Itinerary

Spend the afternoon in People's Park, one of Chengdu's most popular gathering places. Settle into a traditional teahouse for a Gaiwan tea (covered-bowl tea) session and join locals in a casual game of Mahjong, both integral parts of Chengdu's teahouse culture and everyday life.

Continue to Kuanzhai Alley, a restored historic quarter that preserves elements of old Chengdu's street layout and courtyard architecture. From here, walk to Kuixinglou Street, a lively neighborhood lined with local eateries and small shops that stay open into the evening.

After enjoying an authentic Sichuan-style dinner, attend a Sichuan opera performance. Face-changing, fire-spitting, and other traditional stage techniques provide an introduction to the region's performing arts.
