  Chengdu is depicted in a poem as "Chengdu Landscape, habitat of giant pandas and city of cotton-rose hibiscus. Benefiting from Dujiangyan Irrigation Project which was constructed in 256 B.C., Sichuan Province is reputed as "Tian Fu Zhi Guo", literally a place richly endowed with natural resources. Sampling the famous Sichuan cuisine is a must on a trip to Chengdu. Enjoying the food as well as the culture, shopping and having tea at a teahouse afford a deeper understanding of Chengdu.
  Sichuanese don't feel hunger pangs, so much as their rear ends stop burning, signaling dangerously low blood-levels of red pepper and capsicum. Most of the dainties to be found on Wuhouci Street, from the boiled chicken feet to the lantern-skin beef, will give off vapors of spice, and a fiery sheen. What most foreign-devils don't know is that the antidote sits on most every table: vinegar. Douse everything with it first; your snacks may taste a trifle tart, but the faces you make will be less disturbing than the scene you'll create if you get an unadulterated dose of Sichuan pepper, shocking nearby babies into spitting out their chili pacifiers.
