About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Donald F0 contributionsA very, surprisingly amazing experienceAn absolutely amazing experience with acrobats and other performers that you will never see it anywhere besides China. An amazing experience and must see. The venue could certainly be much cleaner and in a better area of town, but the performers more than make up for all of thatWritten 22 March 2025
- Dreamer542732565680 contributionsAmazing experienceI had an absolutely wonderful Hutong tour - Maggie is amazing! She is a very knowledgeable, dedicated, funny and warm-hearted person and tour guide. I learned a lot about China's culture and traditions in general and the Hutongs in Beijing in particular. I am very thankful for this experience and I hope that I will have the chance to book another tour with the company/with Maggie in the future! Thank you for this special highlight during my stay in Beijing.Written 18 March 2025
- Carmen C0 contributionsExcellent service and experienceExcellent show! Booking the tickets this way through Li was absolutely the best decision for us. She helped us get our ticket codes very quickly and sent us extremely detailed instructions and pictures that took the stress out of the entire process. Basically once we got to the theatre, we were able to get our tickets and seats very easily. Our entire family loved the show!Written 17 March 2025

- funtripsrus0 contributionsA lovely daytrip outside BeijingI am so glad I chose this tour that takes you outside Beijing to the city of Tianjin by high speed train. We saw so many sites - the last emperor's residence, the porcelain house, Italian village, traditional shopping areas, and the waterfront area. Plus, we had a delicious lunch at a dumpling restaurant. Tianjin is famous in China for their dumplings. Our guide, Aaron, was excellent. He was super nice, took lots of photos of my husband and I, and explained things very well. I really appreciated that he ordered 2 special dumplings for me at the restaurant when I told him I mostly eat just vegetables. I highly recommend this tour. (The high speed train is the icing on the cake.)Written 12 February 2025
- B6554UYfedericag0 contributionsGreat show and clear organizationThe show is great and it's an immersion into chinese culture, with its traditional music and costumes. Acrobats are amazing! The organization was super Clear and all went smoothly, even if nobady at theatre spoke English ;) Li from organization contacted us to give us all important info and then to check if everything was ok, very nice and caring! I surely recommend!Written 20 January 2025

- Explorator20190 contributionsWonderful trip for a layover in Beijing!We had a layover in Beijing for 24 hours and we we decided to visit Great all. Sunflower organised the trip and Mr Cao was our driver. We arrived very early and , we had a meeting point at Starbucks. Mr Cao helped us with the luggage, the 7 seater car was clean. He drove us safely , showed us where to buy tickets and waited for us with no restrictions on how much time we spent at Great Wall . We highly recommend having a driver , it is worth it and what an opportunity to see this landmark. We really appreciate the wonderful communication with Sunflower. Thank you very much !!!Written 23 December 2024

Sunflower Li was fantastic as always! Had an amazing time. She is very professional and loves what she does. Communication was excellent and everything was well organised before and during the class.
I will definitely have more classes with her.
The food tasted so good and do different compared to the dumplings we get from the take away restaurant.
Really recommend it

My sisters and I wanted to celebrate my mom’s birthday and thought this would be a great activity to do altogether. We had a wonderful experience learning how to make Biang Biang hand pulled noodles with Sunflower Li. At first, we were hoping to make dim sum but Sunflower was kind enough to let us into her hand pulled noodles class due to a mix up with availability. Sunflower was extremely responsive and did a great job personalizing this experience for us. We truly enjoyed learning more about Chinese culture and the history behind this dish. It was a bit challenging to pull the noodles without breaking them at first, but we started to get the hang of it towards the end. We look forward to making this dish together as a family for years to come! 💕

On Christmas day no less, at very early in the morning for her, Li showed my family how to make some delicious steamed buns with enthusiasm and patience to spare. She helped us all follow her steps and even showed us some new cooking tricks passed down to her by her family. Not only all this, but she also introduced us to several facts and images of China that we’d never heard of. Who knew you could sled down the Great Wall of China?! All in all, the only feedback I’d give is to add sugar as a requirement for the recipe as we found that was essential for the dish, to add you’ll need an oven that can go as low as 110 degrees, and maybe to send people the recipe before class so in case they get lost, they can refer to some written down steps. Given the speed one can do things in the kitchen, the delay in recording, and unfamiliarity with a recipe, it can make a big difference having that anchor of something written down in case. All in all though, just suggestions as we still had a blast and can’t wait to make buns again! Thank you so so much for a wonderful Christmas together.

We had used Sunflower (Lei Li) as a guide in Beijing and had the best few days zipping between the sights and amazing secret lanes of food so when Sunflower started her online dumpling classes we knew we had to find a night to link up!
Tonight was the night so I went to the local Asian supermarket to get my supplies ( Sunflower supplies the list!) I bought a couple of things I haven’t used before and asked for advice on the best tofu to get.
I got everything prepared like I was in on a Cooking show which I highly recommend so when it comes time to cook you have it all measures and in little dishes.
Sunflower and our daughter Saskia have a lovely connection and shared memories of our time together on holiday, we brought out the panda and got cooking!
We made amazing pork dumplings (yea that is 150gm of chive!) and the mao Po tofu. We had lots of laughs and lots of “cheers” with our drinks. It felt like a night out.
If you’re after a fun evening and delicious food book this one in its an absolutely great night!

A family member bought me a lesson with Sunflower as a gift and I was extremely pleased with the experience!
Sunflower taught me her Mom's family hand-pulled noodle recipe, two ways. The dish was absolutely delicious! She is a fantastic teacher and we had so much fun getting to know each other, learning about Chinese culture and history, as well as getting a thorough education in noodle making and cooking techniques.
Sunflower made me feel very comfortable in the class, took good care of me as I was making the noodles and answered all my questions confidently. I felt her warmth and friendliness, and even though we were miles apart it was like being in the kitchen together. She has a very professional camera and lighting set up so you can see exactly what you need to do.
After we were done, Sunflower and I ate the noodles together which felt really nice. Later, she sent me the photos she took and also sent me the recipe. It was a nice reminder of our session and very useful. I will refer to this recipe for years to come.
With Sunflower you will have fun and learn important life skills, develop a friendship and also understand Chinese culture more deeply.
Hopefully I will one day come to visit China and perhaps take one of Sunflower's in person tours around the forbidden city, the summer palace ruins or the great wall... Or all of them!
Thank you, Sunflower, you are the best!

I have taken many cooking classes. Sunflower's class is one of the best! She is organized, altruistic, and a fantastic cook. She gives lots of tips and guides you to make sure that you succeed. She puts her heart into teaching, and the potstickers were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend her.

There were 11 of us from our company. Sunflower was sweet and a great instructor. My food tasted...AMAZING!! Even better the next day. We all couldn't stop talking about it. Additionally, Sunflower communicated well with me (when I accidentally booked at 6 am instead of 6 pm). This will forever be my go-to fried rice recipe.

Li was an amazing host! She's full of life and energy which really shined throughout the whole class. We had booked her for a team event with our company in celebration of Chinese New Year and it was an exceptional experience. I think what really stood out to me is her attention to detail, simplicity and the confidence she exerts in the virtual setting. I highly recommend and we 100% will book with her in the future again :)

Special occasion? Virtual team building event? Craving for authentic Beijing-style cuisine but can’t dine out (or travel) right now? Or just want to pick up a new skill (and have fun while learning)? Look no further!! Sunflower is not only kind and patient but she’s a fantastic cook AND teacher. She was also very accommodating of my food sensitivities, providing alternatives to gluten. Put Cooking with Sunflower on your bucket list - it’s an experience you will long remember.

Wonderful experience! My parents had so much fun, they loved the historic storytelling, her personal experiences, and her lovely personality. They loved learning the process, different professional techniques, and especially the finished product of the delicious dumplings! Such a fun and enjoyable experience and such a superb host! Also her production quality and set up was much appreciated. 10/10 experience, we're already looking for other classes to spend time and learn more from Chef Miss Li.
