Stop using Google Maps to find video in China, here's what locals actually do. First, download a map and dumping, switch them to English, that's all I need. Now here are two situations. If you don't want to eat nearby, open a map, search location, type search nearby, search, short by recommended, you will immediately say nearby restaurants with ratings and distance. Remember, only go for places about 4.5, but don't go there yet. Copy the name, open dumping, paste it. Small tip, mm translations can be a bit off. Just search the pain name only, delay the English card and it should work. Now you can actually see what this is to serve, what they are known for, or photos from locals. This type of law will help you avoid most tourist traps. If you already found a place online, copy the name, paste it into dumping, type a bit's legit, photos, menus, reviews, then tap the address. It will jump directly into aim app, so you can navigate there instantly. Here is one thing most foreigners don't know. Some popular restaurant requires waiting and until ping, you can actually get a Q number online, but you will need a tiny phone number for that. Overall, you'll still need to decide what to eat, plus aim app to get there. That's exactly how locals do it. I'm Ting, a bit in tour guide. If you'd rather not spend time figuring out where to eat, be a me. I'll take you to the spot locals actually go.
