The city wakes up in its breakfast
Travellers tend to treat breakfast as a step before setting off, but on the upper and middle Yangtze the morning stalls hold a city's steadiest rhythm. The seasoning, the staple and the opening hours all describe how a place works.
The best method is not a must-eat list. Eat near where you are staying two mornings in a row and watch the people around the same table.
