This travel vlog follows Vegan In China, Alex, as she explores the beautiful city of Dali in Yunnan Province. Alex aims to document her daily expenses in Dali, starting with a coffee shop visit. She notes that many coffee shops don't open until 11:00 a.m., a common occurrence in China. They start their day with two coffees, an oat milk latte, and an Americano for 73 RMB, noting that coffee tends to be a more expensive item in China. Alex then takes a Didi, a ride-hailing service, to Veggie Arc, a vegetarian space, for lunch. The Didi costs 10 RMB, cheaper than similar rides in Beijing.
At Veggie Arc, Alex enjoys a buffet featuring a wide array of vegetables, tofu, pizza, and a unique sweet dessert pizza. She tries C Gua (bitter melon), a new vegetable, finding it surprisingly balanced. After the buffet, she indulges in vegan milk tea and ice cream. The afternoon brings a change in Dali's atmosphere, with the city waking up after a siesta. Alex marvels at the vibrant evening scene and finds it easy to get lost in the beauty of the streets and the many sights to see.
For dinner, Alex chooses a restaurant, highlighting the importance of being cautious about lard and pork oil in Yunnan cuisine. She orders a vegetable dish with five different types of vegetables, including lofa greens and flowers, and a tofu dish with a bit of a 'chu' (fermented tofu) flavor. She also orders a mushroom dish wrapped in bamboo or banana leaves, noting that the food is an experience in itself. Alex concludes her day by summarizing her expenses: 391.58 RMB for two people, less than 200 RMB per person. She invites viewers to share their opinions on her spending and how much they typically spend while traveling. The vlog showcases the affordability and delicious vegan food options available in Dali, Yunnan, and emphasizes the importance of communication when ordering to ensure vegan-friendly options.
