Restaurants and snack shops line every street and alley across Yingde. Locals never miss a single roadside eatery. New restaurants here never struggle to attract customers—Yingde residents are always ready to try any newly opened spot. Truth be told, a batch of restaurants close down every three months on average. It is not that bad food fails to draw crowds; on the contrary, extremely tasty eateries become so competitive that many can barely stay profitable. If you want to run a profitable business, opening a restaurant here is a solid choice. Admit it or not, people of Yingde are renowned food enthusiasts through and through!
