<h2><a name="overview" id="overview"></a>Holiday Overview âАУ Of Good  Food and Leisure</h2>
<p>IâАЩve  been coming to Chengdu for several years now.Â   Each time I am longing to experience again the flavours of Sichuan  cooking, many of them intense, some light and delicate, all of them  mouth-watering.Â  WeâАЩve created <em>Culinary Chengdu</em> such that you can experience  for yourself what has given me pleasure for a long time.</p>
<p>While Chengdu, like any other large, modern  Chinese shows some of the same pockmarks, we will take you to the places and  restaurants where Chengdu is still old Chengdu and the people are as relaxed as  ever.Â  And so, <em>Culinary Chengdu</em> is about much more than just eating well; it is  about pampering yourself, immersing yourself in a world where everybody waxes  lyrical about food and to slow down for a few days to the leisurely pace of  Chengdu.</p>
<p>While <em>Culinary Chengdu</em> isnâАЩt a driving  holiday, it is nonetheless an On the Road in China holiday.Â  Which means that you stay in a great hotel  and that weâАЩve thought about everything and are flexible to accommodate your  wishes during your stay with us. Our  guiding principles are &quot;less-is-more&quot; and &quot;make every moment last&quot; such that it will feel  as different as possible from the grind of everyday life.</p>
<p><em>Culinary Chengdu</em> âАУ a 3-night/4-day short  break for foodies: weâАЩve done all the research and teasing out of little-known  delights such that you can enjoy the simple pleasures of Sichuan cuisine,  unwind and relax.</p>
Here is more about
Sichuan, Chengdu and  Sichuan Cuisine (view as <a href="/downloads/Sichuan Chengdu and Cooking.001.pdf" title="Read PDF Version of Sichuan, Chengdu and  Sichuan Cuisine" target="_blank"><img src="/images/bt_pdf.gif" alt="Read PDF Version of  Sichuan, Chengdu and  Sichuan Cuisine" align="absmiddle" /></a>or <a href="/downloads/html/Sichuan Chengdu and Cooking_forhtml.001.htm" title="Read HTML Version of  Sichuan, Chengdu and  Sichuan Cuisine" target="_blank"><img src="/images/bt_html.gif" alt="Read HTML Version of  Sichuan, Chengdu and  Sichuan Cuisine" align="absmiddle" /></a>).

WeâАЩre confident that youâАЩll enjoy yourself.<strong><br />
    </strong><br />
      <span class="footnote"> * For other hotel options, Please see <a href="#prices">Prices and Options</a> or <a href="/contact_us.php">contact us</a>.</span></dd>
    <dt>Day 2</dt>
    <dd> <strong>A first taste âАУ Experience the traditional lifestyle and time-honoured settings</strong><br />
      <br />
      In the morning, you start with a visit to one of the last remaining open wet markets* in Chengdu. It abounds with the activities, colours, sounds and fragrances of local life. Ask our expert guide what is this and what is that.Â  Buy whatever snacks you fancy, then eat them when you stop for a breakfast of âАШdou jiangâАЩ (soya bean milk), freshly made noodles and deep-freed âАШtwisted doughâАЩ sticks.<br />
      <br />
      After breakfast at the local market, we think a stop at ChengduâАЩs bamboo park will delight you.Â  This park is where the locals come to practice martial arts, dance to modern or classical tunes, drink tea, and take their kids for entertainment. The beauty of the bamboos, bending in the wind like the Chinese themselves to cope with lifeâАЩs vicissitudes, soothe the soul and delight the heart.<br />
      <br />
      For lunch, we have arranged a special vegetarian meal in the Buddhist tradition. The meal is light, healthy and imaginative.<br />
      <br />
      The afternoon is free for you to hang out in one of ChengduâАЩs parks or to get some shopping in.<br />
      <br />
      WeâАЩve planned dinner at the restaurant which created the memorable banquet described in the 
      Sichuan, Chengdu and  Sichuan Cuisine backgrounder (view as <a href="/downloads/Sichuan Chengdu and Cooking.001.pdf" title="Read PDF Version of Sichuan, Chengdu and  Sichuan Cuisine backgrounder" target="_blank"><img src="/images/bt_pdf.gif" alt="Read PDF Version of  Sichuan, Chengdu and  Sichuan Cuisine backgrounder" align="absmiddle" /></a>or <a href="/downloads/html/Sichuan Chengdu and Cooking_forhtml.001.htm" title="Read HTML Version of  Sichuan, Chengdu and  Sichuan Cuisine backgrounder" target="_blank"><img src="/images/bt_html.gif" alt="Read HTML Version of  Sichuan, Chengdu and  Sichuan Cuisine backgrounder" align="absmiddle" /></a>)      . Dinner at this restaurant is in the best of Sichuan traditions.  WeâАЩve carefully selected a menu of dishes that will intrigue you with a wide range of flavours and textures, excite your refined taste buds and take your appreciation of Sichuan cuisine to another level.<br />
      <br />
      After dinner, if you feel like unwinding in a fine western bar with good wines or tea or, if youâАЩd like, a cigar, weâАЩll show you where.<br />
      <br />
      <span class="footnote">* I wouldnâАЩt miss this experience for the world, but if youâАЩd rather eat breakfast in the hotel, feel free to do so. Breakfast is included every day. Â Please see <a href="#prices">Prices and Options</a>.</span></dd>
    <dt>Day 3</dt>
    <dd> <strong>A day of learning and leisure âАУ Get to know some of the secrets of Sichuan flavours and relax in the modern Chengdu way</strong><br />
      <br />
      Breakfast today is at the hotel.<br />
      <br />
      Then youâАЩre off to the Sichuan Institute of Higher Cuisine, one of ChinaâАЩs most respected culinary institutes where the best chefs are trained. Here youâАЩll learn how to make three famous Sichuanese dishes yourself: Mapo Doufu (éº»å©Жè±ЖèЕР), Hui Guo Rou (âАШtwice-cooked porkâАЩ åЫЮéФЕèВЙ) and Shui Zhu Yu (âАШboiled fish slices in a fiery sauceâАЩ æ°´çЕ®é±¼). Learn step-by-step how to achieve the wonderful flavours, ask the chef any question you like, and sample the dishes to know what they should taste like.Â Â  Since the ingredients for these dishes are widely available, you can soon entertain your friends in your home with the best of Sichuan cooking!<br />
      <br />
      No culinary experience in Chengdu would be complete without a hotpot, but we add a twist: for todayâАЩs lunch, weâАЩve selected for you a mushroom hotpot (actually, a hotpot of many different fungi). The mushrooms are boiled in a pot of free-range chicken broth. First you eat the mushrooms and flavour them to your taste by dipping them into different sauces âАУ you like it fiery hot? And you mild and delicate? You are the chef. Then it is customary to drink the broth. At last, we boil freshly made noodles in the remaining broth for a delicious cup of noodles. To round out the meal, there is a special desert.<br />
      <br />
      The early afternoon is free again, either for more shopping or a snooze in the hotel.<br />
      <br />
      Later in the afternoon, weâАЩd like to invite you for a fabulous massage at an institute affiliated with ChengduâАЩs Chinese Medicine University. Choose from a wide variety of treatments and relax in the hands of true expert masseurs and masseuses.<br />
      <br />
      Then, at dusk, come join us for a pre-dinner drink in one of ChengduâАЩs loveliest garden restaurants right beside one of the cityâАЩs rivers.Â  Chill in the shade of the trees of this charming place. Any drink you like is on the house.<br />
      <br />
      We stay at this restaurant for dinner because the ambience is like no other in Chengdu.Â Â  </dd>
    <dt>Day 4</dt>
    <dd> <strong>Of Pandas and Chengdu snacks âАУ See the Giant Pandas up-close and personal, then regale in a Chengdu snack sampling menu</strong><br />
      <br />
      Breakfast is at the hotel again.<br />
      <br />
      Now, youâАЩve come all the way to Chengdu, so we thought you wouldnâАЩt want to miss a stroll through the cityâАЩs Giant Panda breeding centre.    It is located in an enchanting park at the fringe of Chengdu and a great opportunity to come face-to-face with these lovely creatures.<br />
      <br />
      <a href="#" onclick="NewWindow(\'/videos/panda/panda_video.html\',\'promo\',\'320\',\'285\',\'no\'); return false;"><img src="images/bt_panda.jpg" alt="Giant Panda Video China Chengdu" width="320" height="286" border="0" /></a><br />
      <br />
      To round out the day and your Chengdu culinary experience, we will take you to a tasting menu of the famous Chengdu snacks. These snacks are, in concept, similar to Hong KongâАЩs Dim Sum, but in my personal opinion, far more varied in flavour.Â  Try for yourself!<br />
      <br />
      After lunch, we will, unfortunately, need to send you back to the airport because a short break is just that. We hope you will have enjoyed it so much, however, that you will soon be coming back for more. </dd>
