Come along on a night market food tour through Hainan Haikou’s Qilou Old Street—a place where history, flavor, and unfiltered humanity collide. Watch jaws drop when I surprise street vendors with fluent Mandarin and Cantonese, sparking laughs, curiosity, and exchanges you won’t see on the news. From tasty street food to hilarious chats with the locals, get a glimpse of what a Night Market in China is really like and how welcoming Chinese are to foreigners.
