Itinerary
Chengdu Back Alley Hotpot Private Dining (Half-Day)
The ultimate experience for foodies visiting Chengdu — skip the touristy restaurants and dine in a local's home. Sichuan Hotpot has a 1,700-year history. Today it comes in three styles: the "Red Pot" (spicy with chili and Sichuan peppercorns), the "White Pot" (non-spicy broth) and the "Double Pot" (both). With your guide, you'll cook both styles and learn to cut and present dishes under the direction of a professional chef. The experience also includes a unique local market visit to taste and learn about the city's culinary culture. Intimate small-group format (under 9 people) ensures personal attention.
