Linglong Snack Shop in Qingzhou is an old Chinese restaurant located in an alley on Jishan Road in Qingzhou. If it weren't for a friend from Qingzhou, outsiders would hardly find it. The shop is not too big, but it is clean and unique. The dishes are fresh and delicious. There are not too many types, but the taste is very special, and the price is not expensive. Most customers who have eaten here have become repeat customers, and the boss is also warm and hospitable.

The entrance is shabby so I was a little scared when I entered, but I was surprised at how clean it was inside. It's a popular restaurant and they added two new buildings, so the inside is spacious. However, it was crowded with customers.
