Sichuan food is incomplete without the 3 most common and important ingredients that I fell in love with on this tour:ġ. So be prepared to have some mouth-numbing, oily, spicy and sweaty meals.
It is most well-known for its hot and spicy flavor. Sichuan food or what we sometimes also refer to as Szechwan food is steeped in flavor. It is most renowned for two things namely the Giant Pandas and the Sichuan cuisine. But then again Vacilando-ing involves moving away from the ordinarily travelled paths.Ĭhengdu is the capital of southwestern China’s Sichuan province. Chengdu doesn’t really feature on a first timers’ China travel itinerary. The visit to Chengdu was a grand opportunity to live in one of the cities of gastronomy (2010) as identified by the UNESCO’s Global Alliance’s Creative Cities Network becoming the first in Asia to join the list and the second after Tucson, USA. Other interests being, my sister studying veterinary medicine came for the Pandas my mum for being with the family (secretly she was eager to spend some more time with my sister, love for younger siblings I tell you *eye roll*) and me for the history and culture. A common calling for all of us was of course the “FOOD” (you’ll know why). Since we are spread over 3 different countries (Australia, China and India) it was a perfect opportunity to vacation as a family and also because there was something of interest for all of us on this trip. Dad, a professor of South Asian economies, has been invited as a high end expert to the Institute of South Asian Studies, Sichuan University in Chengdu, China.
In February 2017 we as a family decided to have a 15 day leisurely vacation in China choosing the cities of Chengdu and Beijing as a part of the itinerary.
