Whenever the summer night falls, crowds of diners in search of succulent food in Zibo city – located in East China's Shandong province – invariably choose to have a Chinese barbecue at the late-night snack stalls.

From lamb, fish and pork to mushrooms, cabbage and corn, almost all foods can be barbecued on grills at late-night snack stalls across China.

What makes the Zibo barbecue special is the pancake, the scallions and the small stoves. Locals usually wrap all the barbecued treats up in the appetizing pancakes.
