The Adventure Awakes
Upon arrival, gear up with a premium personal audio headset, ensuring you won't miss a single word of your veteran guide's captivating storytelling.

Courtyard Serenity & Foodie Delights
After cracking codes through the winding alleys, step inside the tranquil “Years Courtyard” to catch your breath. Relax like a local as you are served premium, hand-blended tea. The culinary adventure continues with a specially curated Chongqing tasting platter. You will feast on 7 classic seasonal delicacies, including iconic hot and sour noodles and refreshing local ice jelly, perfectly showcasing the region's famous flavor profiles.

Live Artistry & Heritage Treasures
The climax of your tour takes place inside a historic opera house. Here, get front-row access to spectacular local flash performances, including the breathtaking acrobatics of a long-spout teapot show and the world-renowned Sichuan Opera Face-Changing (Bian Lian) art. Before concluding your tour, you will receive exclusive tokens of your journey: a handcrafted piece of non-material cultural heritage and a limited-edition hand-drawn artwork by a celebrated local cartoonist. Enjoy some free time afterward to explore the bustling markets at your own pace.
