Three archways

Nanjing people often say that the three arches do not refer to the archway with historical allusions, but refers to the three archways composed of the three archways of the street and its perpendicular Hehui Street, and the parallel Guangdong Road. Locals always have a special affection for Sanpailou - the Sanpailou Night Market, which was established in 1998, has made more people remember it. In 2013, the Sanpailou Night Market was demolished, and many shops moved or closed down, but many still hold on. Nowadays, the night of Sanpailou is no longer as noisy and crowded as in the past, but fortunately, the residual temperature of fireworks is still there, and it is still a strong stroke on the food map of Nanjing.

No matter in the past or now, Bai Nan barbecue has always been the first choice for supper in the Sanpailou area. Bai Nan's barbecue is more vigorous, the baking marks are obvious, the sprinkling is relatively restrained, and the roasting smell is slightly stronger. The meat skewers of Bonan barbecue are stable, the beef and mutton materials are fresh, the aroma is rich, and the chewiness is full; Crispy bones and large five-flowered pieces are in a bunch, the bones are crispy and chewy, and the oil is fragrant; The chicken wings are charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The performance of vegetarian dishes is very general, easy to "step on thunder", the roasted eggplant garlic is faint, the stinky and dry taste is dry, in addition, the serving speed of Bo Nan barbecue is generally slow and half a beat, which makes the taste of the skewers slightly reduced. Bai Nan barbecue is a self-service scanning code ordering mode, and matters such as pouring tea and adding water often need to be handled by themselves.
