What you can expect

  • Nestled in the core scenic area of Shichahai‑Drum Tower, Beijing, Yongle Imperial‑Banquet is an immersive dining‑and‑performance experience themed on the court culture of the prosperous Yongle reign in the Ming Dynasty. It integrates Hanfu costume change, live‑action drama shows, imperial‑style gourmet tasting and ancient‑style photo‑shooting, delivering a time‑travel‑like Chinese‑style experience defined by “One feast, one drama. Step in the hall, step into the palace”.
    Dishes are served in a storey‑driven sequence. NPC performers act as royal attendants and present courses following ancient Ming‑Dynasty court serving rituals. Traditional dances, folk music and opera episodes are arranged to match each course. Live shows are staged close to diners with interactive sessions, blurring the boundary between performers and audience. Guests become participants in this grand royal feast, rather than mere diners.
    The menu features over ten refined, re‑imagined imperial‑style dishes, including Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Peking Duck, premium pork meatballs and braised pork. Local Beijing flavours and mainstream tastes are well‑balanced. You can freely go sightseeing and take photos after dinner.
    Positioned as an atmospheric cultural‑tourism experience, it is ideal for tourist visits, friend gatherings, Chinese‑style team‑building and date nights. It stands out as a distinctive Chinese‑style experience in the Shichahai district.
