Reviews: Shanghai Palace Banquet: Immersive experience of a royal feast thousands of years ago (fine Food and Beverages+ dance performance + Qin Dynasty historical and cultural experience + optional Clothes & Accessories and makeup)

This was really fun the food was delicious it’s a bit far from the main city of Shanghai but it’s worth coming out. Make sure you dress up too it’s worth doing the whole experience. My friend has dark skin and they first applied a too light foundation but I asked them to fix it and they did and she was happy in the end they’re very accomodating! My friend recommends you bring your own foundation for them to apply if you’re a little darker! Especially since they don’t accommodate to warm tones as most Chinese people are cool toned.

The Shanghai ERA Acrobatic Show was absolutely incredible. The performance exceeded all expectations, with stunning visuals, jaw-dropping acrobatics, and seamless storytelling. It was exactly as described, if not better. Booking via QR code was fast and hassle-free, making the whole experience smooth from start to finish. Perfect for friends looking for an unforgettable night out, we were blown away and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Shanghai.

I'm really satisfied with the final photos; they look so natural and effortless. The makeup artist's setting was perfect and quick, and the enhancements to my features were just right. The photographer guided me throughout the shoot, so I never felt awkward or unsure of what to pose; the whole process was very well-paced. I've already used several photos as my profile picture; the lighting is perfect. Several poses look great, and even the candid shots look very natural. Choosing the photos was a real struggle, but they're all so great! I'm so happy!

There were so many wonderful experiences, more diverse than what was described! With so many choices, you'll have a hard time deciding which one to go for. Arrive early! Naomi's commentary and explanations were excellent, and she was so friendly. She's fluent in both English and Korean, and has a great sense of humor, making the entire experience enjoyable. She was quick to respond to questions, and the location is great, so you should definitely stop by! Next time, I'll be back to try a different experience. I think there are about 20 different things to do.
Reviews: "Imperial Banquet Odyssey: A Millennium of Royal Dining"
Guest User2025-12-16
Meet and greet: No English spoken. No storage provided. Clothing - There is a choice. 170 cm short. 10 cm above the ankle. 4 stars. Fit - 5 stars. But there may be less flattering spots. Hair - painful. Hair done in less than 10 minutes. 4 stars. Makeup - overall, it looked good. It took about 10 minutes to do. BUT! The girl did someone else's makeup before me. And she didn't have the clearest skin, etc., and they started applying makeup to me with dirty brushes! I asked them to clean it or get new ones! The girl found one brush and quickly took the others so I didn't have time to notice. They applied my lips with a cotton swab, BUT they blended with a dirty brush! Hello, cold sores! I got up and immediately went to wash my lips with soap (hopefully it will pass)! I had a tinted lip balm with me, it saved me. I'll give it 2 stars for the lack of hygiene! They paint the dishes in the order they arrive. Food: I didn't like everything. But it was interesting to get to know the staff. I couldn't eat some of the sea creatures. 5 stars. The presentation was in Chinese. The dishes were dubbed in English.

I was completely captivated by the tour guide's charm! I initially thought it would be just a regular guided tour, but I was amazed by the guide's professionalism and enthusiasm! The entire tour was packed with information, making dry history sound like an engaging story. The guide was also incredibly considerate of everyone's feelings throughout the trip.
