Currently, the tourism industry is booming not only within China but worldwide, and for many Chinese tourists, although China has a vast land area and numerous tourist attractions, it can no longer satisfy the needs of some travelers. In this situation, many people with economic ability or who want to broaden their horizons have chosen to travel abroad. In fact, outbound tourism in China has a long history, and many people who travel abroad, besides gaining experience and exploring, also want to experience the classic cuisine of different countries around the world.
Currently, the most frequently visited countries by Chinese tourists are some Southeast Asian countries near China. The reason why many Southeast Asian countries are attractive to Chinese tourists is not only because they are close to China, but also because these countries have very distinctive cuisine.
