What Classes Actually Teach
Dumpling/potsticker sessions (the classic – folding technique is the fun part), market-to-wok courses (shop with the chef, learn 3-4 dishes), regional intensives (Sichuan hotpot spice-blending in Chengdu, dim sum folding in Guangzhou/Shanghai).
Top Cities for Classes
Chengdu (Sichuan – the UNESCO food city has the best classes), Shanghai (most English options), Xi’an (noodle stretching/pulling is a show in itself), Yangshuo (countryside cooking schools – the most scenic kitchens in China).
Cost & Logistics
¥150-400 per person for 2-4 hour sessions incl. ingredients and eating your work. Our tours book vetted schools (clean, English-taught, small groups); families love the dumpling format.
The Souvenir That Lasts
Recipes travel home with you – our partner schools email recipe cards in English, and the spice-market sourcing tour (Chengdu) teaches you to rebuild the flavors anywhere.
