An Interesting Fact
* I wrote too much about some tiny little things in my life, which I don't think is attractive to many friends. I'll try to write something interesting or useful.
Guess which city has the most coffee shops per capita in mainland China?
If you know China a lot, you might say Shanghai.
Indeed, Shanghai has the largest number of cafes, and most of them are pretty good. But when it comes to per capita, it's Lasa, the capital city of Xizang.
When I visited Lasa, I just found that old generations like teahouses. As I walked into the famous Guangming Sweet Teahouse, almost all the locals were old people.
As to the young generation, they find their drinks. Obviously, coffee stands out among them.

To me, a cafe isn’t the same as a coffee shop. A coffee shop primarily serves coffee, and might not serve anything else, whereas a cafe might serve just about anything, and coffee might not even be their specialty.
But when it comes to per capita, it's Lhasa, the capital city of Xizang (Tibet).
The city is spelled “Lhasa” with an H, and we call the area by the old name, Tibet. Few Westerners would recognize “Xizang” but most have heard of Tibet. :-)
The government also uses the “Lhasa” and “Tibet” spellings in official English publications, for example:

“As” would be appropriate if you were describing something that occurred at the moment you entered the tea house, for example, “As I walked into the tea house, my nostrils were assailed by the slightly rancid odor of ghee.”

Feedback
So, are you saying that Lhasa has the greatest per-capita number of coffee shops (shops that specialize in coffee), or cafes (shops that might specialize in coffee, tea, food, etc.)? I would expect Lhasa to have more tea shops than coffee shops, but I’m probably wrong. :-P

I mean coffee shops.
Thanks again.
I believe Lhasa has more coffee shops than traditional tea shops. However, in China, most coffee shops also offer modern-style tea, including Starbucks.

Amazing! Thanks for writing about this and teaching me something new. :-)
BTW, I also enjoy your posts about tiny little things in your life. :-)
