What to Eat in Southeast China

Posted by | March 19, 2018 | , , , |

10 Dishes to Try in Southeast China Right across the border from Hong Kong, Southeast China attracts more and more tourists every year. In this part of the country, you’ll find three popular provinces. First, Guangdong Province contains Southeast China’s only tier-1 cities, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Second, Hainan Province dishes up a relaxing beach lifestyle. Third, Fujian Province is one of the most culturally diverse provinces in the country. My favorite aspect of Chinese culture is that each province has its own unique styles of cooking. Sichuan Province in Central China serves painfully spicy food. Anhui Province in Eastern...

What it Costs: A Day of Travel in Taipei

A DAY OF TRAVEL COSTS IN TAIPEI, TAIWAN I’ve been living in and traveling around China for six months, and I have to admit, Taipei is my favorite city so far. The city has maintained its Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and Dutch influences, providing tourists with a hodgepodge of cultures in a mere couple of blocks.
