What To Expect
Chengdu
There are a million reasons Chengdu is an international food destination. It’s a UNESCO city of gastronomy. It’s the most popular Chinese cuisine in China. It has the highest per-capita ratio of restaurants in all of China. And at the same time, visitors know very little about food in Chengdu. Travel by tuktuk and encounter spots you could never find on your own for a mix of street food, sit-down restaurants, and family-run joints: Chengdu Street Crepes: This classic local street food comes in one of 4 flavor profiles: sweet, salty, spicy, and strange at a street-stall-turned-shop. Sichuan-style Wontons: Learn why locals call them “Chaoshou,” at a family restaurant where they’re made to order. All the Noodles: Originally served on the street by men who carried the ingredients around on bamboo poles, Dandan noodles are possibly the OG hawker dish. Classic Sichuan Dishes: Sample local delicacies like Mapo Tofu (there’s plenty of not-so-spicy dishes here too).
Chengdu
End the night trying house-made plum wine in a 70s-80s themed bar that captures a unique turning point in China’s history. The bar is a 10 minute walk to the nearest subway station.

5.00This tour was absolutely fantastic - every restaurant we visited had absolutely incredible food, and our awesome guide Jaz told us some interesting stories and history about each one. Highly recommend this as a way to sample a ton of Chengdu's amazing foods in a short period of time.

5.00I didn’t know Chengdu was known for food (except hotpot) until I did this tour! The city has lots of dishes to eat from which we tried! Good variety of food and places to eat. Fiona and Monica were great guides, very enthusiastic and gave us lots of information. Really nice to finish off the tour in an old school bar, playing Mahjong and drinking plum wine! Would highly recommend!
I got to try out some...
