Chinese Dumplings
In China, cuisine is synonymous with culture. It is impossible to mention
Chinese culture without mentioning Chinese food. Chinese dishes are rich and varied, originating from China’s 56 different ethnic minorities and vast territory. Additionally, the more wheat-based diet of China’s Northern regions provide a sharp contrast in diet to the more rice-based diet of China’s Southern regions. One of the most popular dishes, “jiao zi” is a Northern delicacy, especially in Beijing. Sleep in late and save your appetite as you get ready to prepare this infamous dish with a local family in their home. In addition to learning how to make jiao zi (Chinese dumplings), you will have a chance to get an insider’s peek of what life is like inside a Chinese home. After preparing and eating, take a rest for the afternoon along with a recipe and your very own!
Because China Reflection is devoted to low impact ecotourism, we have arranged our gathering points near metro stations for your convenience. Despite being overcrowded at times, Beijing has a safe and efficient metro system. By using this system, guests help to support public transportation, as well as having a chance to experience real Beijing from a more environmentally conscious viewpoint. From our meeting points we try to walk, ride bicycles or use public transport as much as possible to get to the final destination.
Estimated time of activity: 3-4 hours
