Experience the laid-back lifestyle of Chengdu with a traditional ear cleaning session at Shuxiaojiang.

Chengdu's ear cleaning is not only an intangible cultural heritage skill but also a "little pleasure" found in every street and alley. With a slender ear scoop, a goose feather stick, and the crisp vibration of a tuning fork, seasoned masters use decades of craftsmanship to "stir up a storm" in your ear canal, delivering a tingling, slightly itchy sensation that's utterly addictive.

In the teahouses of People's Park and Kuanzhai Alley, ear-cleaning masters often roam with their toolkits, their call of "Ear cleaning?" tempting passersby to give it a try. Lying back on bamboo chairs, visitors close their eyes in relaxation as the gentle scraping and resonant humming transport them to cloud nine. This folk art, originating from traditional barbers, has become a must-try experience in Chengdu's "slow living" culture—even travelers can't help but exclaim, "So darn comfortable!"
