The Middle Market

EAT AT THE LANGFANG MIDDLE MARKET!!!

"The Middle Market: Where the food is hào chī (delicious)!"

Huānyíng (welcome) to the Langfang Middle Market!  Here you will find one of the most unique and colorful experiences that you can imagine when it comes to casual dining.  The Middle Market is located in the heart of Langfang city near the main gate of the Langfang Teachers College.  Here you can find a virtual den of local culinary foods and crafts.  Dozens of local venders bring their wares and goods to the Middle Market so there is a virtual cornucopia of dining options to choose from. The Middle Market provides everything from noodles to rice and every kind of vegetable and meat you could imagine… perhaps even some meats and vegetables you couldn't imagine!

Perhaps you’re in the mood for some meat but you didn’t bring your chopsticks.  That’s all right.  This local vendor provides all his goods already impaled on a stick.  Simple pick the one that looks best to you and enjoy your Chinese style shish kabob.

Maybe you’re missing the savory taste of a nice juicy American hamburger.  Well, do not despair!  China may not have hamburgers but they do have the next best thing, Ròu bǐng!  Ròu bǐng is a traditional Chinese pancake with meat inside.  It’s just like a good ol’ traditional American hamburger!  Now if only they had some mayonnaise and ketchup...

Perhaps you’re worried about the quality of the food.  But all the food in the Middle Market is cooked fresh right before you as you wait.  All the Middle Market vendors cook using state of the art upside-down 50-gallon metal drums with smoldering piles of ash underneath.  Observe as these vendors prepare their jīdàn bǐng (egg bread wrap) right before your very eyes using a metal plate on top of an upside-down drum!

But perhaps you’re here for a more organic experience.  Then you’ve come to the right place.  The Middle Market offers garden fresh fruits that are just ripe for the picking.  Apples, pears, grapes, watermelons and bananas are just some of the many fruits the Middle Market’s street vendors have to offer.  Perhaps you'd even like to try some of their fresh bīng táng húlu (sugar coated hawthorns on a stick)?

If shopping is more of your thing then the local shops are right up your alley... or should we say, they're right up our ally!  With a large verity of goods to choose from your head will be spinning before you ever leave the shop.  It might be a little hard to find what you want at first but you'll find it somewhere.  Yes, you may be wondering why the candy is next to the toilet paper but with deals this cheep who cares where it's located!!!

Tired of all the shopping?  Then why not have a sit down at one of the local eateries.  These quaint little restaurants will offer you up some of China's finest dishes at a price that can't be beat!  Try some classic gōng bǎo jī dīng (Kung Pao Chicken) or maybe something new like the delicious de sān xiān (potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  There is even free street parking for your bike!

But wait… there’s more!  The Middle Market offers other services than just food.  Perhaps you need your bicycle repaired, a dress mended, a shoe mended, or you’re just looking for a cheap flash drive.  The Middle Market has all this and more! So come on down to the Middle Market and get your fill!
