Yeah, you can find vegetarian food in China, especially in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou. There are quite a few veggie restaurants (some even run by Buddhists), and Indian restaurants are usually easy to find too.
That said, it can be a bit tricky sometimes, especially in smaller cities or local spots. A lot of dishes might use meat stock, fish sauce, or even cook veggies with bits of pork. So it’s a good idea to learn or carry phrases like “I don’t eat meat” or “I’m vegetarian” in Chinese — or just show it on your phone.
For Hindus or strict vegetarians, it’s totally doable—just needs a bit more attention. Apps like HappyCow can help you find vegetarian places nearby.
