    China has the world's number one industrial manufactured products, and the food industry is just one of them. Basically, you can find snack products of any country and any brand in the world in China. Many food manufacturers will also come to China to invest and build factories and introduce the snack products of their own countries. Of course, except for some relatively extreme flavors (such as canned herring that even the locals may not be able to accept. In China, usually only some foreign trade stores will import and sell it). When these products are produced in China, they will try their best to suit the taste of the locals. For example, the Chinese actually don't like extremely sweet snacks, and these food manufacturers will produce some snacks with local characteristic flavors (such as the spicy flavored Lay's potato chips you see). You haven't even seen these products in the place of origin. Chengdu is one of the most inclusive cities in China, and you will feel this in the subsequent journey. As a native of Chengdu, I am very glad to see more and more foreign friends coming to travel in Chengdu. I hope you have a pleasant journey!

      @@zefengc In the traditional Chinese dietary culture, dairy products do not occupy an important position as in some Western countries.
      On the one hand, from the perspective of history and geography, the development of animal husbandry in most areas of ancient China was relatively limited, and the scale of cattle and sheep breeding was not as extensive as that of some nomadic peoples on the grasslands, which to a certain extent affected the supply and popularity of dairy products.
      On the other hand, China has a rich variety of other ingredients and dietary choices, such as grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, etc., which play an important role in people's daily diet and to a certain extent also reduce the dependence on dairy products.
      For example, soy milk is a common drink in China, which to some extent replaces the position of milk in some people. In addition, various soy products, rice paste, etc. also provide people with rich sources of nutrition.

    Your videos are very popular on China's local video websites, and the number of views is actually very high, which should be tens of millions in total.
    But many Chinese people cannot access UA-cam and cannot leave you a message here.
    The comments I see the most are that people really like your conversation and camerawork. The in-depth and quality dialogue, as well as the good cameramanship, allow some people who have never been to Wenshu Yuan to appreciate the beauty of Wenshu Yuan.

    The main difference between American Coke and Chinese Coke is the sweetener used. American Coke is typically sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, while Chinese Coke is sweetened with cane sugar. Additionally, Chinese Coke has less carbonation than American Coke.
    American Coke was pulled from the Chinese market in 2008 due to dwindling sales, as Chinese consumers preferred the taste of the cane sugar-sweetened Coke.

    Hi. For you question about the condiments actually for normal restaurants serving fried dishes they don’t usually put the condiments on the table because I guess each dish has its own seasoning and most of people won’t try to modify it. But you can always ask for any condiments and they will give you from the kitchen.on the other hand, if you go to a noodle restaurant, there will be always two or three condiments on the table like soy sauce, vinegar and many kinds of chili depends on your city. The chili could be powder, could be chili oil.
