A street scene we traversed as we followed leads to find one of Kaifeng's Chinese Jews. The city also has a more modern and commercial section of town, but we found the back alleys much more interesting.

How common is it to eat dog in China? One can assume those are not pets the cages with the chickens. I’ve seen in it in Vietnam, heard about Korea, but I don’t know how common it is in China.
That’s an interesting question that I didn’t even consider when I took the picture, Phil. I don’t think eating dog is as common in the Chinese north as it is in Korea (I’ve never been to Vietnam). However, as we’ve moved south, we’ve seen a number of restaurants advertising dog meat in their windows. Judging by the chickens and other “edible” animals int he picture, I’d say it’s quite possible that those dogs are heading to the frying pan. Yikes!
