A couple of days in Chengdu before heading home...

Our next stop on our Sichuan feeding frenzy is Zigong, another buzzing little one horse Chinese town of 1.3 million people, or 2.7 million outer boondocks inclusive.

We make it to Sichuan for a couple of weeks of eating, starting in Chengdu, which has always been a food dream city of ours, and ending with big fat panda bottoms.

Street Food Travels ~ how much does it cost to travel through China?

We've had the opportunity to get away on a few quick trips over the last few years thanks to cheap airfares and some prudent planning. Here's our costs and tips for travelling China, Hong Kong and Macau.

A Uygher Feed & Urumqi Nut Cake in Zhuhai, China

Our final feed on our recent China trip takes place, of all places, in a Uygher restaurant in Zhuhai on the Macau border. It  makes us want to start our trip all over again.

The Street Food Guangzhou Royal Visit ~ Mamma's Making Canton

Last time we were in Guangzhou, the home of Cantonese cuisine, we felt we didn't get a good enough feed. So we went back a year or so later to see what we missed.

Street Food goes to China ~ Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province

"I can't recommend it to anybody, but I love this place" says Miss Chicken as we wander semi-lost in the streets of Zhaoqing, Guangdong, Southern China.

China Tour ~ A Quick Stopover in Hong Kong

A quick one day eat-over in Hong Kong as we head home.  We further indulge in our obsession with Hong Kong coffee shop food, try a couple of old favourites, and find a few new ones.

China Tour ~ Macau, without Jamie Packer

On our second visit we learn that there's much more to Macau than booze and casinos.

China Tour ~ Guangzhou & Zhuhai

Guangzhou is the home of Cantonese cuisine. After a hell bus trip we eat what we can and muse about the possibilities left behind.

China ~ The Tulou Tour from Hell

Living large on a Chinese only speaking bus tour to the famous tulous and onwards to Guangzhou.

China Tour ~ Xiamen Old Town

In the midst of modern Xiamen is the old quarter, a maze of old style Chinese markets and tiny streets. We haven't been anywhere that felt so exotic in years. With China's liking for development, we're not sure how long this place will be around, hopefully forever. But we took a bucket of photos just in case...

China Tour ~ Xiamen Part 2 - Gulangyu Island

It's Christmas Day on Piano Island with no sign of Liberace or Richard Clayderman,  not even Tim Freedman, so we make do with fish balls, jellied tentacles worms and warm corn drinks.

China Tour ~ Xiamen Part 1 - Aimless Wandering

Xiamen is a big city getting bigger, but we find some old style charm and great food amongst the building boom.

China Tour ~ Hangzhou Part 2 - Oh, That Lake

We finally find West Lake, have the world's longest shoe shine and eat more pan fried dumplings than we thought possible.

China Tour ~ Hangzhou Part 1 - What Lake?

Around 200kms (or an hour on the superfast choo-choo) from Shanghai is Hangzhou, featuring a huge bloody big lake that we can't find.
