What to expect

If you're interested in China's culinary culture, why not join a cooking class, where you can make Chinese delicacies by yourself? You can choose one to make: wontons, dumplings, or zongzis.

Wontons: The instructor will guide you in preparing fillings, folding plump ingot-shaped wontons, and making a delicious broth with shredded egg, dried shrimp, seaweed, and pork fat.

Dumplings: The instructor will explain the cultural significance of dumplings, demonstrate the technique for preparing fillings, and teach you how to fold dumplings into various shapes. You can boil the dumplings by yourself and dip them in homemade sauces to taste.

Zongzi: You will learn to roll leaves into a cone, fill the cone with rice, and tie zongzis with a string under the instructor's guidance. Also, you will explore the difference between southern and northern flavors.

Then, we will take you to a mahjong experience class! An instructor will introduce mahjong terminology and teach you the core rules of playing mahjong. After playing a few practice rounds, you will must be fascinated by this interesting game.

Furthermore, you should note that we can arrange an activity location near your hotel.
