Build a Chengdu hotpot meal from the market

Begin with ingredients and chilli-bean paste before sharing a divided pot where broth, dipping sauce and cooking order are explained. Moving through Wet market with guide, then spice and ingredient briefing, then established hotpot restaurant, then tea-house finish gives the visit a clear sequence and keeps the landscape, people or history connected to the activity itself.

Use a licensed market guide, state allergies clearly and manage raw and cooked utensils carefully. Order heat for the whole table rather than as a test of endurance. Confirm the live official calendar, access, permit, weather and local safety guidance before departure, reserve any capacity-controlled element and follow instructions from guides, rangers or site staff.
