Hotel Pickup
activityChengdu Hotel
Your private food guide will meet you in the hotel lobby at 2:00 PM. After a warm welcome, your guide will brief you on tonight's food route and the stories behind each dish, then drive to the first stop — Jianshe Road, Chengdu's most authentic grassroots snack street.
Highlights
Jianshe Road Snack Street
activityExplore a real Chengdu snack street loved by locals, away from the commercial atmosphere of Jinli. With your guide leading the way, taste classic Chengdu street foods, including Zhong Dumplings, Dandan Noodles, Baked Egg Pancake, Three Cannon Balls, Ice Jelly, Sugar-Oil Balls, and Bobo Chicken — experiencing the authentic flavors of Chengdu’s street food culture.
Highlights
Wangping Street / Taikoo Li Leisure Walk
activityAfter a full snack crawl, take a leisurely walk with your guide along Wangping Street to digest. This street connects the trendy Taikoo Li shopping district with the old city lanes, offering a perfect blend of old and new Chengdu. Your guide will recommend a local-favorite café or tea shop for a quick rest stop.
Highlights
Head to Yulin District
activityAfter a short rest, drive to the main event location — the Yulin district. This is Chengdu's most characterful old residential community and the "headquarters" of Chengdu food. Zhao Lei's ballad "Chengdu" made Yulin Road famous nationwide, but only by walking in do you realize the atmosphere is even richer than the song suggests.
Highlights
Authentic Chengdu Hotpot Dinner
activityEnjoy an authentic Chengdu hotpot experience at a local Yulin restaurant loved by residents. Your guide will help you order dishes based on your preferences, recommend classic hotpot specialties, and introduce the best ways to enjoy them like a local. From signature ingredients to the traditional garlic sesame oil dipping sauce, you’ll discover the flavors and dining traditions behind Sichuan hotpot.
Highlights
Yulin West Road Bars
activityDiscover Chengdu’s relaxed nightlife in Yulin West Road, known for its artistic atmosphere and local charm. Visit 2-3 unique bars, including Little Tavern (Xiao Jiu Guan), a famous folk music venue, local craft beer bars, and hidden cocktail bars, experiencing the laid-back evening culture of Chengdu.
Highlights
Return to Hotel
activityChengdu Hotel
After a pleasant tipsy night, your private car takes you back to the hotel. Your guide can recommend breakfast spots for the next morning — because in Chengdu, a new day starts with a bowl of fatty intestine noodles or a crispy flatbread.
