It is said there is no free lunch. But there are exceptions to the rule.
If you stay in Beijing or Shanghai, two of China's biggest cities, you'll
have an opportunity to eat for free. All you need to know is where you'll
get them.


Buffet

Some KTVs, or karaoke places like Party World offer free buffets for both
lunch and dinner. It's one of China's most famous KTVs and offers free
buffets if you sing there anytime between morning to late at night. Of
course you have to pay for the room rental to sing. The food includes
main courses, desserts, and drinks.

Lunchtime is the best period to come as fees for singing are relatively
low. You can go between 11am and 3pm when there's at least a 50 percent
discount.

Singing on weekends is more expensive, but if you are energetic enough to
sing for a whole night, it's still worthwhile, as you will have endless
supply of various fruits, snacks and drinks throughout the night.
Meanwhile, the late night hours cost you less than so-called "Golden
Hours" which is between 8pm to 12am), and from 12am to 6am the next
morning.
