Any honest,cultural guides, or locals wanting to show us the authentic-non tourist side of Chengdu?

We will be in CD April 30 & May 1st. We want see the Panda Research Center. We will also drive to see the awesome Leshan Budda. But after this, we want to enjoy the local people, learn the foods of the area, & see the non-tourist CD. Anyone able to help us with all or any of the above?
