Experience Details

This is a private one-day tour event, and we will greet you with your name in the lobby of your hotel at 8:00 in the morning! We drove to the Panda Base for a free tour (this is the hometown of pandas). Please note that there is no tour guide, it takes about 3 hours! You go back to the parking lot and we drive to the Sichuan Cuisine Museum. Here, you can taste dozens of Chengdu's specialty snacks for lunch. After lunch, an English speaking guide will lead us to visit the museum and explain knowledge about Sichuan cuisine. Finally, we will learn to make three authentic Sichuan cuisine experiences. After the dishes are finished, we will have dinner today. At the end, we will receive a learning certificate as a commemoration! Our driver safely escorts you back to the hotel and has a perfect day!

Sichuan Cuisine Museum

Sichuan Cuisine Museum is the only “EATABLE MUSEUM”, showing travelers a new way to experience Sichuan cuisine culture. Taking a visit to this museum, you can not only learn Sichuan cuisine culture by using eyes and ears, but also enjoy it by using mouth and nose. Interesting, meaningful and featured activities are specially designed from you enter the museum to leave. The highlighted experience for your visit should be the typical Sichuan dishes cooking under the guidance of the professional chef. There is arguably no better way to know more about a cuisine than learning how to cook it yourself. By cooking on your own, you’ll have in-depth understanding about slicing technique, fire control, the procedure of accomplishing the dish and of course, get some ideas about the essences of Sichuan cuisine. Start your exploration from Sichuan Cuisine Museum, enjoy different aspects of Sichuan cuisine, satisfy your curiosity and taste buds and experience all fun for “Playing with Chuancais”.
