Chengdu is known for it's classic hot pot, which is a pot of broth placed on a burner at the centre of the table, accompanied by selected vegetables and meats for you to cook inside. It usually is thinly sliced beef, dumplings, seafood, leafy greens, etc.
Another thing however, I noticed that it caused certain travellers to mark on the back of the bathroom stall doors "fucking hot pot!".
So it's at your own risk!
In this province, the broth is oily, spicy, and requires at least 2 people since you can't eat it all alone. I did not get a chance to try it in Chengdu, but keep posted for pictures on my hot pot experience in Beijing.
Here are some food shots in Chengdu:
