We use "food" as a carrier to innovatively integrate palace etiquette, intangible cultural heritage performances and contemporary Food and Beverages experience, reshaping "touchable history and tasteable culture" for urban people. This 90-minute banquet experience is a double feast for vision and taste.

During the meal, immersive performances are performed in turn, allowing diners to experience the charm of traditional culture while satisfying their taste buds:

  • Guzheng Solo: A musician dressed in Hanfu plucked the strings with his fingertips, and the melodious tunes of "High Mountain and Flowing Water" and "Fisherman's Song at Dusk" lingered in the hall, instantly filling the room with an ancient atmosphere;
  • Kunqu Opera excerptsProfessional actors in exquisite costumes performed the excerpt "Dream in the Garden" from The Peony Pavilion. Their sleeves fluttered and their singing was graceful, as if they were traveling through a thousand-year-old stage.
  • Palace Dance Show: The dancers, dressed in gold-embroidered palace costumes, performed the "Jinghong Dance" to the beat of drums. Their skirts fluttered like butterfly wings, contrasting with the palace lanterns and screens in the hall, making it seem as if they were in an ancient palace.

In the restaurant, the vermilion tea sets and tableware are exquisite and elegant, placed on the table, exuding a classical charm.

The meals are exquisite and sophisticated, with cold appetizers served in glass cups, and the presentation resembles a Jiangnan ink painting;

The main course, "Kung Pao Crystal Shrimp Balls," is plump and coated in amber sauce; the "Slow-cooked Beef Ribs" are tender and flavorful; and the "Crab Roe Braised Tofu" is fresh and rich.

The dessert "Lotus Crisp" blooms layer by layer, paired with Mingqian Longjing tea, which relieves greasiness and adds elegance.
