IS IT OK TO CARRY SOME INDIAN SPICES FROM INDIA TO DALIAN

Hello
     I would not suggest that you carry a lot of spices with you although it is allowed but they can confiscate it at airport security if they want to and also for 15 months you can not bring enough.  Food is good here you will just need to find the places you like. I have been to one market where i saw spices similar to what we get at home. I just don't remember the name for it. I will suggest come and enjoy the local delicacies. Don't worry i always tell my friends there are more chinese people then indian they must be eating something good

Thank you my friend ..
I appreciate your prompt reply .
It's always good to connect to our very own Indian friends ..
How ever just in case if you still recollect the name of the store / shop
Do let us know.. I am just trying to gather as much as information as possible..
ALL THE BEST ...

Request my other friends also to kindly reply with information..

Hi
Welcome to China! Dalian is a very beautiful beach city.
I stayed in India for 4 years, last year i cam back to Shenzhen.
Indian spices and masalas are available in some cities where many Indians reside, like Shenzhen, Guangzhou,Hongkong, Ningbo, Shanghai and Beijing.
In Dalian, you may be able to find them in some selected shops or supermarkets like Walmart.
Plus, you can get the spices in any Indian restaurants in China. In any major city,you will be able to find an Indian restaurant.
All been said,if you can carry a suitcase full of indian spices and food, that will be enough for a long time.
No problem with Chinese Customs.
Have a good time there in Dalian!
