Description
This is a private one-day tour event, and we will greet you with your name in the lobby of your hotel at 8:00 in the morning! We drove to the Panda Base for a free tour (this is the hometown of pandas). Please note that there is no tour guide, it takes about 3 hours! You go back to the parking lot and we drive to the Sichuan Cuisine Museum. Here, you can taste dozens of Chengdu's specialty snacks for lunch. After lunch, an English speaking guide will lead us to visit the museum and explain knowledge about Sichuan cuisine. Finally, we will learn to make three authentic Sichuan cuisine experiences. After the dishes are finished, we will have dinner today. At the end, we will receive a learning certificate as a commemoration! Our driver safely escorts you back to the hotel and has a perfect day!
