Mindful meoweler tips

Zhangzhou's cuisine is not to be missed

From oyster omelette to sweet potato noodles, there's something for every cat's taste buds in this foodie paradise.

Don't forget to explore Zhangzhou's natural beauty

Take a hike up Tianzhu Mountain, or relax by the coast at Dongshan Island. The scenery will take your breath away.

Get ready for some feline-friendly manners

Many Chinese people will bow or nod instead of shaking paws. And while it's considered rude to leave food on your plate in some cultures, it's polite in China!
