What is Chuan (串) and where to find it

I’m in 甘肃,兰州 Gansu,Lanzhou this week for work, so I am going for 串儿 tonight(and tomorrow). Found your article and going to try and up my 串儿 game a little!

Found this (from your article) on Youtube already and am going to watch/study it: 人生一串

Nice find Phillip!

I enjoyed the video made by our friends Nata and Tina, a great insight into Chuan’r and a recommended watch.

I have hugely found memories of “Chuan’r Nights” on the streets of Shenyang back in 2014 when I first went to China. Superb tradition and one I always cherish.
