Hi,
I am currently in Chengdu and have two days here, Thursday and Friday. I enjoy seeing traditional aspects of an area such as workshops where traditional crafts/foods are made, and the every day lifestyle of locals.

I would also like to learn about some of the local foods for this region and traditional medicines. Do you have any tours that would fit my interests? If so, could you let me know the price for a day tour or two days of tours?
Thanks in advance,
Rochel
