Perfect day in Chengdu

We had an absolutely fantastic day with Jerrie! 🌟 The day began with a visit to the Panda Centre – an unforgettable experience! Afterwards we had lunch at a temple, far from the usual tourist trails, which made the moment special. Then we went to the local market to buy all the ingredients for our cooking class. In the cooking class itself, Jerrie guided us through the preparation of the dishes with a lot of patience and expertise. We can’t wait to recook the recipes in Germany! 🤩 Jerrie r...read more

This tour includes three...

This tour consists of three elements. A visit to a panda center, a visit to a monastery in the city center with a vegetarian meal and a preparation of some dishes with food bought at the market. Jerry was very enthusiastic and accommodating. The prepared dishes were interesting and allowed to explore some local cuisine. Jerry knows the vendors at the market, which makes visiting more enjoyable

Panda zoo and cooking class

Our travel party of 15 went to the panda base zoo and experienced an afternoon cooking class with both Jerry and Lance. They were both kind and friendly. They accommodated our dietary restrictions (e.g. vegetarian) without an issue. Everything was run smoothly and they spoke English well. I would recommend this activity if you have time in Chengdu!

Amazing altogether, hard to describe in a few words… Hang (Lance) was an amazing guide and a super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful person. We learned a lot from today and recommend this experience to anyone visiting Chengdu. This is a must do to fully understand and experience the Sichuan culture. Thank you again !! Alexa & Grant

Great experience with Panda's and cooking!

My friend and I had a fun and relaxing day out with our guide, Ocean! Thank you :) The pandas were adorable and Ocean was always able to find us the best viewing spot. We then had some local Sichuan snacks and noodles while enjoying some tea. It would have been better to have more time to sit and chat but we had a meal to prepare. The market tour was interesting and Ocean introduced us to all the different vegetables, meat and spices that are available. And to top off the day, we made an amazin...read more
