Build a trip to Chengdu
Located within the stunning Temple House hotel, The Pavilion offers what is arguably the most stylish afternoon tea in Chengdu. The setting is a beautifully restored Qing Dynasty courtyard house. The sensory experience is one of quiet luxury, with a menu that blends traditional English afternoon tea with local Sichuanese ingredients like goji berries or jasmine. The atmosphere is serene and exclusive, a world away from the busy Taikoo Li shopping streets just outside. Expert recommendation: Their seasonal themed teas are highly creative and change frequently. Pro tip: Ask for a seat in the outdoor courtyard if the weather is clear to enjoy the architectural details of the heritage building.
