Eat like a local in Sichuan
Local Food Experience
We take you to the Sichuan dishes locals actually eat — Leshan street snacks and classics — and order and translate for you, spice level and allergies included.
Quick answer
We take you to the Sichuan dishes locals actually eat — Leshan street snacks like bobo chicken (cold skewers), qiaojiao beef soup and sweet-skin duck — and we order and translate for you, including spice level and any allergies. Meals cost about ¥150 per person; you pay the restaurant directly for what you eat, and we add nothing on top.
Leshan is quietly one of Sichuan's best food cities. Beyond the famous mala heat, there are gentle, delicious classics: sweet-skin duck (tianpi ya), qiaojiao beef soup (qiaojiao niurou), bobo chicken skewers, tofu pudding and steamed leaf cakes. The best spots are tiny, cash-friendly and entirely in Chinese.
We walk you through a tasting route, order the right amount, adjust the spice, flag anything with peanuts or offal, and explain what you're eating. Vegetarian and halal-friendly options can be arranged with notice.

Good to know
- Budget about ¥150 per person per meal. You pay each restaurant or stall directly for what you actually eat, so there's no markup.
- Your companion takes you on the food route as part of their day (¥800 plus ¥200 service fee). There's no separate fee for the food experience.
- Tell us about allergies in advance; Sichuan kitchens use a lot of chili, peanuts and Sichuan pepper.
