Visit a Local Market with the Songtsam Chef in Pu'er

Join the Songtsam chef on a morning or afternoon visit to a local Pu'er market, exploring the seasonal abundance of the subtropical south — wild herbs, forest mushrooms, tropical fruit and fresh vegetables — with a cook who knows exactly what to do with each find. Pu'er's markets reflect the biodiversity of its nine surrounding counties, where distinct ethnic communities trade ingredients found in few other parts of China. Back at the hotel that produce becomes part of your meal, closing the loop from stall to plate. Departures at 9:30 AM or 2:00 PM. CNY 688 per person; minimum two people, maximum six participants. Reserve at the hotel front desk at least one day in advance.
