WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN CHINA

Surrender your tastebuds to the endless famous dishes to eat in China. We’ll get you started with our tips on the best Chinese foods that should shoot straight to the top of your list.

Hotpot

Hot pot isn’t just a dish - it’s a whole experience. It starts with a huge bowl of steaming broth placed on a table over a flame, before everyone gathers round to dunk ingredients like vegetables and meats in the broth to cook before eating. We can’t get enough of this Chinese fondue!

Dumplings

Chinese dumplings are one of the country’s greatest gifts to the world and they taste even better when you eat them in their homeland. These delicious pockets of steamed dough are stuffed with all kinds of fillings like pork, spices and herbs, but be warned - they’re very addictive!

WHEN IS BEST TO VISIT CHINA

The best time to visit this huge country is not easily summed up, but you can’t go wrong with the warm summers and gorgeous autumn colours from June to November when you visit China.

Best Time to Take a Yangtze River Cruise

We love cruising the famous Yangtze River in the autumn season from September and October when the weather is comfortable and there are beautiful fruits in bloom.

Best Time to Walk the Great Wall of China

The best time to explore the Great Wall is spring (April to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is at its best and there are fewer crowds.

HOW TO TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY IN CHINA

Dress Respectfully in Temples

It’s important to dress appropriately when visiting temples and religious sites, and both men and women should cover their arms and legs.

Embrace Traditions and Customs

China is steeped in tradition with customs that are very different from what we experience back home. Brush up on the customs before you go and remember to have patience!

Understand Business Card Etiquette

Many Chinese people love to hand out business cards and if you receive one, make sure you look at the card carefully before putting it away and never place it in your back pocket.
