The post 2026 Chengdu Easter Events appeared first on Chengdu Expat.

This article comes from the archives of our favorite Sichuan food writer, Jordan Porter (no, not you Dunlop), who sadly no longer lives in the city.

Discover how to pig out like a local this Spring Festival with Jordan’s guide to Chinese New Year food in Sichuan:

In Sichuan, lunch, not dinner, serves as the most important meal during celebrations. This meal also marks the time for drinking. Lunch often features a more elaborate spread, but the day doesn’t end there. After lunch, people usually take an afternoon break filled with majiang, sunflower seeds, tea, and sometimes cigarettes. Later, everyone returns to the table for a more casual dinner.

If you join a Chinese New Year celebration in Sichuan, these dishes are common examples of the Chinese New Year food in Sichuan you can expect to enjoy:

Sausages & Smoked Meat

You have seen spiced, cured sausages and smoked pork bellies and ribs hanging around the city since the weather got cold. These meats truly shine during the New Year feast, a highlight of Chinese New Year food in Sichuan. Each family makes their own sausages using recipes passed down through generations. The rituals of curing, drying, and smoking also play a key role in preparing for the New Year. Families serve these meats steamed, boiled, or on their own, sliced thinly as a meat platter. Serving an abundance of meat symbolizes prosperity. Overall, meat plays a central role in the annual celebrations. In Sichuan tradition, smoked meat and sausages hold a special, sacred place. Their rich flavors perfectly capture the spirit of the Spring Festival here.

Chicken 鸡肉

Traditionally, during Chinese New Year, families would slaughter a chicken and spread its blood in front of their doorway to repel evil spirits. Then, they cooked the chicken to eat. While this ritual still happens in rural areas, most city families skip the slaughter and go straight to cooking. In Chengdu, people commonly serve chicken cold and mixed in chili oil (凉拌鸡) or red-braised with seasonal garlic scapes. Some families prefer a chicken stew or soup (炖鸡), and others serve both a male and a female chicken. No matter how it’s prepared, chicken, usually a one-year-old rooster in Sichuan, always appears on the table.

Fish 鱼

The word for fish, Yu 鱼, sounds like the word for surplus or profit, Yu 余. Eating fish during Chinese New Year represents ending the year with a surplus. This tradition is part of Chinese New Year food in Sichuan and across China. The fish must stay whole, but different places prepare it in various ways. In Sichuan, people usually serve it spicy or cooked in douban (豆瓣) sauce. Sometimes it’s boiled, steamed, or fried, depending on local taste.

Surou 酥肉

Deep fried, spiced, fatty pork is prepared by each family and served during the feast. It can be served crispy on its own with a side of crushed chili, though most commonly its served in a soup – which makes it not crispy at all, but still delicious. Often made en masse, it also serves as an easy gift when visiting other families or family members along side strings of sausages and bags of smoked meat.

Dumplings 饺子

Preparing dumplings 饺子 for the New Year is primarily a thing of North China, and it doesn’t feature prominently in Sichuanese traditions (Read more about that here). Sichuan is, however, a land of immigrants and many people here are of northern decent, and so its not uncommon that families across the province (and country) still practice this tradition. Dumplings, however, are usually eaten on the last day of the lunar year, and not during the New Years Day feast itself.

Baijiu 白酒 and Boiled Beer 煮啤酒

As with celebrations across the world, for many families drinking also plays a role in the festivities. Whole families gather together and toast to the fortune of the family and things to come in the year ahead. This is the time to bring out that fancy bottle of WuLiangYe or MaoTai you’ve been saving up and enjoy it with loved ones. The flavors also compliment the sausages and smoked meat very nicely. In cooler areas, and for the evening meal, a ‘mulled beer’ 煮啤酒 may also be made. Local beer is boiled with ginger, goji berries, rock sugar and fermented rice for a warm, boozey beverage that keeps you peppy in the cool of the evening.

The post What Chengdu Eats on Chinese New Year appeared first on Chengdu Expat.

There’s no doubt that winter is here – it’s cold and grey and somewhat discouraging. But there’s more to Winter in Chengdu than just hiding away and waiting for Spring. The cold winds (its a metaphor, there’s no wind in Chengdu) also blow in a few gems to help you through this somber season.

Don’t miss out on the greatness embedded in the greyness…

Win the winter, win the year!

MEEEAT Season

It’s a veritable sausage party out here! When the weather starts to cool families, restaurants, butchers and artisans all start making cured sausages and smoked meats (腊肉 là ròu).  These pork based charcuterie are cured with salt and Sichuan peppercorns before they are smoked and then hung from balconies across the city.  They are like the Christmas lights of Chengdu

signaling the arrival of the season… MEAT SEASON. And they are pretty much the tastiest thing around – so tasty I even find myself looking forward to winter from time to time.

  Goat is the king of the warming meats (in traditional Chinese Medicine), and as temperatures drop Yáng Ròu Tāng 羊肉汤 places rise in the stead of the summery crayfish spots.  Goat carcasses are strung from the rafters or doors of the places to signal the freshness of their meats.

A deep, rich, milky broth is the hot pot base and you order by the pound of meat or organs. If you want the real deal, head out to Jianyang (a city East of Chengdu) to get your soup on.

When the leaves of the gingko trees fall and the ketchup red walls of the temples are divorced from their mustardy counterparts, you may think all color is gone from the sky… but you’d be wrong! Wintersweet (làméi 腊梅) a woody plant, speckled with yellow flowers, which blossoms around Chinese New Year – brings yellow back in to your life.

And much more than that it brings with it a deliciously sweet, floral smell that will light up your whole apartment. The sweetest part of winter, WINTERSWEET. You can get it from street carts and in some flower shops.

Winter is the ultimate time to just not give a f*** about how you look, and place comfort as the highest goal. No one is judging – get a blanket for your e-bike, wear your padded PJs out to eat, get that granny jacket or leather hat you always wanted.

Honestly, once you go all in on comfort it’s hard to bounce back. And in an (un)ironic way, you sometimes end up looking super fly.

 Citrus are native to East Asia and they are in full force through the cold months – almost as if nature knew you’d need the bright colors and vitamin C to lead you on your journey. The diversity here is amazing as well, and most produce at local markets comes from farms just outside the city.

Kumquats (金橘 jīnjú ), pomelos (柚子 yòuzi) and clementines (júzi 橘子) oh My! Why can’t it always be pomelo season? BONUS: citrus peels are tossed into the fires over which the 腊肉 làròu is smoked giving it a zesty punch.

HOT. BEER. Zhǔ píjiǔ 煮啤酒 Because cold beer is bad for healthy – but that won’t stop you from drinking.  Dry pot and roast fish places boil up a brew through the winter that is meant to keep you warm. Add ginger, fermented rice, goji and jujubes and heat it up. It ends up more like a mulled beer.

Gotta make hay while the sun shines right? For real though, its pretty good, and you’re definitely not going to drink it in the summer.

Fireworks

 Because everyone likes the power in their hands and the fire in the skies! China invented fireworks, but you can’t just get them so easily any time of year. The shops get rolled out in the lead up to Chinese New Year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get them in bulk and stay fired up throughout the winter. They also get cheaper right after the new year….  Just sayin’.

Even if you have the fear of the fire (always use safely) you can keep your eyes to the skies and just enjoy them wholesomely. Note that you’re not allowed not set them off within the third ring road.
