Abstract With the intensification of global population mobility, the daily life practice and local meaning construction of transnational immigrants have become new research topics, and diet has become a key lens for insight into the social interaction between immigrants and host countries. This process inevitably has contact and interaction with the host society, and directly contributes to diverse geographical encounters. To this end, this paper raises three research questions: How do the daily dietary practices of transnational immigrants contribute to diverse geographical encounters? What are the results of geographical encounters? What is the mechanism behind it? This paper intends to select Guangzhou as the case, invoke the concept of encounter in geography, and adopt qualitative research methods to focus on the geographical encounter between transnational immigrants and different subjects in the daily dietary practice, and analyze the significance of such encounter for their integration into the host country society, with a view to enriching the relevant research on encounter and migration geography in geography. To provide suggestions for the social integration of transnational immigrants in big cities of China under the background of mobility. The study found that: 1) transnational immigrants interact with the host society in different dietary spaces, promoting diverse geographical encounters. 2) The geographical encounter of transnational immigrants in the public eating space not only promotes the result of social integration, but also deepens the gap between individuals and the host country due to the social and cultural differences between them. 3) The daily diet practices and geographical encounters of transnational immigrants are driven by subjective factors, strengthened by social factors and supported by local factors.
