Platform vendors at Lanzhou
The food in the dining car of Chinese trains does vary, but in general is failry good quality. The menu is almost always only in chinese script, but if, like me, you struggle with Chinese script, the waitress will read it for you in Pinyin.
Actually, it is amazing what they can create - especially when the restaurant is not busy - so asking fror your favourite dishes can work.
The 'no smoking' rule is enforced on some trains, not on others.
Many people eat at their seats either from the carts that cruise along the train at mealtimes or by buying from platform vendors when the train pulls into a station. Note that the vendors do not station themselves outside the door of soft class sleepers!
Favorite Dish: Depends on the train!
Comparison: less expensive than average
Price: less than US$10
