An Over Expectation Fun Activity

5.00This activity was over expectation. Our guide Kira told us that today was a lucky day because the raw materials used for making the sachets had been newly restocked, means we got more options than previous customers! The process of sewing the sachets was indeed challenging, but also a lot of fun, the instructor was a great help indeed. The cookies were delicious and had a unique flavor. Choosing the spices was a rather agonizing process, we chose to follow the recommendation and selected a combination that was rich in both color and scent. According to the guide, this blend has a calming effect. This activity is perfect for a lazy afternoon and complements the city of Chengdu very well.
Was a wonderful experience to take.

5.00Interesting activity that is perfect for filling in spare moments. Located across from the Sichuan Opera Performance Park and is led by professional staff. Guide Kira will provide background information and Ms. Zeng brings step-by-step instructions for the activity. You can choose between easy or difficult projects to complete. You can take home a handmade souvenir, certainly more meaningful than the panda keychains that everyone else buys :) Highly recommended for those interested in local culture and looking to do something different from the typical tourist experience, not to mention the chance to enjoy traditional Gaiwan tea. The shop also offers other cultural merchandise, certainly a rich cultural atmosphere.
