New Year gathering essentials | How easy is grocery shopping in China?

With the Spring Festival approaching, parties and gatherings are in full swing across China. In this video, Ammad, an international student from Pakistan, shares his experience shopping for food in China. His first stop is a clean and organized local market filled with choices. Even in winter, there's plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and even live fish.

Forgot an ingredient or decided to add another dish at the last minute? No problem. Simply pull out your phone, place an order, and fresh groceries will be at your door in no time. Missing the taste of home? Supermarkets like Olé, Metro and Sam's Club stock imported spices and snacks, making it easy to recreate familiar flavors or mix them with local cuisine.

With options like these, hosting a holiday meal in China is both easy and stress-free.
