Taste delight - What a phenomenal experience! The market visit and cooking class with Fancy was an incredible way to end of China travels! We learned so much at the market and made delicious food with guidance from Fancy.

Great experience! - We had a great time! We started with a market visit and learned a lot about fruits, vegetables & spices. Afterwards we started cooking. Great experience also for tje kids!

Special experience, definitely do! - My group did EN other excursion and I never regretted not coming. We first did a wan DEling about the market where not many tourists came. Then went to her house, where we first got tea EN fruit. Then prepared a simple meal. Super fun to do. Fancy’s husband also has a super nice bakery at home with real croissants! There's really nice sandwiches. Highly recommended!

Great time - We were a small group of three persons with Fancy. Fancy took us to the local market and explained and showed many interesting things on the market. Ingredients for cooking were bought during the tour on the market. For cooking we did three courses. Fancy taught us well and the three Naxi dishes were very delicious. Thank you very much for the great time and cooking lessons! :-)

A Hidden Gem in Lijiang - For tourists wanting to experience the actual culture of Lijiang outside of the commercialized Gucheng, this class is for you. Fancy is extremely knowledgeable about all the things in the locals’ market and was able to answer all of our questions. Thanks to her expertise, we bought the freshest ingredients to make our lunch, which we ate at her very charming bakery. This was an excellent way to spend the morning and one of the highlights

A fabulous moment of discovery - Moment of discovery and sharing fabulous. Fancy is amazing! She introduced us to the market by explaining local customs. A beautiful discovery! Then cooking class where we learned succulent and tasty naxi recipes! I highly recommend if you want to know more about naxi cuisine and culture!

Fantastic market tour and cooking class - This tour was a hightlight of our trip to China. The market tour was fantastic, with our guide Fancy giving us insight into the various ingredients for Chinese Tradional Medicine, identifying new and interesting produce and introducing us to various local treats. The market is definitely local, and provided a glimpse into day to day life. Our family were the only participants, and Fancy was able to cater the tour to us. Besides being knowledgable in the content, Fancy is also fluent in at least French and English, possibly more? The cooking portion was well prepared, well laid out and explained. We made 3 dishes, and then had a lovely lunch in the leafy courtyard. The food was delicious, and we also took advantage of the delicious french style bakery on site. It is also part of the family business and is worth the visit all on its own. If I was to make one suggestion, it would be to make the recipes availble either as a paper or .pdf to take home. This was a perfect morning on our trip, and was well worth the (small) splurge for us.

A wonderful culinary and cultural experience - Fancy was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide through the market. She explained so many things about her Naxi culture and the ingredients that are incorporated into their cuisine. Her cooking school is very modern but with a beautiful courtyard she shares with her husband’s bakery. The food was absolutely delicious and the explanations of the steps of the recipe were very clear. We had a wonderful experience.

Not to be missed:) - Exceptional moment of sharing and learning 🤩 Fancy taught us a lot and the recipes are delicious!! Warmly recommended 🫶

Wonderful Market Tour & Cooking Experience in Lijiang! - This was truly one of the best markets we've ever visited — vibrant, colorful, and full of life. Our fantastic guide, Fancy, made it even more special with her warm personality, deep local knowledge, and fun little tastings throughout the tour. She gave us such great insight into Naxi culture and ingredients, which made the experience so much richer. And that was all before the cooking even began! The cooking class itself was just as wonderful. It was hands-on, engaging, and so much fun — especially for our son, who had a blast getting involved. We learned to make several delicious dishes, and we’ll definitely be recreating the “ghost chicken” at home — it was a standout! Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Lijiang — it’s a perfect mix of culture, flavor, and fun.
