Ty Ba Vien restaurant in Chongqing is recognized by Guinness as the world's largest hotpot restaurant, capable of serving 5,851 diners simultaneously in an outdoor space spanning 3,300 square meters.

Many diners accept queuing to wait for the herbal salted quail egg dish made in Chinese style.

Despite its off-putting name, 'cow dung hotpot' is a cherished delicacy in Guizhou, China, prized by locals for its purported health benefits, including clearing internal heat and nourishing the body.

Dubbed the "hardest-to-swallow" dish in the world, stone stir-fried with garlic and chili in China sparks curiosity as diners only suck the seasoning off the outside.
