What do you want to understand?

These are topics you can ask about. They are not a promised syllabus: the possible content depends on the instructor, facilities, dates and your experience.

Flavour beyond heat

The balance of Sichuan pepper, chilli, fermented bean paste, aromatics and seasoning order.

Preparation and wok technique

Knife work, mise en place, heat control and how ingredients behave in the wok.

Your own culinary questions

Tell us the dishes or techniques that matter to your practice, and what you hope to take back to your kitchen.

From your idea to a confirmed plan

  1. Share your background, goals, dates, group size, available time, budget and language needs.
  2. We check what can be arranged. Any proposed teacher, location, programme, price and interpretation will be set out before you decide.
  3. Once the learning arrangements are confirmed, we can help plan the surrounding Chengdu stay or a wider private China journey.

Start with your learning brief

Approximate dates are fine. If your budget is undecided, say so. Sharing your source helps us understand how you found the experience.

This is an inquiry, not a confirmed booking. Teachers, kitchens, dates, duration, price and language support need written confirmation. You can also email [email protected].

Frequently asked questions

Is gochina.tours a cooking school?

No. We are a Chengdu-based travel team. We help you inquire about culinary learning and coordinate the travel. Any teaching activity depends on the provider and the arrangements confirmed in writing.

Is this a professional qualification?

No. This page is an inquiry service for a possible learning trip. It does not offer an accredited qualification, diploma or fixed professional curriculum. The half-day visitor class is a separate short experience.

Is there a fixed duration or price?

Not for this tailored inquiry. Duration and price depend on the format, dates, group, language support and any travel services that can be confirmed.

Can I arrange several days of learning?

You can request it, but a multi-day programme is not confirmed or sold on this page. We need to check the teaching, kitchen access, dates and language support before offering an arrangement.

Can the teaching be in Spanish?

Spanish teaching or interpretation must be checked separately. The current half-day class lists English support. Writing to us in Spanish does not confirm Spanish teaching.

Can I combine learning with a China trip?

Yes, you can ask our team to plan Chengdu accommodation, transfers and other private travel around the confirmed learning schedule, including destinations elsewhere in China.
