Following the morning's activities, we ventured to savor the delightful cuisine of Chengdu's famous hotpot. The flavors were nothing short of amazing, and the spiciness added a thrilling twist to our taste buds. The hotpot experience was a first for many of us, and it was truly fantastic. Accompanied by an opera performance and a masterful face-changing artist, our meal was a memorable cultural experience.

I must express my gratitude to the organizers for their thoughtful arrangement of a Halal table to accommodate our Muslim friends, reflecting the respect and inclusivity that Chinese people extend to other religions.

Our day continued with a visit to Sanse Road, where we immersed ourselves in the vibrant night market economy. The street was adorned with symbols of love, and at every turn, we felt the warmth and hospitality of the locals. We explored a market brimming with Chinese cultural treasures and were treated to a performance by a local singer who serenaded us with the soulful Chengdu song. I can now proudly sing some of its lyrics in Chinese.
