Abstract  Under the process of globalization, transnational immigrant groups have become a realistic carrier of cultural exchanges, conflicts and renegotiations between different regions and countries. Their original food cultures are challenged to varying degrees and collide and integrate with local food cultures, often caught in the dilemma of maintaining the culture of the origin and integrating into the local dietary pattern, resulting in serious dietary acculturation problems. This paper reviews the domestic and international research on dietary acculturation of transnational immigrants, and finds that the disciplinary paradigm of nutrition science has dominated early research, focusing on the material attributes of diets and direct observation of the level of dietary adaptation of transnational immigrants, with little discussion on the embodiments and subjectivities, local relations and cultural implications of dietary acculturation. Research on transnational migrant dietary acculturation from a cultural geography perspective has focused on the following three aspects:The dynamic process of dietary acculturation guided by trans-local subjectivity at the body scale, the production and reconstruction of transnational dietary landscapes at the local scale, and the complex relationship between dietary acculturation and identity at the interactive scale of body and place. The paper concludes by proposing possible topics for future research on dietary acculturation of transnational immigrants. As China has become an emerging destination for transnational migrants. The research on dietary acculturation not only helps to guide new theoretical trends in food geography, but also contributes to the promotion of social integration of transnational immigrants in China, the development of a diverse and balanced urban foodscape, and the enhancement of the soft power of food culture.
