Zhan kebabs are special snacks. Speaking of Zhan string in Taiyuan, people's first reaction is Yijing, located in Heping South Road, Hexi District. The snack street in Yijing is said to be the origin of Zhan string.
If you want to ask the time, it can be traced back to the mid-1990s. Yijing District is located in Taiyuan Chemical Industry Zone, Shanxi Province. In the mid-1990s, various enterprises around closed down and moved. Laid-off workers and masters found ways to start their own businesses, and this bustling snack street was born. Whether the string came from the hand of a great god is impossible to verify. But there are only two who dare to flaunt themselves as "authentic".
Yijing snack street runs from east to west, but it is only 100 meters. The stalls are located at the break of snack street, one in the south and the other in the north. The one in the south is called "Authentic Yijing Corridor Zhan Chuan", and the one in the north is called "Authentic Yijing No.9 Zhan Chuan". The two small shops do business face to face, each has its own fans, and there is no sense of disobedience.
