    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!
