What can I eat in China?

Chinese staple diet is rice and for me too. But the preparation is altogether different.

In Madras, Chinese food is available widely and I too like their fried rice, Schezwan noodles etc.
But the same food if eaten in China might contain other ingredients apart from vegetables.

In various travelogues, I read about visitors' experience on the nature of Chinese food. Chinese eat a lot of meat varieties and it is believed that one can find meat pieces even in vegetarian food-is that so?

My husband wants to see the great China wall and news about food bothers him. He is also a vegetarian like me.

I am aware that all the Indian vegetables are available in China but we are still hesitant to go there.
