China For The Foodie

Food is a gateway into the culture of a nation, and in China, where every province has its own style of cooking, spicing and ingredients, this is particularly poignant. For the adventurous eater who’ll taste anything there are plenty of exciting delicacies to keep you taste buds tingling.

This quick itinerary, themed for those who love their food, features some of our foodie highlights and gives you an idea of the places to visit in each destination:
