The city in China that stays up the latest for food, the later the night, the better the taste!

Which provincial capital in China is the best at staying up late? When faced with this question, some people might think of the bustling mega-cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, while others might recall the popular tourist cities like Changsha and Wuhan. However, the answer that follows is quite unexpected—Nanning, Guangxi. Nanning has always been a low-key presence among provincial capitals, but when it comes to nightlife, it stands out and consistently takes the crown. A few years ago, a tech company released a 'Cities That Sleep the Earliest' ranking that went viral online, and Nanning proudly 'held the last place' with an average sleep time of 0:55. In the 'Post-95 Night Snack Vitality Cities' ranking by the Ele.me platform, Nanning also ranked first nationwide. The sleepless people of Nanning are very busy, lingering in night markets, enjoying skewers and snails, and craving the fresh aroma of the first bowl of Laoyou Rice Noodles. Nanning's night snack culture is extremely prosperous, and unlike the cookie-cutter internet-famous stalls in other cities, the time-honored stalls here are filled with flavors that have been refined over time. In this gourmet city at the southern border of the country, all kinds of flavors have the opportunity to shine. Raw ingredients, rice noodles, stir-fried snails, and the unique 'Laoyou flavor' of Nanning stand out, along with honey-flavored barbecues that refresh the perceptions of out-of-town diners. The various sour snacks, like opening a blind box, are delightfully sour and boldly spicy... Who would want to sleep early when there's another bite of surprise waiting?
