Food and drink
China is one of the oldest civilizations in the world and is known as the source of many inventions, such as the compass and gunpowder. The culture of China is rich in theatrical performances, literature, poetry, and the artistic style of writing known as calligraphy.
Spending your holiday in China isn’t complete without you having a taste of the food & drink in China. The basic food of China is rice and wheat; almost all dishes have either rice or wheat as an accompaniment. Other common foods in China include millet, corn, potato, sweet potato, noodles, and steamed stuffed buns.
There is a wide variety of food & drink in China - so much, in fact, that you’re sure to try a new dish every time you go out for meals. Each province in China has a distinct flavour and method in preparing dishes, so even if you’ve tasted a dish in one province, it may taste and look different in another province.
While in China, your first initiative may be to head to the nearest upscale restaurant in order to have your fill of food & drink. However, there are smaller eateries on the sidewalks which offer delicious Chinese dishes and drinks at a much lower price. You can even have your food wrapped if you plan to catch an event and wish to take some food with you.
The Beijing International Unity Cup is an award given during soccer tournaments held in Beijing. It is one of the events which you might want to watch out for while in the city for your holiday.
