Discover the rich flavors of China, one province at a time.
Chinese restaurants have opened all around the world, but the dishes served there are typically Chinese lunch and dinner foods. So, what do Chinese people eat for breakfast? Very few people know.
In this breakfast series, we travel across the country to explore how each region starts the day — from crispy street snacks to hearty noodle soups. Join us for an authentic taste of local life, culture, and, of course, amazing Chinese breakfasts.

This episode takes us to Beijing, the capital of China.
As the largest migrant city in northern China, Beijing has gathered breakfast traditions from across the entire north—creating a truly diverse morning food scene.
But what stands out most are the local Beijing breakfasts. Famous nationwide for being "unusual", they’re dishes that even many Chinese outsiders struggle to enjoy—yet to true Beijingers, they’re beloved classics.
As I’ve mentioned before, we want you to not only experience the breakfast culture of each region, but also catch a glimpse of its unique scenery. So we’ve added three minutes of stunning Beijing cityscapes at the start of this video—hope you’ll enjoy it.
🥢 Let’s discover together: What makes Beijing’s breakfast culture so unique?
