π Itinerary.
- AM: Upon arrival in Chengdu at 9am, head to a locally renowned noodle shop to start the day with a bowl of vegetarian chilli noodles or pea noodles.

- A.M.: Go on to try an egg baked cake, choose your favourite filling such as creamy meat floss or pickled cowpeas, and experience the texture of the cake's crust as it is crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
- Lunch: Find a kebab shop and enjoy a hot, cold kebab, with a choice of dry or sesame oil plate to suit your taste, and enjoy the richness of the dish.
- Afternoon: In the heat of the day, have a bowl of icy noodles. Choose from brown sugar, coconut or mint-flavoured hand-rubbed ice powder with a full complement of toppings such as crushed peanuts, hawthorn and red beans.
- Afternoon: find stalls of baked bean skins and baked camas skins on the snack street, savour the delicious flavours wrapped in toppings such as pickled carrots, pickled cowpeas, and folded earrings, and watch the tantalising appearance of the skins, which have been baked until they burst into tiny bubbles and sprinkled with sesame seeds and spring onions.
- Evening: Nibble on a rabbit head, five-spice or spicy according to your preference, and enjoy the rich sauce and texture of the marinated rabbit head.
- Evening: End the day with a roasted pig's trotter. Choose the brined and roasted pig's trotter to experience the crispy skin, the tenderness and flavour of the pig's trotter, or go for the tasty trotter soup if you don't want to eat spicy food.
