Thanks all for your input!

We overlooked one little thing: availability of taxi's
There was a cue of at least one hour... So I decided to start walking into town.

I ended up at ShuangQiaoLu, a small road heading into the neighborhood.
It turned out to be an endless street market, with all types of food. Local fruit, dumplings, noodles AND countless street hotpots!
At first I managed to resist, to avoid stomach problems. But passing by all these happy locals and seeing the fresh mushrooms, zucchine, shrimps and so on, I gave in to the temptation.

I was treated as a true VIP (laowai is now on a picture with owner) and it was a great experience!

Now I'm killing the last 2 hours in the extremely dull mu lounge.
