10:30 · Meet at Your Hotel Lobby Your guide picks you up directly. No metro, no map confusion. The day begins.

11:00 · Old-School Sichuan Lunch — Chengdu Laozihao (老字号川菜) A neighborhood institution that has been feeding Chengdu families for generations. No tourist menu, no performance — just classic Sichuan cooking done exactly the way it has always been done. Your guide walks you through each dish as it arrives: the story behind it, the technique, and why locals keep coming back. Expect Mapo Tofu made properly, Twice-Cooked Pork that bears no resemblance to what you've had outside China, and a cold beer that costs less than a bottle of water back home.

13:00 · Wuhou Shrine & Jinli (武侯祠·锦里) A 10-minute taxi to one of Chengdu's most atmospheric historic sites. Wuhou Shrine is the resting place of Zhuge Liang — China's most legendary military strategist. Your guide brings the Three Kingdoms story to life in plain English. Then a slow walk through Jinli's stone-paved lanes — no agenda, just the city at its most beautiful in the afternoon light.

15:00 · Sichuan Foot Massage & Tea Walk into a neighborhood foot massage parlour — bamboo chairs, hot towels, and therapists who have been doing this for 20 years. 90 minutes of the best value recovery you will ever experience. Tea served throughout. Your guide is nearby if you need anything — otherwise, this is your time.

17:00 · Free Time / Hotel Rest Return to your hotel to freshen up. Your guide shares the evening plan and meets you again at 18:30.

18:30 · The Hole-in-the-Wall Dinner A neighborhood restaurant with no English sign, plastic stools, fluorescent lighting, and food that gives the lunch a serious run for its money. Your guide orders the house specials — dishes that have been on the menu for 30 years because nobody has ever asked them to change. Cold beer. Loud table next to you. The most Chengdu moment of your trip.

20:30 · End of Tour Your guide sees you off and sends you a personal list of recommendations for your remaining days in Chengdu.
