The market is hidden in some local alleys which were built in 1970s. So our tour is to walk along these alleys.

We'll taste different kinds of pickles and you'll know their feature, history, making process from my introduction. You'll have a chance to learn making Chaoshou from local vendor.
In the 2nd alley, we'll encounter with traditional and magic dog skin plaster and acupuncture. Here has so many lovely food stalls. I'll highlight our important seasoning -- ginger and garlic. I'll tell you some secrets which outsiders never know about Sichuan cuisine. Then We'll go to my favorite noodle restaurant which is hidden in a small alley.

you never miss such an amazing experience in Chengdu. You never find this market scattered in local alleys from any tourist guidebook and this is absolutely the best way to see how a local chengdunese spend a day. Karen is a local and she's friendly, passionate and speak very good english. She introduced the history of the buildings, explained how to make sichuan pickles. tell me the features of different spices, especially sichuan peppercorn and chilli. We have sampled vegetarian spring roll, preserved egg, pickles, plum wine, noodles, stir-fry large intestine, Douhua. My stomach and appetite were so satisfied and Karen always encouraged me to try more food. Another interesting thing is no matter where you go in the market, you can hear and see people playing Majaing. If you want to experience a realy authentic, down-to-earth Chengdu life, Just come with Karen.
