City: Guilin
Guilin rice noodles are the most iconic local food and a core part of Guangxi's food culture. This hands-on cooking workshop lets international visitors master the full production process of authentic rice noodles under local professional chefs. The activity starts with a bilingual cultural lecture: students learn the thousand-year history of rice noodles, the traditional rice soaking, grinding and steaming techniques, and the secret formula of bone broth and spicy seasoning.
Every participant gets an independent cooking station. You will grind rice batter, steam rice sheets, cut fresh rice noodles, and simmer the traditional pork bone soup. Then you assemble your bowl with braised pork, pickled vegetables, chilli oil and peanuts. After cooking, everyone tastes the rice noodles they made themselves. We also offer vegetarian and mild-spice options for different dietary needs and food allergies.
PandaStudyTour books professional kitchen venues, arranges bilingual food instructors and local noodle masters, and prepares all fresh raw materials and kitchen tools. This food workshop can be scheduled as a half-day activity and combined with city sightseeing. It is a wonderful interactive experience for overseas groups to explore southern Chinese rice food culture and taste authentic Guilin local flavour.
