Sichuan Cuisine Museum Experience – A Museum You Can Taste
Duration: 4 HOURS
Sichuan cuisine, one of China’s eight major culinary traditions, is renowned for its numbing, spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavors and has been recognized by UNESCO as a representative of world culinary heritage. It is not only a delight for the palate but also embodies thousands of years of history and cultural wisdom from the Sichuan region. The Sichuan Cuisine Museum is the world’s only “edible museum,” where visitors can explore Sichuan cuisine from historical collections to hands-on cooking practice. Under the guidance of professional chefs, participants can cook classic dishes such as Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, and Panda Steamed Dumplings (children’s version includes Steamed Beef with Rice Flour), enjoying an immersive cooking experience. After the session, participants will receive a commemorative certificate and take photos, creating unforgettable memories that blend taste and culture.
