China Travel FAQ - Eating

The restaurants we will take you for lunch or dinner are all designated tourist restaurants approved by local tourist administration bureau. They have very good sanitary conditions and the food is prepared fresh and clean.

Normally for lunch or dinner, only one glass of soft drinks like Co, Sprite, mineral water and beer is included. Tea is also free of charge. But if you want more soft drinks or order wines and coffee, you have to pay by yourself. Wine is not sold by glass in china, so you have to buy a bottle instead of one glass.

In china, each city has its snack of local flavor. Normally it is not included in the program unless you have the specific request. If you have interest, you can ask the local guide to make arrangement for you. But you have to pay for the snack and the bus transportation. You can also go by yourself. Before you go, you can consult with your local guide and she or he will give you suggestions on what to eat and where to eat. Also you can follow-up the travel guide book's recommendation. But you need remember always to choose a restaurant which is dependable in terms of hygiene and quality. Never go to the small restaurant or the open restaurant at night market, or you will have upset stomach if you have food there.
Credit card is only accepted in large hotels. For most of the restaurants in China, Cash in Chinese Yuan is acceptable. So bring some cash in Chinese Yuan before enjoy your meal.
