Chongqing - Chongqing Heritage Craft Experience Center:
Hand-Rolled Incense Making: Enter a room filled from floor to ceiling with aromatic herbs and woods such as sandalwood, agarwood, and osmanthus blossom. Inhale the scent of each ingredient as your guide shares its origin and healing properties. Discover the three traditional Chongqing methods of Sheng Xiang (Raw Incense), Shu Xiang (Cooked Incense), and Men Xiang (Aged/Sealed Incense). Join the workshop to hand-press slender sticks and twist your own cone incense, which you can take home still warm from the press.
Mineral-Pigment Painting: Observe raw azurite, malachite, and cinnabar glistening under the lights, then see them ground into vibrant powders once used in temple murals.
Paper-Cutting Craft: Learn the rhythmic art of Chinese jiǎn-zhǐ under the guidance of a local artist. Fold vermilion paper, trace folk patterns, and cut out intricate skylines or mountain-river motifs that symbolize good fortune.
- Chongqing - Traditional Teahouse: Stroll along Bai Xiang Street, where every stone narrates a tale from Chongqing’s rich history. In a quiet corner, discover a century-old teahouse with weathered wooden windows, bamboo chairs, and the gentle hum of locals conversing over steaming cups. Enjoy authentic Chongqing-style gaiwan tea, delicately infused with jasmine or osmanthus, and learn the traditional way of holding and savoring it. As stories unfold and tea is shared, experience the rhythm of daily life in old Chongqing—unhurried, flavorful, and deeply human. More than just a beverage, it’s a gateway into the city’s soul.
