Strolling along the street and sampling the snacks one store after another is a wonderful experience.
The deep-fried arrowhead root chips just out of the pot are mouthwatering. They are crispy and sweet-scented.
The deep-fried fish is tasty, too, especially after being dipped in sauce or eaten together with pickles.
The golden, deep-fried stuffed dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour should not be missed.
The Mother Zhou’s Store offers delicious zongzi, a kind of glutinous rice dumplings with various fillings.
Fengmen Henjie Street offers not only dazzling local specialties, but also the deeply rooted local culture. Most of the food carries the childhood memory of the Suzhou natives.
Walking around the open-air farm produce market and rambling along the flagstone paths may be the best way to savor the local culture.
