Highlights

Combining the dual IPs of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and "Dreams of Splendor of the Eastern Capital," visitors transform into refined scholars of Bianjing entering the painting. They dine with celebrities like Li Qingzhao and Zhang Zeduan, discuss poetry over tea, and transition from spectators to "figures within the painting," deeply experiencing the aesthetic life of the Song Dynasty.
It covers scenes like "Flower Queen Competition" and "All Nations Paying Tribute," combined with original music. It also uses naked-eye 3D light and shadow to present movable type printing, blending technology with tradition to deliver a stunning audio-visual experience.
Product details
  • The Riverside Feast at Qingming Festival is an immersive cultural dining experience inspired by the Northern Song Dynasty masterpiece "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by Zhang Zeduan. Blending Song Dynasty dining etiquette, culinary techniques, and urban customs, it's hailed as a "living museum of Song Dynasty gastronomy." This feast not only recreates the vibrant street life of the era but also allows diners to immerse themselves in imperial-level...
  • The show employs "scenario-based storytelling," opening with a stunning naked-eye 3D recreation of the bustling Bianhe Canal water transport. This seamlessly transitions into "eight acts across ten scenes": exotic Hu dancers showcase foreign charm, while Nuo mask celebrations convey vibrant folk customs. Actors' costumes are meticulously restored based on "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" and "Court Ladies Preparing Newly Woven Silk," with accessories detailing patterns and materials down to the finest elements—transporting diners straight to the Northern Song Dynasty's capital, Dongjing.
  • Waiters, dressed in ruqun and putou, greet guests with a "crossed-hand salute," serving dishes with silver utensils during meals. Each imperial dish is accompanied by a historical guide – for example, "Dragon Scroll Black Jade Slices" originates from Bao Zheng's banquet recipes, and "Hundred Blessings Skewered Delicacies" recreates Emperor Huizong's birthday banquet dim sum. After the meal, a tea ceremony is presented, showcasing meticulous imperial style.
  • During the meal, "palace attendants" provide dedicated staff assistance, offering exclusive service from dish presentation to explanations, complemented by surround sound and lighting effects, allowing diners to truly experience the imperial dining customs of the Song Dynasty.

  • The Along the River During the Qingming Festival Song Dynasty Banquet combines performance, service, and cuisine. Dancers in Song Dynasty attire perform various dances, while lighting recreates the ambiance of the era. Servers follow Song Dynasty etiquette, transporting diners back in time to enjoy an immersive imperial-style feast filled with Song Dynasty charm.

  • Actors dressed as Song Dynasty characters, with women holding exquisite lanterns and vendors interacting with guests. Performers engage with diners during the banquet, while dancers in vibrant Song-style costumes perform, creating an immersive experience of Song Dynasty life and feasting that transports diners to a grand ancient banquet.

  • Projection technology showcases natural scenes like swaying emerald bamboo, complemented by elegant Chinese lanterns and carved wooden decorations, creating a poetic atmosphere. Dancers gracefully move through the interplay of light and shadow, as if transcending time and space.

  • Visually appealing signature dishes served with exquisite tableware not only delight the palate but also visually satisfy diners' imagination of Song Dynasty cuisine, offering a comprehensive experience of imperial banquet charm from that era.
