pastries. The shop also serves sha-cha noodles, oyster omelets and braised pork zongzi. It is crowded, mostly with tourists, and you need to queue to buy tickets, pick up your order and find a seat. No reservations are taken. Mornings from 7:30 to 9:00 or evenings are quieter. The per-person spend is about RMB 15–30. Located at Nos. 22–24 Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street.
