Mobike (now called Meituan bikes) has won out. It’s a very cheap and quick way to get around the city, especially for too-far to walk, too annoying to subway kind of distances. Dīdī (滴滴, the Uber of China) also offers shared bikes. And we are saving the planet at the same time 🌏💙

The most character can be found in little mom and pop restaurants located near residential neighbourhoods. Even in major cities, you can still find meals for under 20 yuan there. Street food rules!

Guangzhou is a sprawling port city northwest of Hong Kong on the Pearl River. The city features avant-garde architecture such as Zaha Hadid’s Guangzhou Opera House. Amazing place to visit 😍

DAIKON RADISH:

You’ll notice the trend with Asian vegetables is they all are high in nutrients. The daikon radish is no exception. It’s high in nutrients while remaining low in calories.

This radish will stand out from other ordinary varieties of radishes because it has a long, white root. Daikon radishes not only stand out by looks but in flavor too.

They have a milder flavor in comparison to other radish varieties and have less of a pepper flavor. Daikon radishes can be pickled or cooked in a dish by slicing or grating it.

Napa cabbage. It’s high in vitamin C, which makes it a healthy option for you.

The great thing about preparing Chinese cabbage is it takes on any flavor of the foods it’s prepared with. Don’t feel you have to continually cook this style of cabbage because it’s an excellent addition to salads, stir-fry, or soups too.

If you haven't prepared Chinese cabbage before, choose the heads which have crispy leaves and are green.

6 Traditional Chinese Medicine Techniques:

1. Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting needles into the superficial skin, subcutaneous tissue, and muscles at particular acupuncture points and manipulating them.

2. Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a therapy that involves burning moxa (mugwort root) made from dried Artimesia vulgaris (spongy herb) to facilitate healing. Burning moxa produces a great deal of smoke and a pungent odor that often is confused with that of cannabis. The purpose of moxibustion is to warm and invigorate the blood, stimulate the flow of Qi, strengthen the kidney Yang, expel wind and disperse cold, and dissolve stagnation. Historically, this therapy had been used to treat menstrual pain.

3. Tui Na Massage
Tui na (a combination of massage, acupressure, and other forms of body manipulation) is a form of Asian bodywork therapy that has been used in China for centuries. In a typical tui na session, the patient remains clothed and sits on a chair. The practitioner will ask a series of questions and then begin treatment.

4. Cupping/Scraping
Cupping is a type of Chinese massage, consisting of placing several glass or plastic “cups” (open spheres) on the body. Practitioners warm the cups using a cotton ball or other flammable substance, which is then placed inside the cup to remove all the oxygen.

5. Chinese Herbs
The substances practitioners most commonly use can come from different leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds of plants such as cinnamon bark, ginger, ginseng, licorice, and rhubarb. Ginseng is the most broadly used substance for the broadest set of treatments. If a practitioner recommends Chinese herbology as a treatment, the herbs are combined into a formula that is dispensed in the form of a traditional tea, capsule, liquid extract, granule, or powder. The effectiveness of Chinese herbology still remains poorly documented.

6. Chinese Nutrition
Chinese nutrition is a mode of dieting rooted in Chinese understandings of the effects of food on the human organism. In Chinese nutrition, a balanced diet is one that includes all
5 tastes—spicy (warming), sour (cooling), bitter (cooling), sweet (strengthening), and salty (cooling).
