Trip.com runs a dedicated Chengdu ear-cleaning topic page but sells no ticket on it. The price range comes from the Heming Teahouse Moments page (CNY 50-80 for the heritage service) and local reporting (CNY 30 at People's Park, CNY 60 at Kuanzhai Alley and Jinli). Treat it as a cash, on-the-spot purchase.
