Breakfast
In the morning, take a bus to the Sichuan Cuisine Museum in Chengdu, a national third-level museum. Here, you can enjoy the fun of cooking Sichuan cuisine by yourself and appreciate the beauty of Sichuan-style architecture.
Experience programs:
1. Appreciate the Ancient (Visit the Collection Hall) and Stroll in the Garden: An English-speaking guide will accompany you throughout the tour, explaining and introducing thousands of cultural relics and ancient books from ancient Shu to modern times, and sharing the dietary stories of the Shu people over a thousand years.
2. Taste Snacks: Cold noodles from northern Sichuan, stone-ground tofu pudding, Zhong dumplings... The snacks change with the seasons. You can enjoy them while walking, recreating the surprise of old Chengdu people seeking delicious food in the streets and alleys.
3. Make Sichuan Cuisine: Put on a professional chef's uniform and, under the guidance of a famous chef, make three classic Sichuan dishes: Kung Pao Chicken, Panda Dumplings, and Mapo Tofu. The chief chef of the Sichuan Cuisine Museum, who holds the title of "China's Master Chef", will personally comment on your dishes and award you a "Sichuan Cuisine Expert" certificate.
In the afternoon, we will head to Dujiangyan, a World Cultural Heritage site and a 5A-level national scenic area. It is located in the northwest of Chengdu and was constructed under the supervision of Li Bing, the governor of Shu Prefecture during the State of Qin in the Warring States Period, along with his son. It has a history of over 2,300 years. The "Blue Tears" light show at the South Bridge at night is a popular spot for taking photos and sharing on social media, combining historical value and scenic charm.
Return to the hotel for rest in the evening and end the day's itinerary. If you still have spare time, you can freely wander around Chengdu at night and explore more fun. Recommended itinerary: Nine-Eye Bridge (with many bars), Night Cruise on Jinjiang River (boat tour), Fuqin Night Market (old Chengdu flavor), Jinli Ancient Street (enjoy the night view), Twin Towers (huge LED screen).

Lunch is included – either at the museum's restaurant or a nearby authentic eatery. Vegetarian, vegan, or other dietary options are available – just inform us in advance, and we'll arrange it.
What transportation is provided for this tour?
We provide private, comfortable car/van service with a professional, English-speaking driver for the entire day – including hotel pickup and drop-off in Chengdu and all transfers to the museum, Dujiangyan, and the light show venue. You won't have to worry about navigation, parking, or taxis. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Are entrance fees, cooking class, and the light show included in the price?
These are generally not included in the base price, but we can pre-purchase a combined package for you at a competitive rate covering the museum admission, cooking class, Dujiangyan entrance fee, and light show ticket. This saves you time and queuing. Just let us know, and we'll handle everything in advance.
How physically demanding is this tour? Is it suitable for seniors or children?
The tour involves moderate walking – at the museum (indoor, flat), Dujiangyan (uneven paths and some stairs), and the light show (seated or standing). Most people, including seniors and children, can manage comfortably. If you have mobility concerns, let us know and we can adjust the pace or suggest easier routes. We also offer wheelchair-friendly options upon request.
Are there any shopping stops or extra costs I should be aware of?
This is a pure cultural and culinary experience – no forced shopping stops. At the museum gift shop, you may purchase spices or souvenirs voluntarily. We recommend bringing some cash for personal items, snacks, or tips. We'll provide a clear list of inclusions and exclusions before departure, so you know exactly what to expect.
