Zhaoqing is a scenic city about 2 hours west of Guangzhou, in Guangdong Province. It is famous for its Seven Crags park, which has just that number of craggy limestone mountains, which are similar to those of the famous Yangshuo and Guilin. These pictures are from a weekend trip in Fall 2004.

I've only seen people eat snakes when I went to Shenzhen.

I haven't seen anyone eat cats yet but I have seen one dog meat restaurant in Guangzhou, but nowhere in northern China.

HAHA, some Western people tease Chinese people by saying they eat everything

regarding the eating of dogs, from my China Culture Shock book...

"Fear not. There is no way in the world anyone will be served dog instead of beef in a Chinese restaurant anywhere on earth. One reason this is unlikely is simple economics.

Chinese, especially in the south, do eat dogs in winter. But they are normally the plump Zhou puppies with black tongues, specially bred for the stew pot. Restaurants are not going to feed this delicacy to ignorant foreigners, if only because Zhou flesh costs about 15 times more than prime beef. it is eaten for medicinal purposes (it is supposed to make the blood thick and protect the elderly against winter chills) and is very difficult to find.

Nobody is going to waste this on a foreign devil who wouldn't appreciate such a fine dish."

snakes, 恐怖啊———————

Hello

Does anyone have any pictures of Zhaoqing City in the southern Province of Guangdong?

Cheers

You're in luck. I took a weekend trip there last fall and loved it. I'll be returning. You should try to make it there someday. Charming little city.

See the rest of the Zhaoqing photos right HERE (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jessewarren/sets/275666/). I will upload more later.

Wait a second, I just realized I posted a thread about this last year so I dug it up. You can see all the pictures in full size at: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=211666

I have eaten dog 3-4 times it really makes you feel warm when its cold weather. belive it or not...

Old men eat dogs in korea ^.^ they say it makes them feel "healthy.."

The wierdest meat i've eaten was bear meat... but it tasted like lamb lol :)

I think those are eels not snakes.

I heard dogs have a lot of protein in them, so it does invigorate you in a way.

nice pics Jesse!

I've had soup with bits of snake in it in Hong Kong

我很喜欢肇庆的特产：
裹蒸粽和天葵花茶。

I can't imagine eating dogs... especially when mine is quietly sleeping at my foot...

狗狗是人类最好的朋友，我非常喜欢狗。
盘古老大，你的狗是什么品种？叫什么名字？

你也養狗嗎？

我的狗是雜種的。她是小時候被別人拋棄掉因為後腿受傷了結果我在路上撿回去的。不過今天她腿的傷老早好了 :)

我叫她 "寶寶" 不是太有創意的名字，我知道。 :)

家母反对，所以没养。
其实狗是什么品种无所谓，只要它可爱对人友善就行了。
另外，大陆的宠友一般把杂交狗叫做“串串”。 :cheers:
