There are varieties of restaurants on the street with robust dishes and healthy delicacies that will leave your taste bud craving more. If you love Chinese food or Chinese takeout in your local country, you need to visit China and feel the real thing.

Forget whatever you have read or heard about the rudeness or cold attitude of Chinese people. Many locals are usually excited to have foreigners, and they will treat you like a god. You will find people of good heart that will go out of their ways to make life comfortable for you. 

I experienced this first hand when I hitchhiked on a Chinese cargo ship from Thailand to China.

Even in the big cities, you will see strangers wave at you, people willing to have a picture with you, all from their excitement of having a foreigner visit their country. You will form fantastic memories with good people that will stay with you for a pretty long time.
