Hong Kong is one of the most vibrant food capitals in the world, with a staggering 12,000
restaurants to choose from. The Michelin Guide launched here at the end of last year- a foreboding green light for celebrity chefs to open expensive gourmet restaurants. They would be missing the point: Hong Kong certainly isn't somewhere you have to spend a fortune for fabulous Chinese food.

In Britain, the vast majority of Chinese menus comprise of the Sino equivalent of that least Indian of dishes: chicken tikka masala. Thanks to the thousands of Chinese
restaurants serving up tough, battered nuggets of protein with neon orange sauce and MSG-laden, greasy, gloopy stir-fries, the country's reputation as one of the world's culinary greats lies in tatters.

Travel Tips for China

Gareth Morgan — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:06:20 +0000

Robust and adventurous travellers will find much to enjoy in China. Many of the negative observations of China, from pollution to noise, are restricted to large urban centres – in particular Beijing. Take care that a three-week itinerary takes in both urban and rural China – try Hong Kong to Yunnan via the stunning scenery of Guilin and Yangshuo, or an exploration of some of the main historic areas of the country, from Beijing to Xian and on to the stunning Mogao Caves at Dunhuang.

Guizhou is populated by ethnic minorities such as the Dong, whose distinctive dress and customs make them among the most interesting tribespeople in Asia. Zhaoxing is a Dong village, a splendidly higgledy-piggledy place threaded by cobbled alleys and crowned with conical drum towers. From the balustrades of first-floor balconies, all manner of things hang — corncobs, laundry, dyed cloth, children, spun wool, drying radishes, mops.

Adrian Bronte — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:38:35 +0000

The best hostel in Beijing. The Sleepy Inn is set on the banks of Xihai, a lake to the north of Houhai which has thankfully so far avoided the tide of "development" that has blighted its once serene neighbour with a jetsam of neon and noise. A great terrace with comfy armchairs provides a perch to watch the local fisherman below; a shady courtyard offers a quiet spot to relax; good clean rooms are matched with efficient staff and a nice restaurant.
