FAQs (From the traveler's perspective)

Q: What was your favorite dish from the Xinjiang restaurant?
A: The lamb skewers were extremely juicy and flavorful, unlike other Cantonese or Shanghai food we've tried. The spices really stuck with me!
Q: What was the most surprising thing about the Jing'an Temple?
A: How modern the surrounding buildings were! It was insane to see skyscrapers right next to such an ancient temple. Also, the fact that it cost 50 RMB to enter was a bit unexpected.
Q: What were the mooncakes like?
A: The meat and truffle mooncakes were interesting! They were cold and very heavy. The truffle sausage inside was tasty, but I prefer them warm.
