Food & drink

Try Gan cuisine: it is spicy and often stir-fried. Ask for 'bu la' (not spicy) if you need it mild.
Nanchang rice noodles (banfen) with peanuts and chili are the classic cheap breakfast; expect a few CNY to about ¥15.
Wash it down with wa-guan-tang, a salty soup steamed in small clay pots.
Evening street food near universities and old lanes is cheap and lively; pick stalls with a queue of locals.
