Feature: Community canteens catering exclusively to older people


HEFEI, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- Almost every weekday, Shi Xiangmei, a 79-year-old resident in Hefei, capital of east China's Anhui Province, would take a five-minute stroll to a canteen that caters exclusively to the elderly and enjoy her lunch there.

This special canteen, which is less than 150 square meters, is located in the Yicang Community. Shi usually orders a set meal with one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, as well as rice and soup, costing 9 yuan (about 1.3 U.S. dollars).
