South Gate / Confucian Temple Ping
The south entrance used to be the boss of the Changsha Night Market, and it is also the oldest existing Changsha Night Market, which first appeared in 1990. At that time, at the south gate, there were already rich types of supper such as sesame oil pig blood, braised eggs, red bean paste and so on. The flavor shrimp that is now popular in Changsha also originally came out of the south gate. When crayfish was introduced to Changsha, the taste was very simple, and it was only boiled in water and dipped in sauce to eat. The first flavored shrimp shop at the south gate appeared around 1996 and was called Shen Kee. Shen Ji flavored shrimp pioneered the practice of chicken soup with red oil, giving the originally light crayfish a full Hunan flavor. Although the Shen Ji flavor shrimp no longer exists, the development of flavor shrimp has become an indispensable and important component of Changsha's night snack category.
Later, due to the construction of the city, the old city was demolished, and traffic control was implemented at the south gate, and many shops were closed. However, in small streets and alleys such as Shahe Street, Xihu Road, and Wenmiaoping, some old shops still exist in them.
Yi Jia Jiang Ji
Not only did the taste of shrimp come out of the south gate, but the braised duck products led by the duck rack also came from the night snack stall at the south gate. Yijia Jiang Kee opened in 1997 on Shahe Street at the south gate and was the first small shop in Changsha to make braised duck food with brine. From 2000 to 2003, Yi Jia Jiang Kee was at the peak of his fame, and he was in the limelight for a while. Juewei duck neck, Zhou Hei duck and so on all appeared one after another.
With its unique brine formula, Yijia Jiang Ji still has a high popularity in the Changsha night snack circle today. There are a variety of duck racks, duck feet, duck necks, duck wings, duck tongues, etc., and there are original and spicy flavors to choose from.

Five stinky tofu
Wuxiao Yu stinky tofu is well-known in Changsha. Diners who come to eat stinky tofu often crowd the narrow alleys. The elderly Wu Xiaoyu is now less likely to fry stinky tofu in the stall, and is now mostly handled by her son.
The reason why Wuxiao Yu stinky tofu is famous is first of all because of the excellent quality of water, oil and tofu, and secondly, it has unique features in several links such as brine, bean germ, seasoning, frying and heat. What's even more rare is that Wu Xiaoyu stinky tofu still retains the traditional Changsha stinky tofu practice, only adding chili, soy sauce, and sesame oil to taste, instead of adding mustard and chives to flavor the street now.
