    Guangdong and Fujian cuisine are two of the 'eight famous cuisines' in China. Guangdong food, under the name Cantonese cuisine, has been adopted global. Though true Guangdong cuisine, or ''Yue'' (?) as it is known in China, may contain a few surprises, the essence of the style of cooking will be familiar to most visitors. Fujian cuisine (Min ?) is known for is seafood. One famous dish is "Buddha jumps over a wall", a complex chowder that supposedly smells good enough to make a vegetarian monk forget his vows and hop a fence. Hainan is also known for it's seafood.
