You're not just a guest but an active participant in the story, guided by elegantly dressed performers through a captivating narrative centered around a family banquet and intertwined destinies. Each exquisitely prepared dish served live corresponds to pivotal plot moments, allowing you to taste the story's emotional journey. This is far more than a meal—it's a fully immersive, multisensory exploration of Chinese artistry.
