Description
Good to Know
Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of Shanghai with the "Market-to-Table" cooking experience. Begin your day at a lively local market, where you will engage in the "Market Haggling Challenge," testing your negotiation skills to secure fresh ingredients while practicing essential Mandarin phrases. After your market adventure, transition to a professional kitchen where an expert chef guides you in crafting your own authentic Chinese dish from scratch. Enjoy a communal lunch featuring your culinary creations, alongside delightful side dishes, fostering connections and sharing stories with fellow food enthusiasts.
Meals
You will meet your local guide at Shanghai Library Metro Station for a short pre-tour briefing. Our experience starts promptly at 4:00 PM, so please arrive 10 minutes early for check-in. Then, head to Wuzhong Market, an authentic local wet market, to immerse yourself in everyday Shanghai life. Take part in a fun ingredient shopping challenge, practice bargaining with local vendors, and pick up practical daily Chinese phrases along the way.
After the market exploration, join a hands-on Chinese cooking class led by a professional chef. Follow step-by-step instructions to cook your own authentic classic Chinese dish. Afterwards, sit back and enjoy your self-made meal, share wonderful moments with travel companions, and take home an exclusive recipe card as well as a souvenir experience certificate.
Spend a relaxing half day diving into genuine Shanghai local life, traditional food culture, and engaging interactive activities all in one tour.
