DINING
There are 3 major dining halls on Handan campus, one in each section of the campus. They are called the South Campus Dining Hall, Main Campus Dining Hall and the North Campus Dining Hall. Nearest to the Foreign Students Dorm is the North Campus Dining Hall. At each of these dining halls, a variety of Chinese food and desserts are available at relatively low prices. (7-10rmb for a decent meal) There’s also a Islamic dining area and 5th Avenue fastfood in North Campus Dining Hall, catering to the eating habits of the minority groups and adding to the variety of food choices for local students, too.
To eat at these dining halls, you will have to charge money into the e-campus card. Charge stations can usually be found near the west entrance of each dining hall.
General Tips:
1) Service hours at these dining halls are relatively short (10:30-13:00, 5th Avenue fastfood serves longer time). Due to the large number of students living on campus, food run out really fast. So GO EARLY if you would like to eat at these dining halls.
2) The staffs at these dining halls usually don’t speak English, some basic knowledge about Chinese food in advance can be very helpful.
3) If you prefer to eat the food at some other places rather than in the dining hall, you can ask for disposable meal boxes to have the food “to go”.
There are also a variety of dining options around the Foreign Student Dorm (FSD). Exploring different restaurants and experimenting with new food around campus is sure to be a pleasant experience.
Right on Wuchuan Road, where your dorm is located, there are dozens of restaurants that offer a wide selection of Chinese regional food, such as northeastern Chinese food, Sichuan food, Cantonese food, etc. A fair number of Korean restaurants can also be found around the FSD, suiting to the needs of the big Korean population living in the dorm. But they are also among the most frequented restaurants by local Chinese students.
There’s also a famous “Fudan Street” next to Zhengsu Road in the south section of the campus. Restaurants on this street are popular among local Chinese Students. Owning to the presence of these restaurants, along with a handful of bookstores, music stores and gift shops, the street is thought to be the busiest around the whole campus.
Tip: Many of the restaurants around campus have free food delivery service. Grab one of those brochures with simple menus on it, you can have the food delivered to your door next time!
