The food in China changed how I think about travel

I travel for food more than anything else, and China shot straight to the top of my culinary travel list. dim sum alone justified the flight, but that was just the beginning. The variety and quality in Xi'an is relentless — I didn't have a single disappointing meal in 13 days.

Great Wall gave context to everything I was tasting. The history and culture feeds into the food in ways you can feel. vast natural scenery completed the picture. Already planning a return trip focused entirely on eating my way through a different region.
