Chengdu Food Tour

The tour has been amazing and it offers what it promises, a cultural immersion in Chengdu food culture. As second stop we choose tea ceremony and calligraphy, and that was amazing too. Haoqi is super nice, friendly, helpful and ready to answer all the questions.

Great Tour I Great way to know the real China

Chengdu evening food tour with locals

Haoqi was a great tour guide and introduced us to a lot of great local dishes. We walked through a nice local food market und tried some delicious snacks and headed to another place for a traditional tea ceremony and Chinese calligraphy. The second place was really grounding and also the women who did the tea ceremony was really nice. Besides the great tour Haoqi also really saved my ass a few days later when I left my phone in the Didi. She was so supportive and helped me to get it back eventually!! Thank you, Haoqi!!

The tour was really interesting! We visited a local market, where Haoqi explained to us about the food the sellers had and some interesting curiosities about many of the ingredients and products we saw. We also visited a temple. I highly recommend to do the tour with her.

This tour was exactly what we wanted. We visited a temple and learned a lot about the history and religion. Walking through the food market was really good as we were able to ask questions about some of the food we were unsure of and try some new things. Nice little surprise at the end too. Guide was also happy to ask questions we had about China in general.

Haoqi did a great job and we tried some new things, she even helped me get acupuncture. The market was really fun and the information was interesting.

Haoqi fue una guía estupenda. Nos llevó por todo el mercado explicándonos cada puesto y resolviendo todas nuestras dudas. Nos ayudó a comprar las especias que necesitamos y probamos muchos platos diferentes. Después tuvimos una gran experiencia con una ceremonia del te y una pequeña clase de caligrafía. Recomiendo 100%

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour, and Chang was an amazing guide - I loved learning about the different street and market food specialities of Chengdu and Sichuan and having the opportunity to try some as well (so tasty!) - this tour is the perfect combo of exciting market and street food culture followed by the history and peaceful vibe of walking through the Taoist temple. Highly recommend 💯

Haoqi was extremely knowledgeable about the local foods. She pointed a million different things that were new to me. As I am new to China she helped me also understand the Chinese apps and how to use them. She also gave me some interesting tips to do with my evening entertainment and helped me book a ticket for Chinese theatre which I thoroughly enjoyed. I can highly recommend Haoqi as a highly professional guide. Thank you Haoqi.

The contact with Haoqi was very agreeable, open, relax. Discovering the food market was realy delightful. I would recommend a small group (we were 3 + Haoqi). We talked not only about food, but about many other things in daily life of Chinese.

I had such a lovely time with Haoqi visiting the foodie market. We sampled a few bits while she explained more about Chengdu cuisine and she helped us pick out some bits for breakfast that we enjoyed together. The tea and calligraphy session was fantastic - the lady was super friendly and it was so calming and relaxing. A lovely morning spent with locals!

A little less sampling then we expected but learned lots of interesting things and also just enjoyed chatting with our guide over a game of cards that she thought us! The tea + calligraphy was super fun.

Haoqi has been very helpful, kind and knowledgeable about the food in Chengdu. She also took us to have a Chinese tea tasting and calligraphy sessions; this was very much enjoyable and fun. The Chinese tea tasting session was very interesting, followed by calligraphy session with explanation on Chinese character strokes and brush holding; then we got to write a Chinese phrase ourselves.
