We're in Chengdu,it is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. In the interior of the country, it has always been an isolated place, free from Western influence, and remains the most Chinese of China's megacities. Nearly 1,000 miles from Beijing, deep in the heartland in Sichuan province, Chengdu is known as one of the culinary capitals of China. The food here is the hottest in China and increasingly famous all over the world for its distinctive fiery flavours. A real variety. We've come to Chengdu's spice market to explore the explosive tastes that make Sichuan food so unique. This place is like the core, the heart, the mother-ship of spicy Sichuan food.
