Product details

* The restaurant is built on a technological foundation of 270° panoramic views and 360° immersive sound, allowing diners to "travel" across China's landscapes without leaving their tables — the misty rain of Jiangnan unfolds across the table with each dish, the emerald waves of the Li River seem to ripple between cups, and the Yellow River's waterfalls appear to cascade around them. The virtual panda chef "Bao Bao" guides guests through a culinary journey across seven regions, with each dish embodying the essence of local culture.

Beyond taste, a multi-dimensional experience unfolds progressively: Tea masters pair each dish with exclusive tea beverages. Between courses, performances like water sleeve dance, Sichuan opera face-changing, and Shaolin kung fu take turns on stage, while tabletop interactive games offer virtual fishing and ink calligraphy experiences. Choose from hundreds of meticulously researched Hanfu and ethnic costumes, with professional makeup transforming diners into "figures in a painting," harmoniously complementing the light and shadow effects.

* The service team combines professionalism with warmth, meticulously guiding guests through the stories behind each dish, such as the garden design inspiration for "Jiangnan Four Small Dishes."

* The culinary passport after the meal records the cultural codes of each dish, while the Jingdezhen porcelain tableware embodies intangible cultural heritage. Starting from the century-old buildings along the Bund, this two-hour feast transcends mere dining, becoming a vivid window into understanding the flavors and culture of China.

  • The makeup and styling are diverse and highly distinctive, with exquisite silver ornaments and intricate patterns showcasing the brilliance of ethnic craftsmanship. The overall look blends traditional and modern, ethnic and fashionable styles, fully displaying the richness and charm of Chinese costume culture.

  • A fusion of tradition and modernity with a fashionable touch, featuring Tang and Han dynasty-style makeup and hairstyling, as well as modernized qipao styling that combines traditional qipao with contemporary embroidery and sequin techniques. This blend not only preserves traditional forms and craftsmanship but also innovates in style and design, collectively painting a vibrant picture of traditional costume culture evolving with the times.

  • A figure dressed in traditional Zhuang ethnic attire. The Zhuang people are one of China's largest ethnic minorities, with a long history and rich culture, showcasing their unique folk customs and cultural charm.

  • The restaurant creates a Chinese garden-like backdrop through projections, combining dance with light and shadow to offer diners an immersive cultural and visual experience.

  • Performers dressed in light green Hanfu hold teacups and demonstrate tea art, allowing you to experience the elegance of traditional tea ceremony.

  • Diners either capture moments or actively participate, as the restaurant showcases ethnic culture and enhances the dining experience with cultural immersion.

  • The Sichuan Opera face-changing performance scene features performers in elaborate costumes, with the rapid transformation of masks captivating diners who eagerly take photos. This integration of Sichuan Opera, an intangible cultural heritage, into the dining experience allows guests to savor delicious cuisine while appreciating the unique charm of traditional theater.

  • The restaurant integrates martial arts culture into the dining experience through a combination of martial arts performances and light-shadow technology, offering diners a dual impact of visual and cultural immersion.

  • Demonstrating traditional Chinese tea-making techniques, performers in traditional attire meticulously carry out tea art operations.

  • The image of a panda dressed in traditional Chinese attire set against a classical garden backdrop, paired with bilingual subtitles, creates a scene rich in technological flair and cultural ambiance.

  • The screen displays the beautiful coastal scenery of Sanya, Hainan, creating a delightful atmosphere of enjoying delicious food amidst the stunning surroundings.

  • Dressed in ancient costumes, the performer holds a pipa against the backdrop of a scenic garden landscape. In the dimly lit setting, the performer and the beautiful scenery create a unique tableau, as if reenacting a classical cultural scene, conveying the beauty of traditional art.

  • On the stage, there are panda figures dressed in chef's attire, surrounded by people in either formal wear or distinctive costumes, creating a lively atmosphere.

  • The dishes are exquisitely presented, some resembling miniature garden landscapes, others akin to artistic sculptures, and some paired with elegant tableware and decorations. Each dish offers both visual appeal and anticipation of delightful flavors.
