Top Food Tours in Chengdu
Jinli Ancient Street
Recreated Qing Dynasty street specializing in Sichuan snacks: dan dan noodles, mapo tofu, and three-cannon glutinous rice.
Yulin Neighborhood Hot Pot
The birthplace of Chengdu-style hot pot. Dozens of restaurants competing to be the spiciest. Try the split-pot (yuanyang) if you're scared.
Kuanzhai Alley Tea & Snacks
Three parallel alleys (wide, narrow, well) with teahouses serving jasmine tea and sweet rice cakes in a Qing-era setting.
Sichuan Cuisine Museum
Interactive museum where you learn to cook kung pao chicken, then eat it. The fermented bean paste cellar is incredible.
