That little guy? He’s what’s for dinner… at least in Yulin for a day. In the southwestern Chinese city, people eat dogs on the summer solstice festival, and about 10,000 dogs are killed and consumed. Dog meat’s believed to bring good luck and health. That gives an entirely new meaning to “the dog days of summer.”

Ghost marriages are legally binding nuptials in which, one or both parties involved, are dead. What started it all is an unknown story but, the probable reasons as to why such practice is encouraged, are mostly to do with societal expectations like- a widow can show her eternal love for her deceased husband, and families can have their unmarried deceased children marry in afterlife.


6. Chinese Nap

They nap just about anywhere, including the rail tracks! Chinese people are very particular about their afternoon naps (wujiao). In fact, in Chinese schools, a duration of 30 minutes post lunch is scheduled especially to catch on with some slumber. However, the bizarre things about their napping habit is the fact that they sleep just about “anywhere”!

“Virgin Boy Egg” is a popular Chinese delicacy. And the recipe is crazier than its name! Urine of young virgin boys (preferably of age below 10), is collected from school toilets. For preparation, eggs are soaked and boiled in the collected urine. The “delicacy” is sold for 1.50 yuan!


8. Rented boyfriend!

In China, for a woman to not get hitched especially around the Lunar New Year, is considered a social stigma. And to ward off the nosy relatives and family pressures, women who are not able to find love, rent one! No more forever alone ladies, no more forever alone!


9. China Copying everything

Yes, there are fake Apple stores in China, fake restaurants, fake banks — there’s just about nothing China can’t and won’t fake. You can even have a taste of England in Shanghai — thanks to Thames Town, where you can stroll down High Street, and even cross a man-made River Thames.

But what is truly shocking is the use of body doubles (ding zui- substitute criminals) to serve prison sentence on behalf of the actual convicts and, it is common! It is quite a thing amongst the elite Chinese criminals.

They might look like antagonists from Batman movies, but don’t worry. They are just protecting their skin. Bronze/tanned complexion is becoming quite a trend around the world but of course, with the exception of China. People here love their pale complexion and hence, when on beach, the ladies especially take full precaution for their complexion with the facekinis!

Anything that crawls, walks, flies, hops, swims can be served on plate in China. And Walmart here, understands that Chinese need variety. So, from frozen crocodiles to perhaps even shark meat, apparently any animal at all can be found under one roof in China!

All the swimmers can do in such heavily crowded pools is stand at their particular spots.

Another swimming pool in Yao Stink district, is alleged to accommodate a staggering 230,000 swimmers at a time! Chinese love to rock together for sure.

Walnut in one eye, ignited dry moxa leaves in one ear. Result? Cured facial paralysis. Sure traditional Chinese treatments are famous world over for their allegedly high efficacy factors, but existence of cures as bizarre and seemingly dangerous as this one is hard to digest. What’s more, apparently the practitioners of traditional Chinese medicines use ingredients as weird as tiger’s paws, crocodile‘s jaws and bear’s testicles in the medicinal preparations. And allegedly it is because they believe, the more endangered a species is, the more healing properties it will possess.

15. Everyone watches the same channel at 7pm

Wanna watch a gameshow, or see highlights on ESPN? Too bad. Every day at 7pm, every TV channel is required to live broadcast the 30-minute long news program by state-run China Central Television. And it’s been that way since 1978. So no shouting out answers in the form of questions at the TV right after dinner, unlike when you normally watch Jeopardy! after dinner.

Try thinking of the weirdest thing in your head.
