On China's lifestyle-sharing social media platform, many young people share their dining experiences at community canteens. Under some posts, other users can't help but admire the dishes or ask where the canteens are located, or whether similar canteens exist in their neighborhoods.
The community canteen is usually a government-subsidized canteen that aims to bring affordability and convenience to senior citizens in urban neighborhoods and villages around China.
"With more and more young diners, the canteen will have better profits, which encourages our staff. Nowadays, we have more confidence in keeping the canteen open for a long time. Only in this way, we can provide quality dining services for the elderly for a longer time," a staff worker said.
