Unlike many Western countries, not all restaurants in China receive a sanitation score for cleanliness and food preparation. As a result, you must choose where you dine carefully. Street food is probably not a good idea, and it is also wise to bring some antibiotics, probiotics, and other stomach relief medicines. Even properly prepared food may not sit well with a Westerner's stomach. Be patient to adjust and willing to try authentic Chinese cuisine. There are some amazing dishes; be sure to try Peking duck and hot pot, before you leave.
