Trade in Song-Dynasty Chengdu

Learn how a historical city traded by making decisions inside a role-play market rather than only reading labels.

Price and availability are confirmed after the date, group size and supplier readiness are verified. No payment is requested at this stage.

Inside the experience

A market makes history active.

Why this experience

Trade becomes easier to understand when participants must choose goods, negotiate value and respond to the constraints of another time.

What the group will explore

The final learning format depends on museum dates, age rules and curriculum permission. MIC confirms an authorised activity or builds a guided evidence-based alternative.

What you will take away

A participatory understanding of urban trade and a clearer link between museum evidence, economic choice and the development of Chengdu.

Request First. The final host, access, route, language support, timing and price are confirmed only after MIC checks the date, group profile and supplier readiness.

“The aim is not simply to see more. It is to understand what you are seeing — and who is behind it.”
