What you can expect
Meet your guide at Exit D, Liangjiaxiang Metro Station (Line 6) and head to your first experience with a smooth, comfortable transfer. Arrive at a designated local cooking studio for a hands-on Sichuan Cuisine Cooking Experience.
Under the guidance of a local chef, learn to make classic dishes such as Mapo Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken, or boiled spicy vegetables—with tips on authentic flavours, chilli oil, and Sichuan peppercorn balance. After the class, enjoy the meal you’ve prepared as a delicious homemade-style lunch, paired with local rice and sides.
Next, transfer to People’s Park, the iconic “living room” of Chengdu. Settle into a century-old teahouse and experience Gaiwan Tea (lidded bowl tea), a timeless Chengdu tradition. Relax in a bamboo chair, sip jasmine or green tea, and watch locals practice tai chi, play cards, or chat—truly soaking up Chengdu’s slow, laid-back lifestyle.
Stroll through Kuanzhai Alleys, a well-preserved Qing‑style historic block blending old courtyard architecture and trendy cultural vibes. Enjoy a Hanfu experience, complete with an outfit, hairstyling, professional makeup, and guided photoshoot in traditional Chinese Hanfu. Capture elegant portraits against ancient walls and courtyards.
Interact and take photos with the famous “Bronze Man” performance artist—a beloved local icon and great souvenir shot. Your guide will share stories of Chengdu’s history, architecture, and local customs along the way.
Enjoy a hearty dinner at Meizhou Dongpo, a renowned restaurant chain specialising in Dongpo cuisine and authentic Sichuan flavours. Taste signature dishes such as Dongpo Pork, boiled fish, and seasonal Sichuan specialities in a comfortable, elegant environment.
End your day with a spectacular performance at Shufeng Yayun Opera House. Enjoy a vibrant show featuring Sichuan Opera, face-changing (Bian Lian), fire breathing, paper cutting, and comedic routines. This iconic intangible cultural heritage show is the perfect grand finale to your Chengdu day.
