Dianping is where locals look before going out to eat: stars, thousands of photo reviews, “recommended dishes” and the average spend per person. It belongs to Meituan, so places and deals are shared.
What Dianping can do
Step by step
Pick a restaurant
Rating, photos of the room and dishes, opening hours and the address in Chinese — handy to show a taxi driver.
Buy deals
团购 set menus and vouchers are noticeably cheaper than menu prices — you buy them in advance and show the code at the till.
Find things to do
Beyond food — cafés, massage, karaoke, museums and parks, all with visitor reviews.
