For Vegetarians

Information for Vegetarians Travelling to China contains phrases and a list of menu items that are vegetarian friendly.

I wrote this page because I often see vegetarians or vegans planning on trips to China asking questions about how to find acceptable food. The information below is drawn from my experience: just over two years living and travelling in China, including Taiwan and Hong Kong. A lot of foreign vegetarians arrive with no local language skills, which was exactly the case for me. Hopefully this page can help you out.
