Must See - Xi'an Imperial Banquet - Feast&Show Integration "Auspicious Lotus Feast"
Imagine that while enjoying exquisite Chinese cuisine, professional dancers, musicians and actors are by your side, presenting magnificent performances to tell you the thousand-year-old stories behind each dish. This is no ordinary dinner; it's a two-hour full-sensory immersive journey of Chinese culture.
"Auspicious Lotus Feast" is an immersive Tang-dynasty seasonal aesthetic dining spectacle that anchors its essence in the culture of High Tang while threading through the twenty-four solar terms. Through its "feast-performance integration" narrative, it melds imperial banquets, urban humanities, and Silk Road civilizations of the Tang dynasty into a singular experience. Centered on the concept of "one dish, one scene, one story", it interweaves six refined arts—ritual, music, poetry, dance, tea ceremony, and wine culture. With seasonal delicacies as the medium, it unfolds a panoramic tableau of the golden age across four seasons.
