Sip on a cup of Chongqing tuo tea, a bold, earthy brew, as your guide explains why mahjong became so popular in Chongqing's steep, crowded neighborhoods. Learn the unwritten rules of playing with locals and how mahjong fits into the city's famous "slowing down" culture.
Afterward, learn how to recognize mahjong tiles, the basic rules of Chongqing-style mahjong, and how scoring works. Discover local expressions used at the mahjong table .
Finally, put your new skills to the test with a friendly match. Play a relaxed game with your group and new friends, and take home a printed rule card as a souvenir.
