''The Chinese eat everything that has 4 legs except table'',
peope say. The Chinese cuisine is ric including great choice
of sea food, beef, frog, mutton, chicken, ducks and a great
choice of vegetables and of course, rice.m. Vegetarians
will enjoy Chinese food. You also can enjoy Western style
food in bigger cities like Beijing, Shanghai etc.
Some suggestions:
-
Do not skip meals. Sightseeing takes
energy.
-
Do not overindulge at meal times. You
can sample new foods and the seemingly endless array of
courses without eating
large portions. You will feel better if you eat small
portions throughout the day.
-
If you get tired of Chinese food at
a certain point, note that rice will be available at every
meal.
-
Eat fruits and vegetables whenever
possible. This can help you avoid constipation. Breakfast
everyday will provide you
with an ample choice of fruits and juices.
-
Drink plenty of fluids. Mild dehydration,
resulting from excessive perspiration, can make you more
susceptible to fatigue, even illness. Keep a bottle of
drinking water with you and try to drink even when you
are not thirsty. On sightseeing trips, bottled water can
be purchased everywhere for about 25 cents per bottle.
Alternatives to water include fruit juices and soft drinks.
Remember that alcoholic beverages will cause further dehydration.
Special Diets
Airlines can accommodate you with vegetarian meals.
In Chinese restaurants, if you are with a group, meals tend
to be served family style. There will be a variety of dishes,
and there will always be vegetable-only dishes. If you have
any questions about the meals, you can ask your local guide
for help.
