Sip premium Pu’er tea, create traditional paper-cut art (framed to keep), and end with optional Hanfu photos in a stunning indoor garden. It’s culture you touch, taste, and take home.

Your finished artwork will be framed on the spot as a special souvenir. The tour ends with a visit to The Ring Shopping Mall, where you can optionally rent a Hanfu outfit for photos in its stunning indoor garden. *Duration: 4 hours (morning/afternoon available) Includes: English-speaking host, all cooking ingredients , tea tasting, paper-cutting activity, framed paper-cut souvenir, and market tour Optional: Hanfu rental for photos at The Ring

    Spent an amazing day doing this tour! We started by exploring a local market, it was super lively and authentic. It really felt like stepping into the lives that locals experience in Chongqing. Later, we learned how to make simple Chongqing snacks at home. I was surprised how easy the recipes were to follow and they were all pretty tasty. We also had a nice paper-cutting lesson. Our Host Xu was so friendly, we were given a beautifully framed piece as a gift at the end to keep as a souvenir! This experience was meaningful and fun. I highly recommend it!
