Types of dumplings in China
Prior to my arrival to China, I only knew about wonton and jiaozi, which I assumed to similar to pelmeni.
As it turned out, there is no end to the variations of dumplings, so here are some of the most common dumplings in China that I've come across so far!
饺子 - jiǎozi These are thin veggie or meat filled dumplings, and they can be steamed, boiled or fried but I've only tried the steamed variety so far which is pretty tasty. They somewhat resemble pelmeni, but the tast is noticeably different.
馄饨 - húntún (wonton) These dumplings are similar to jiǎozi but thinner and they're usually eaten in soup.
生煎包 - shēngjiānbāo These are slightly crispy, fried dumplings usually with a pork-filling。

锅贴 - guōtiē These dumplings are the crispy-ish type, deep-fried and steamed with various fillings like veggies and meat.
水饺 - shuǐjiǎo They're quite similar to the 锅贴, but these dumplings are boiled (note the 水) without the frying.
小笼包 - xiǎolóngbāo These are steamed buns, usually filled pork but they can also have other fillings like veggies and seafood.

Honourary mentions: These aren't dumplings, but they're adjacent enough imo.
肉包子 - ròubāozi These are biggish steamed buns with a meat filling. I have these for breakfast and they're really good.
菜包子 - càibāozi Same as the ròubāozi, but with veggies and also pretty tasty.

If I missed any, let me know which ones as I'm always looking to try new things!

Feel free to reblog/make your case.
I’m early enough in my planning process for the results of this poll to mean nothing, but I’m interested to see anyone’s input. Doesn’t have to be based in logic either, vibes count.

A Modern City # Shanghai 上海 - China
If you think that Beijing has a lot of culture, than it’s really different with Shanghai. Once we arrived at Shanghai, we can see a lot of high buildings along the road. Our first destination is Yuyuan 豫园 / Yu Garden. The traditional building in the middle of the high buildings. Here we can enjoy Shanghai Culinary and the most delicious Xiao Long Bao 小笼包 in Shanghai. And or course other…

Desserts in China
There's quite a large variety of treats and desserts in China (more than you can imagine), so here are some of the most common ones!
Almond jelly/tofu - 杏仁豆腐 - xìngréndòufu Despite the name, almond jelly doesn't actually have almonds in it. Almond jelly is made from gelatin and almond milk, although some recepies use dairy milk instead.
Glutinous rice balls - 汤圆 - tāngyuán These rice balls are made from glutinous rice balls with a sweet filling, such as red bean paste (a pretty popular filling in desserts, I've been fooled more than once when purchasing what I assumed to be a chocolate filled pastry).
Red bean buns - 豆沙包 - dòushābāo One of my favorite desserts so far. These are steamed buns with a sweet red bean paste filling that I'd definitely recommend.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Egg custard bun - 流沙包 - liúshābāo A sweet and savory bun, with a lava-like egg yolk filling. A pretty interesting dessert, as it's both sweet and savory.
Pumpkin cake - 南瓜饼 - nánguābǐng I haven't tried this yet, but it definitely looks good. A fried and crunchy cake with a sweet filling such as red bean paste.
Eight treasure rice pudding - 八宝饭 -bābǎofàn This is a pretty popular dessert, especially during the Lunar New Year. It gets this name becase of the toppings, which are eight or more different types of dried fruits and nuts arranged on top of the sweet rice, with (once again) red bean paste.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hawthorn stick/ Candied Haws/ Sugar coated haws/ Bingtanghulu - 冰糖葫芦 - bīngtánghúlu This treat has quite a few translations and you may have probably already seen it. This is basically candied fruit covered with a sweet, crunchy and sugary syrup. Traditionally, Hawthorn is used but other fruits such as grapes, strawberries and oranges are also popular options.
Sachima - 沙琪玛 - shāqímǎ I haven't tried this snack yet, but it looks quite fascinating. Sachima is made from fried batter stuck together with a sugary syrup, with an interesting texture.
Sesame balls - 芝麻球 - zhīmaqiú Similar to the rice glutinous balls, this treat is also made from glutinous rice flour with varying fillings including lotus seeds, mung bean and red beans, and sesame seeds.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Water chestnut cake A sweet pan-fried cake made from chinese water chestnut, with a unique semi-transparent appearance.
Wintermelon puff/ Wife cake/ Sweetheartcake - 老婆餅 - lǎopóbǐng This cake has many names, mainly because it has several different origin stories, each more fascinating than the next. This dessert is a flaky pastry with wintermelon, almond (not red bean this time!) paste and sesame filling.
Fortune cake - 发糕 - fāgāo Not a fortune cookie! This is a spongy steamed cupcake cake commonly made for the New Lunar Year celebrations and occasionally other events. They're usually a white-ish or brown-ish color, but they're often dyed bright colors to add extra festivity.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mooncake - 月饼 - yuèbǐng This is a pretty well-known dessert, commonly prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mooncakes are smallish steamd/fried (depends on the region) cakes with a sweet filling that can also sometimes have an egg yolk inside.
Osmanthus cake - 桂花糕 - guìhuāgāo This is a unique traditional pastry made from glutinous rice flour, honey and osmanthus. This cake has a really interesting texture, as it's quite dense but also airy in a way? I'd definitely recommend trying it, as it's not super sweet and goes really well with tea.

hi! i (@zaobitouguang) studied in beijing for a semester in 2018! i found it really easy to practice chinese, though ironically language partner activities were the least successful for me. anyone who wanted to be my language partner usually just wanted to practice english, but random students i met often were open to speaking chinese with me. even more, once i left campus as long as i wasn't in super touristy areas (and even sometimes then) people didn't speak as much english or just weren't interested in using it. i also loved beijing so much. i only travelled outside the city once during the whole semester but i went out every weekend to a different museum or temple or historic site and never got bored-- it's just a huge historic city with a ton to do. i can't speak to shanghai about all of this since i never went. i know it definitely has a reputation for being super cosmopolitan but i suspect in terms of language learning it will be about the same and you'll be able to find ways to practice chinese if you seek out things that aren't geared towards foreigners (though myabe it will be harder, idk). i can definitely say it's not as good as beijing though ;)
(and don't worry too much about squat toilets, you get used to them!)
Thanks so much for you insight - I really appreciate it!
Super encouraging to hear that people will be willing to practice with me. The campuses in Shanghai are in the Minhang district which is less touristy as I understand so I'm hoping to be able to find cool people off campus.
Unfortunate to hear about language partners, but that does make sense.
Really encouraging to hear that you loved Beijing! I ran into someone who had studied there. They enjoyed it too, but spoke enviously of Shanghai so I was really unsure. They were there a long time ago tho. Still undecided on where I'll go, but this is super great to hear! Even if I don't study there, I'll be sure to visit!
(and thanks! even with some apprehension, I'm excited for the new experience!)
Is it okay if I send you some more questions about your experience in Beijing?

Fried Shrimp Dumplings
07th January, 2024 In Indonesia, shrimp dumplings is one of my favourite foods. And the dumplings skin is very crunchy. So today, I decided to make it by my own. The dumplings skin in China, is very different with dumpling skin in Indonesia. The dumpling skin in China, can’t be very crunchy, maybe because it was made to be a soft skin and not the crunchy one. So it was really hard to looking for…

Why study MBBS in CHINA?
Chinese Government Medical Universities Approved by WHO (World Health Organization). Medical education is 6 years including 1 year of experience. You can pass the MCI screening test and once you pass you can start practicing medicine anywhere in India.
A top Chinese medical university that provides affordable medical education with quality education. Chinese medical schools may not have very strict entry requirements, but this does not translate into a lack of quality education. Study MBBS in China is almost similar to medical courses in top Indian medical courses.
According to the Medical Council of India list, there are 45 MCI approved universities in China. As one of the best medical consultants in India, we recommend one of the top 10 universities that have A+ and A ratings. Right now, more than 2000 Indian students are studying MBBS in China. Chinese universities are second to none in terms of infrastructure and technology.
According to the demand for MBBS abroad, the criteria are also high. All universities have a high standard of criteria for international students. Getting a place at a top university is not easy. Also, be informed about cheap bilingual universities.
