Eat

Where to eat

The local cuisine is rather unspectacular in terms of flavors, but the fish and freshwater shrimp are very fresh and cheap. Just as in any Chinese city, there are thousands of restaurants serving food from all corners of the country and for all budgets. Numerous KFC outlets, but no McDonald's. Turkish Restaurant. The expats' favorite!
