Sichuan has teahouses in towns and cities everywhere. There is a saying, "China has the best teahouses in the world and Sichuan has the best teahouses in China."
Located on the streets in Sichuan Province, teahouses serve unique local cuisine and are home to the true local living style. Teahouses have been an important home for social interaction and gathering place since ancient time.
Whichever tea house you go into, you can appreciate the strong style of Sichuan: the bamboo chairs, the square tables, the particular tea sets, the cooper teapots and the special skill of filling water by Dr. Tea, the name given to the tea waiters in Sichuan.
You can also watch Chuanju Opera in tea houses. To attract the audience, Chuanju masters developed a unique sense of humor and performance skills, such as mask changing and knife play.
