China > General Information > Food
China has a variety of different local cuisines. It can be categorized into the following main areas: Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan and Cantonese. Shanghaiese and Cantonese are dominated by sea food, whereas the northern Beijing style is leaning more towards noodles. Sichuan is very spicy.
Huo Guo
The Mongolian Hotpot is available in Sichuan and in the north. It is
really hot (spicy), and certainly worth the experience.
Yoghurt
China has some of the best yoghurt of the world. They are sold on the
street in glasses and you drink(!) them with a straw. Make sure to
return the glass.
Bottled Water
Never drink tap water. Even in the smallest guest houses in the
remotest villages there are thermos bottles with boiled water. It is
used for tea.
Beer
There are numerous local brands available, the most famous being
Tsingdao. They are not only cheaper than the foreign ones, but most of
the time even better.
