Have you always been fascinated by Chinese culture but too busy for a trip to Asia? Well now you can discover the mysteries of the Orient without leaving Los Angeles when you join your SingularCity friends as we venture to the Far East – the east part of Los Angeles that is, to the San Gabriel Valley, home of one of the largest Chinese populations in America.
Amber Chen, from Taiwan, will be our singular tour guide on this exciting and fun adventure that begins with a tea tasting at Tea Station where we will learn how tea is an essential part of Chinese culture as we sip our choice of this soothing and refreshing beverage.
When you're in China, exploring the markets is a must so we'll explore 99 Ranch, the huge local Chinese market where we’ll find Oriental goodies such as sweet sour plum and pineapple cake.
Then we're off to Shinsen Ginseng & Herbs, a traditional Chinese herb pharmacy to learn how practitioners have used herbs like ginseng for centuries to effectively treat and cure ailments.
Our next stop is LH Foot Care for an authentic reflexology session that consists of a head-to-toe massage and acupressure treatment. Sitting in comfortable recliners, we'll enjoy a one-hour treatment that will align our energy and relieve the stress of our busy singular lifestyle.
With our appetite peaked, we'll will sit down together for an authentic, multiple course Shanghai-style dinner at Mei-Long Village where we will enjoy their famous Soup Dumplings, an all-time favorite dimsum steamed in bamboo baskets; the Lion Head in Brown Sauce which combines savory, stewed pork and cabbage; and other Chinese dishes such as Dry Sauteed String Bean and Bean Curd in Hot Garlic Sauce.
Tickets are $45 and includes: tea at Tea Station, herb samples at Shinsen Ginseng & Herbs, the tour through 99 Ranch Market, the one-hour Chinese foot massage at LH Foot Massage, the multiple course Chinese dinner at Mei Long Village – as well as the services of our expert guide Amber Chen who will provide us with all kinds of inside information about Chinese culture and customs.
Tickets must be purchased in advance. Buy your ticket today!
