Not only do Chinese people enjoy eating, they also believe that eating good food can bring harmony and closeness to family and relationships. Shopping daily for fresh food is essential for all Chinese cooking and even pre-prepared food such as dim sum must gleam, glisten, and steam as if just taken out of the oven. This freshness and celebration of cooking is reflected in all of Trafalgar&#8217;s Chinese dining experiences. From enjoying a home-cooked lunch in a traditional Hutong to mastering the art of Sichuan cooking in Chengdu, we&#8217;ve chosen our six favourite local and immersive food experiences to enjoy on your next trip to China.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23952\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/10\/Blog-photo-size-7.jpg\" alt=\"basket of steaming Chinese dumplings\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Blog-photo-size-7.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Blog-photo-size-7-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Blog-photo-size-7-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>1. Enjoy a traditional lunch in a Hutong<\/h2>\n<p>On day four of our 10 day <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/classic-china\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Classic China<\/a> tour, you have the opportunity to meet a local Chinese family in one of Beijing&#8217;s Hutongs and join them for a home-cooked lunch. The Hutongs of Beijing are ancient alleys formed by lines of <em>siheyuan<\/em>, traditional courtyard residences. Today, they are designated protected areas and offer a glimpse into what life was like in Beijing hundreds of years ago.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll start your exclusive <em>Be My Guest <\/em> experience by exploring the Hutong by rickshaw as you ride to the home of a local family. You&#8217;ll be greeted with a warm welcome from the family before enjoying a home-cooked lunch of fresh local cuisine. While you&#8217;re there, take the opportunity to admire the structure and layout of their traditional home. This modest home comprises of just two rooms, a lounge and bedroom, with a separate kitchen. After lunch, you&#8217;ll listen to stories about life in the Hutong &#8211; a truly unique Chinese dining experience.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Try dumpling making in Xi&#8217;an<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23953\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/10\/Blog-photo-size-8.jpg\" alt=\"hands stuffing a dumpling with chopsticks - chinese dining experience\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Blog-photo-size-8.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Blog-photo-size-8-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Blog-photo-size-8-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another fantastic immersive dining experience is dumpling making in Xi&#8217;an.

Stuff your dumplings full of delicious flavours including pork and chive or stewed lamb and coriander, and enjoy your tasty creation for lunch.<\/p>\n<p>According to legend, Chinese stuffed dumplings were invented during the Han Dynasty by a man named Zhang Zhongjian. Zhang returned to his ancestral village during winter and noticed many of his neighbours were suffering from frostbite, particularly around their ears. To help warm them up, Zhang cooked up a batch of mutton, chili and healing herbs and wrapped them in scraps of dough. He folded the dumplings to look like little ears, boiled them and handed them out to his chilly neighbours. It&#8217;s uncertain whether the dumplings cured frostbite, but the villagers loved the taste of Zhang\u2019s creation so much that they kept making dumplings 1,800 years later.<\/p>\n<h2>3.
