One of the most popular things to do and see in China, is the "Night Market". After visiting the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, now many want to try the Night Market.
It isn't the kind of market you find here in the states, because some things you just have to see with your own eyes to believe, and it's all true.
The Night Market features food stands where you can try scorpions, fried starfish, snakes, pig stomachs, centipedes, silk worms on a stick and many other foods of which the health department in Utah would probably not approve.
The food shops are side-by-side and go about two football fields down the side of a busy road in a popular shopping district. And it is popular. Every night this market opens, and every night there are people lined up to buy and taste these insects and reptiles.
I didn't try any of it, but many people did.
