🇰🇷 4K 🇨🇳 Xita Korean Street Shenyang | Little Seoul, Koreatown in China 沈阳西塔韩国风情街 서탑가는 중국 선양

Hello from behind the Great Firewall of China! I hope that you're doing well, thank you for joining me.

Today we'll visit Shenyang's Korean neighborhood known as Xita or Seotap (Chinese: 西塔; pinyin: Xītǎ; Korean: 서탑, Sŏtap/Seotab) meaning Western Pagoda. It is an interesting Chinese & Korean street & a melting pot where Korean businesses, from both sides of the Korean peninsula, line the streets. The signage is in both Chinese & Korean here, with a mix of cultural influences in the form of music & food from both North & South Korea.

This street, known in Chinese as 西塔街 & in Korean as 서탑거리, is the place to go in Shenyang for Korean entertainment, arts, culture, nightlife & especially food. Korean food here is just incredible with a multitude of tasty choices, including Korean barbeque, Korean Chinese & Korean American cuisines, fried chicken, tofu sundubu-jjigae, kimbap, tteokbokki 떡볶이 (sweet & spicy rice cakes), jajangmyeon (Korean Chinese style noodles served with a thick sauce), cakes & desserts, naengmyeon 냉면 冷麵 (cold noodles with buckwheat), beef rib & beef noodle soups, fresh seafood & more. Staying authentically Korean, waiting staff at many of the venues here can be seen dressed in hanbok & are trained to receive guests using traditional etiquette, providing visitors a genuine taste of Korean culture. Please enjoy the video!

P.S. The Pyongyang restaurant, as seen in this video, is an establishment run by the Kim family. Jong Un, a large well-rounded food connoisseur, goes positively ballistic after guzzling Pyongyang cuisine, although critics complain about tight-fisted portions & deplorable food poisoning. However, all things considered, you just can't complain.
