About this place

If seafood is your thing, Leyuan Road will be your heaven. This street is lined with seafood restaurants, and is busy every night of the week. The food is fresh (you can see it alive and kicking before it’s on your plate), and the prices are reasonable. The restaurants here display their menu items in tanks and cages on the side of the street, and walking the length of the street provides excellent insight into what the Cantonese consider to be edible. Aside from the astounding array of freaky critters from the deep, there are also insects, rabbits, pheasants and snakes, all waiting for the chop. Most of the restaurants here are of a similar standard, but the Golden Luohu Hotel and the Hua Cheng Yi Hong are the largest and busiest.
