The cuisine in China is as diverse as its history. With each dynasty, new recipes and cooking styles emerged. The food on our trips to China will introduce you to many of the country’s Eight Cuisines: Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui.
Popular ingredients throughout the country include noodles, tofu, bok choy, bitter melon, Chinese broccoli, and meats like chicken, duck, and shrimp. Most meals are served with rice, and are often seasoned with ginger, garlic, and white pepper.
If your China tour visits the Yangtze River, you may sample Anhui cuisine. One traditional Anhui dish includes braised turtle with ham.
