What you can expect

Discover the essence of Chengdu's famous leisure culture with a visit to Shaocheng Teahouse, a cherished local spot nestled within the historic People's Park. This self-guided experience allows you to step away from the tourist crowds and into the rhythm of everyday life, where locals gather to socialise, play games, and enjoy simple pleasures. We secure your tea experience in advance, so you can effortlessly claim your seat and begin your immersion into this timeless tradition.

Your Destination & Cultural Setting:

Chengdu People's Park: Founded over a century ago, this park is the vibrant social heart of the city. Stroll past locals dancing, practising tai chi, and enjoying the outdoors before settling into your teahouse experience.

Shaocheng Teahouse: Located within the park, this teahouse offers a slightly more relaxed and local atmosphere compared to the most famous spot. It's the perfect place to observe daily Chengdu life while enjoying expertly prepared tea.

Your Self-Guided Tea Experience (Choose One Plan):

This is a self-guided cultural activity. You will make your own way to Shaocheng Teahouse (detailed meeting instructions provided upon booking), redeem your chosen plan, and enjoy at your leisure.

Plan A: Intangible Heritage Tea-Pouring with Covered Bowl Tea
Savour a classic “Gaiwan Cha” (lidded bowl tea) served via “Chán Chá”, an Intangible Cultural Heritage tea-pouring performance. Watch in awe as the tea master uses a long-spouted copper pot to pour boiling water with incredible, acrobatic precision.

Plan B: Heritage Tea + Panda Snack Platter
Enjoy the full experience: a Gaiwan Cha served with the heritage pouring technique, plus an adorable “Nine-Square Panda Snack Platter”. This selection of local sweet and savoury bites, presented in a traditional bamboo box, is both delicious and perfect for photos. (1 Panda Snack Platter for every 1–2 guests)

Plan C: “Weilu Zhucha” (Around-Stove Tea Boiling)
Experience the cosy and popular “Weilu Zhucha” tradition. Boil your own tea over a small stove at your table, accompanied by a plate of assorted local snacks like nuts, dried fruits, and sweet potatoes. It's a warm, social, and deeply relaxing way to spend an afternoon.
