Are they used much in China? I figure maybe the South West - like near Yunnan possibly but anywhere else?  I don't think they're too common in Vietnam either although I think I saw them used a time or two near Saigon but I don't think I ever saw them used in Hanoi or central areas like Hue or Hoi An.

 

No, not at all in China that I've ever seen. I can get them but they are imported from Thailand usually dried, but very occasionally fresh.

I did see them fresh once in a market in HCMC, Vietnam but don't recall ever eating them there.
