I went to the first three. Kunming was a bore in my opinion but very much enjoyed yunnan as a whole. Lijiang is great and I've heard only amazing things about shangri-la. You must be practising your mandarin so much- it's the only way to travel- speaking in the native tongue. Very jealous that you're over there and nice to hear your updates! Ps if you haven't been to chengdu yet, check out the panda conservatory. I missed it b/c - was in such a rush. There's also a GREAT snacking street there- very famous. Solid areas you’re hitting up.

Mantou, noodles, jianbing and jiaozi are all traditional staples of Northern China, readily available in Beijing, and neither oily or spicy. The traditional Northern diet is also extremely low in oil, meat and fat, so much so that after a while your body will crave oil. Hence the need for foods such as youtiao. Red pepper spicy hot comes from Hebei, a mid-chinese province, not really Northern. I would describe Northern Chinese food as more bland and low in oil. China, at over 1.3B people, will have a huge variation in diet, all yours to explore and discover. Southern Chinese and HK food are insignificant when compared to what the rest of China offers.
