How to tour Henan night markets, and which of Kaifeng or Luoyang is recommended?

[Direct conclusion] 【Kaifeng's night markets are Henan's zenith (Drum Tower, Xisi); Luoyang's are more local street-life (Old City Cross Street, Xigong Small Street). Key points to keep in mind: 1. Tour with 'ask price first, order little of many, save room for the signature'.】 Two major markets compared: Four touring tips: ◆ Ask price before eating: some stalls charge by skewer/portion; skipping this overruns budget. 2. ◆ Little of many: two people order 6–8 small items, richer than two big bowls. 3. ◆ Save room for signatures: soup dumplings and fried jelly are musts; ordinary skewers can wait. 4. ◆ Off-peak: before 19:00 fewer people, better photos; after 21:00 liveliest but packed.
