  • Sichuan Cuisine Museum -- Qingcheng Mountain
 
In the morning, take a bus to Chengdu Sichuan Cuisine Museum, a national third-level museum. Here, you can enjoy the fun of cooking Sichuan cuisine with your own hands and admire the beauty of Sichuan-style architecture.

 

Experience items:
  1. Ancient Appreciation (Visit the Collection Hall) and Garden Tour: An English-speaking experience guide will accompany you throughout the visit and explanation. You can appreciate thousands of cultural relics and classics from the ancient Shu period to the present, and listen to the food stories of the Shu people over thousands of years.
  2. Tasting Snacks: Try Chuanbei cold noodles, stone-ground tofu pudding, Zhong dumplings... The snacks change with the seasons, allowing you to eat while walking, recreating the surprise of old Chengdu people looking for delicious food on the streets and alleys.
  3. Sichuan Cuisine Cooking: Put on professional chef clothes and learn to cook three classic Sichuan dishes under the guidance of famous chefs: Kung Pao Chicken, Panda Steamed Dumplings, and Mapo Tofu. The chief chef of the museum, who holds the title of "China's Famous Cooking Master", will personally comment on your dishes and issue a "Sichuan Cuisine Expert" certificate.
In the afternoon, head to Mount Qingcheng, one of China's sacred mountains of Taoism. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its serene beauty, with ancient Taoist temples and lush green spaces, offering a peaceful retreat immersed in nature and culture.
Note: We will arrange a visit to either Mount Qingcheng or the Dujiangyan Irrigation System according to the season and your needs. It is not recommended to visit Mount Qingcheng in summer and winter (in summer, there are many mosquitoes and the temperature is high; in winter, the temperature is low, there may be snow, and the roads are slippery). It is recommended to visit Mount Qingcheng in spring and autumn, and Dujiangyan in summer and winter.
Return to the hotel in the evening to rest and end the one-day trip. If you have some free time, you can explore Chengdu at night and discover more fun. Recommended itineraries: Jiuyan Bridge (with many bars), Night Tour of Jinjiang (boat tour), Fuqin Night Market (with old Chengdu flavors), Jinli Ancient Street (enjoy the night view), and Twin Towers (with huge LED screens).

Q & A

What is the weather like in Chengdu and Qingcheng Mountain, and what should I pack?
Chengdu is mild with occasional drizzle; Qingcheng Mountain is cooler and more humid, with possible rain. Pack light layers, a waterproof jacket or umbrella, comfortable walking shoes (non-slip), and a small backpack. In summer, bring sun protection; in winter, a warm coat is essential. We'll send you a weather update a few days before departure.
What food experiences are included in the tour?
The Sichuan Cuisine Museum visit includes a hands-on cooking class (you'll make two classic dishes) and a tasting of various local snacks. Lunch is also provided at the museum or a nearby authentic restaurant. Vegetarian or other dietary options are available – just let us know in advance, and we'll arrange it.
How physically demanding is the Qingcheng Mountain hike? Is it suitable for seniors or children?
Qingcheng Mountain has well-maintained paths with gentle slopes and steps. The hike is moderate – about 3 hours with rest stops. It's suitable for most fitness levels, including seniors and children, as long as they are comfortable with walking. We can also arrange a shorter route or cable car (at extra cost) if needed. Just let us know your group's needs.
Are there any shopping stops or extra costs I should be aware of?
This is a pure cultural and culinary experience – there are no forced shopping stops. At the museum, you may have the option to buy spices or souvenirs, but it's entirely voluntary. We recommend bringing some cash for personal purchases, snacks, or tips. We'll provide a clear cost breakdown before departure, so you'll know exactly what's included.
