Overview

On this 4-hour food exploration tour, you will follow a local food expert who is fluent in English, weaving through the streets and alleys of Chengdu. As you stroll along, you'll taste authentic snacks while immersing yourself in the city's profound food culture. As a world-renowned culinary capital, Chengdu's charm extends beyond the dining table—it lies in the vibrant, lively atmosphere of its streets. We will take you deep into the old lanes beloved by locals, sampling 7 to 8 different kinds of authentic snacks and specialty dishes—from crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside egg puff pancakes to the spicy and savory Dan Dan noodles, and sizzling charcoal-grilled skewers… every bite is pure Chengdu flavor. Along the way, you'll take a short break at a century-old tea house, fully experiencing the slow pace of life that Chengdu locals enjoy. This is not just a food tour; it's an immersive journey into the Chengdu way of life.
