Di Er Bing (第二兵) Beef Offal Night Stalls

The night market beef offal stalls of Guangzhou's old town offer one of the city's most atmospheric food experiences—outdoor plastic stools under fluorescent lights, steam rising from clay pots of simmered tripe, tendon, and intestines in five-spice broth. The most famous cluster on Shangjiu Lu near Shangxiajiu have operated since the 1950s, serving a full bowl for just CNY 20–45 (approx. HKD 22–48). Dianping rates these top stalls 4.5–4.7/5, and reviewers describe them as "a time-capsule of 1970s Guangzhou street food culture." This is a far more affordable option than a sit-down dim sum meal, yet offers a deeper connection to local heritage; open from 6pm to 3am, busiest after 9pm.
