When we asked people living in China about good local restaurants, they mentioned...

"People living in China typically buy groceries and do other shopping at local markets, supermarkets, convenience stores, and online stores. Many people also shop at specialty stores for items such as fresh produce, meat, and seafood. Additionally, people may visit department stores, shopping malls, and street vendors for a variety of items," commented one expat who made the move to China.
