Sichuan cuisine is known for its spice; always specify your preferred spice level ('wei la' for slightly spicy, 'zhong la' for medium, 'te la' for very spicy) or ask for 'bu la' if you prefer no spice.
Carry cash (RMB) for smaller vendors and street food, though mobile payment (WeChat Pay/Alipay) is widely accepted in most establishments.
Stay hydrated, especially during warmer months, and try local teas which are abundant in the region.
Be open to communal dining experiences; sharing dishes is a common and friendly practice in China.
