- Yeah, that is probably true, people cook with a lot of oil because we need to fry them. But there are also steam food and boiled food. Talking about gaining weight, people may gain more weight from western food due to a lot of fat (cheese, butter....) and sugar (desert), while the Chinese eat more vegetables and grains.

- This is surely because of the idea of stir frys etc - this can be true but as long as it is eaten in moderation. A lot of the ingredients are very good for you and are only lightly fried - the oil should be the smallest quantity in the dish and therefore the meal is on the whole low in saturated fat or good cholesterol.
Believe me, eating out / tourist food in every country is extremely fatty if you don't vary your diet or take regular exercise. - Vote(2)

- i have been in china for 6 weeks now and have lost weight even though i eat treats, and mostly eat at restaurants. the food is very different from my diet at home and i find the bones in the meat not to my taste so tend to eat fried noddles or friend rice. i also try the local dishes of where ever i am. most of my meals are very oily and when my Chinese friends cook they use a lot of oil. but as you will find you do a lot of walking in china so it kind of evens things out i think. i definitely feel more toned since i got here and have dropped a dress size already so i really would not worry about the oil if it is only a holiday.

- I live in China for 3 years already and eat much Chinese food. When I came here, I loose weight very quickly. 95 to 77 kilo in 3-4 months. But some of my friends only gain weight here. So, I think it depends on your metabolism.

- I totally disagree, because chinese food is versatile, they can be sweet, salty, sour and spicy and that depend on the native eating habit and their living life style. Do you know that people how do hard work and sweat alot, they take more salt than normal people.
My point is not what dishes you had, is depend on people that cook the foods. - Vote(0)

- I''ve been studying in China for a year. They do use a lot of oil. My host grandma uses a lot. Even my friend''s host mom claims that China uses a lot of oil in their food, especially her own housekeeper which she tries her best to tell her not to use so much. I think the only fresh food I had, was this kind of radish mixed with sesame oil, salt and pepper. Not fried or cooked in anyway. In addition, I''ve eaten really oily food to the point of having oil dripping down my chin. It''s causing me acne problems. I had to switch to a stronger acne cleanser. For gaining weight though, I''m not so sure. You would be traveling so people tend to gain more weight since they''re trying new foods in different countries. So far, I haven''t gained weight, but I know many other students who have since the food is cheaper here causing them to spend more money on food and snacks.

- Not always. There are lots of Chinese food that are steamed. As a rule of thumb, especially in seafood, they only steam the freshest ones. For example, it is most likely the steamed fish is much fresher than a fish cooked in thick and spicy sauce.

- Regional cultural differences vary greatly amongst the different regions of China, giving rise to the different styles of food. There are eight main regional cuisines, or Eight Great Traditions: Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan, and Zhejiang. Occasionally, Beijing cuisine and Shanghai cuisine are also cited along with the aforementioned eight regional styles as the Ten Great Traditions. There are also featured Buddhist and Muslim sub-cuisines within the greater Chinese cuisine, with an emphasis on vegetarian and halal-based diets respectively. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_cuisine
