The book notes: "Walking around Tianjin will work up an appetite. If you want a smorgasbord of options, head to Nanshi Cuisine Street (南市食品街, Nánshì Shípǐn Jiē), not quite 2km from Ancient Culture Street and Marco Polo Square, respectively. This indoor food court has a high glass ceiling and tile concourse, and the walls are lined with about 100 food stalls. You can wander from hot-plate to chafing dish and sample a wide range of snacks and lunches, including live fish cooked on the spot. The contained environment allows you to order street food without standing in the actual street. Seating is limited, but Nanshi is a cosy escape on rainy days. You can also try a takeaway picnic in Nanshi Park across the street."

The book notes: "Food Streets abound in Tianjin with Nanshi Food Street being one of the more fa-mous. The architecture alone is enough for going there, not to mention the over 100 restaurants and food shops that line the 40,000 square meter location. Nanshi Food Street resembles an ancient Chinese city on three floors with a glass roof and beautiful fountains. The entrances to the food street are adorned by four gates called Zhen Yu, Xing Ge, Zhong Sheng and Hua Yu or as the acronym implies Rejuvenating China. Nanshi Street is full of the daily hustle and bustle of this active city. Tianjin boasts local snacks, dishes of the Eight Styles of Chinese Cookery and Tianjin's local fare along with most of the foods from around the world. There is a large Muslim population in Tianjin so there is no shortage of Islamic cuisine."

The food here is from all over China and abroad, and includes typical Tianjin snacks such as goubuli (steamed meat dumpling), erduoyan (fried cake), and shibajie (deep-fried dough twist). We found it too dirty to be appetizing. Please let us know if they clean things up as the concept is great."

The article notes: "而天津的食品街却独创了“集八方名菜于一处，揽四方游客聚一餐”的先例，使“众口尽调一街中”。天津食品街建成于l 984年，经各方通力协作，百日建成，各种风味饮食商店随即开业。高约数丈的灰色围墙，把食品街围成一个正正方方的四方形，城内十字交叉的两条大街，把食品街均分为四个分区，沿街设有上下三层店铺。第二层由环绕全街的平台式回廊相贯通，形成一个立体、开放、方便的服务区。底层多是经营各色地方风味的小吃，五湖四海的绝技都在此占地摆摊，竞相献艺。"
From Google Translate: "Tianjin’s Food Street pioneered a unique concept: gathering famous dishes from all corners of the country and bringing together travelers from far and wide to dine in a single location—truly a place where "every palate finds satisfaction on one street." Completed in 1984 through a massive, concerted effort that saw construction finished in just one hundred days, the street immediately opened for business with shops offering a wide array of culinary styles. Towering grey walls enclose the street in a perfect square; two intersecting main avenues divide the area into four quadrants, with shops arranged across three levels. A continuous, platform-style corridor links the second-floor shops, creating an open, multi-level, and accessible service area. The ground floor is largely dedicated to diverse local snacks, where vendors from across the nation showcase their unique culinary skills and specialties."

The article notes: "时光流转至1984年，为恢复传统餐饮、改善老旧街区，天津南市食品街建成开业，“石头门坎”入驻其中，在食客中再掀热潮。在石头门坎素包制作技艺第四代传承人尚秀英的记忆中，食品街开业时红红火火，我们的素包供不应求，消费者往往需排队一两个小时才能买到包子。到上世纪90年代末，和很多餐饮老字号企业一样，“石头门坎”的经营也陷入困境，下一步该怎么走？"
From Google Translate: "Fast forward to 1984, and to revive traditional dining and improve old neighborhoods, Tianjin Nanshi Food Street was built and opened. "Shitou Menkan" (Stone Threshold) moved in, creating a new wave of popularity among diners. Shang Xiuying, the fourth-generation inheritor of the Shitou Menkan vegetarian bun-making technique, recalls the bustling opening of the food street; their vegetarian buns were in high demand, and customers often had to queue for one or two hours to buy them. By the late 1990s, like many time-honored catering businesses, "Shitou Menkan" faced difficulties. What should they do next?"
