This Chengdu hotpot restaurant is so fascinating—enjoy Sichuan opera while dining!

🥰 Hey guys! How can you visit Chengdu without trying hotpot? Today, I’m introducing a super unique hotpot spot in Chengdu that combines Sichuan opera, face-changing culture, and ancient architecture aesthetics—Xiaolong Fan Dajiang Cultural Hotpot (Kuanzhai Branch)! 🎭 Highlights: - Sichuan opera performances start at 7 PM nightly: face-changing, rolling lamp, and kung fu tea art right beside your table! Spicy broth paired with traditional arts—an immersive Bashu cultural experience. (Arrive early to snag a good seat!) Watching face-changing while eating is truly one-of-a-kind. 🎭 Performance times: Daily 6:30–7:30 PM (face-changing + kung fu tea show). 💫 Ambience: 1️⃣ The majestic golden dragon at the entrance is a showstopper! Five-clawed dragon + throne photo spot—every shot looks epic. 2️⃣ The second-floor dining area is a full ancient-style theater! Pavilions, bridges, and flowing water, with private rooms named after martial arts moves. 🌟 Signature dishes: 1️⃣ **Xiaolong Fan Dajiang**: A 1-meter-long dragon boat feast! Featuring beef chuck, black tiger shrimp paste, and dragon claw mushrooms, served with a "dotting the eyes" ritual. 2️⃣ **Crystal Ice Ball Goose Intestine**: Kept fresh in an ice globe, just 15 seconds in the pot for a crispy, bouncy bite. 3️⃣ **Bamboo Fungus Dragon Fish**: Handmade shrimp paste wrapped in fresh bamboo fungus—best in the mild broth. The fungus soaks up the soup, delivering a tender, springy texture. 4️⃣ **Xiaolong Fresh Eel**: Whole eel with firm, non-fishy meat. 5️⃣ **Kung Fu Bamboo Shoots**: Sliced ultra-thin with beautiful plating—ready in seconds, crisp and refreshing. A must-order veggie dish. ‼️ Tips: As a cultural hotpot icon in Chengdu: - Flavor: 8/10 - Ambience: 10/10 - Experience: 9/10 Bringing out-of-town friends here will earn you major praise for your taste!
