• Huashan Road - At approximately 12 pm, the operator will pick up participants and transport them to a local Chess and Cards Room for a mahjong lesson. This engaging activity will last around four hours. During this time, the instructor will explain the fundamental rules, ensuring participants quickly grasp the game with expert guidance.

Following the mahjong session, participants will be taken to another venue for a cooking class, which will last approximately three hours. Participants can choose to make one of the following: wontons, dumplings, or sticky rice dumplings.

Wontons: The chef will instruct participants on preparing the fillings, folding the wontons into plump ingot shapes, and creating a flavorful broth with shredded egg, dried shrimp, seaweed, and pork fat.

Dumplings: The chef will discuss the cultural importance of dumplings, demonstrate the filling preparation technique, and teach participants how to fold dumplings into various shapes. Participants can boil the dumplings themselves and enjoy them with homemade sauces.

Sticky rice dumplings: Under the chef’s guidance, participants will learn to roll leaves into a cone, fill it with rice, and secure it with a string.

After the cooking class, participants will be driven back to the original location.
