Travel and Food

1.Taiwan in China
"Have you eaten ?"The words are used as a greeting here,and the answer is always "yes",as there's just too much nibbling to do.Taiwan offers the gamut of Chinese cuisines,some of the best Japanese outside Japan,and a full house of local specialities from Tainan milkfish and Taipei beef noodles to indigenous barbecued wild boar.
Night markets around the island serve endless feasts of snacks including stinky tofu,steamed dumplings ,oyster,omelettes,shrimp rolls and shaved ice. And when you're thirsty you can look forward to juices from the freshest local fruits,local craft beer,aromatic teas and ,in a surprising twist,Asia's best gourmet coffee.


2.Hongkong in China
Hong Kong welcomes with an iconic skyline,a legendary kitchen,and lush,protected nature where rare birds and colourful traditions thrive.
One of the world's top culinary capitals, the city that worships the God of Cookery has many a demon in the kitchen,whether the deliciousness in the pot is Cantonese,Sichuanese,Japanese or French. So deep is the city'slove of food and so broad its culinary repertoire that whatever your gastronomic desires,Hong Kong will find a way to sate them. the answer could be a bowl of wonton noodles,freshly steamed dim sum,a warm pineapple bun wedged with butter,a pair of the sweetest prawns,your first-ever stinky tofu,or the creations of the latest celebrity chef.


3.Fujian in China
Fujian is an attractive coastal province with a along seafaring history. As a significant stop on the maritime Silk Road,its cities developed an easy cosmopolitan out look and visitors are surprised by the traces of elsewhere in its architecture,food ,language and people.

Xiamen is the star attraction to visitors,with its long seaside promenade and easy access to little Gulangyu.



Away from the coast ,the UNESCO world Heritage-listed tulou(roundhouses)rise out of the countryside and for generations have housed traditional Hakka and Fujianese communities. Further north,the hill station of Wuyishan offers year-round hiking opportunities and memorable river cruise on bamboo rafts.
