Chinese cuisine has an ancient and prized tradition, which has become loved all over the world. Like any cultural food, it has developed through great care over the centuries, and is known for a fine selection of ingredients, and a balancing of preparation, nourishment and how much cooking is relied on. To a large degree, climate, availability of produce, and tastes are just some of the important historical factors that influence the unique style of local dishes.

You can enjoy the delicious Chinese food not only in superior restaurants with many facilities and quality service, but also in ordinary eateries that are much cheaper but still serve delicious food. Prices vary, based on the different conditions and the environment.

Food in remote areas or cities, like Lhasa, is not as fine as that in large cities. Besides, there are not so many choices and you may not be used to the local taste, especially in the regions of many minority features and special eating habits.
