If you've been to Chengdu, you may have noticed people receiving what looks like ear surgery right on the street! In fact, they're getting their ears cleaned by licensed professionals. These practitioners use thin bamboo spoons to remove ear wax, followed by a miniature feather duster to gently tickle the ear canal. The treatment finishes with the flick of a pair of tongs that send a pleasant twang through your ear. Don't be afraid to give it a try – you might just find yourself enjoying it!
