Exploring Spicy Food-A Gastronomic Journey in Chengdu on Apr. 15 came to its third stop in Pengzhou City in northern Chengdu, while 11 foreigners living in Chengdu, with the staff from gochengdu.cn, had a very special experience wearing traditional Chinese costumes and tasting a peony-theme banquet.

The team showed great interest in a book saloon club made from an unused train station, came to everyone's sight during the train tour, which carried them to the well-preserved ancient factory sites, pagodas and old temples. Tamara Leigh, from the South Africa, said he was "thrilled" by the long and diversified culture. "Wearing the Han costumes, I could understand more about the ancient Chinese culture. The trip gives us an opportunity to have a good look at what Chengdu life used to be a few thousand years ago."

"Guo kui is very similar to a kind of pie in South Africa…it is amazing that foods are so much alike in the two places far from each other," said Natasha.
