Step into Qingdao Lanqi Banquet, and the real royal palace scenery with carved beams and painted rafters instantly immerses you in a time-travel atmosphere. At the entrance, you can experience professional ancient costume makeup and dressing-up service; from headdresses, accessories to full costumes, all are restored to ancient styles, allowing you to transform into a royal noble and start an immersive journey. Palace maids lead you to your seat with elegant rituals, and exclusive refreshments are served upon sitting down, filling the sense of ritual from the moment you enter.
The whole experience lasts about 100 minutes, opening grandly with the magnificent Ritual of Qi to Greet Guests. The four themed performances of the Qi, Han, Tang and Song dynasties are staged in turn, interweaving classical dance, royal situational drama and intangible cultural heritage tea art performances. The actors' makeup and costumes are all restored to the styles of ancient paintings, allowing you to admire the millennial royal splendor with every step and every scene. There are also real-time interactive sessions, where actors interact with guests in a fun way, breaking the boundary between viewing and performing and bringing a strong sense of participation.
Each themed performance corresponds to an exquisitely crafted royal dish. Delicacies such as slow-cooked beef tenderloin, black truffle golden soup shrimp balls, royal braised sea cucumber and ancient-style crispy pastries are served in turn in accordance with ancient rituals. With one dish matching one dance and one story, the dishes restore ancient recipes and integrate modern cooking techniques, balancing taste and appearance. Intangible cultural heritage tableware is paired with delicate plate decorations, making each dish a double enjoyment of vision and taste. The integration of food and dance, and the accompaniment of scenery and food, allow guests to immerse themselves in the four-dynasty feast ritual culture while tasting royal meals.
At the end of the experience, the grand Huaguan Fangji royal costume show takes the stage as the finale, with colorful and elegant ancient costumes dancing gracefully, bringing this millennial royal feast by mountains and seas to a perfect end. You can also take photos with the actors when leaving to keep your exclusive time-travel memories.
