Attend a grand feast in the paradise of Jiangnan: Hangzhou Palace Banquet

I heard that the Hangzhou Palace Banquet was being held in the paradise of the human world, so I descended from the celestial realm to attend this immersive visual, auditory, and gustatory feast of Jiangnan Song Dynasty charm in 2025! It was truly magnificent, indescribable, and stunning!
At the Zhejiang World Trade Center, I instantly traveled through time and space. I received a token from the beautiful palace maids at the front desk, selected my favorite costume from hundreds of ancient outfits, and had the makeup artist transform me into a celestial butterfly fairy. Surrounded by handsome and beautiful nobles from various dynasties, it was truly a feast for the eyes!
The circular Hangzhou Palace Banquet made me feel like I was in the midst of a grand feast. Before the banquet, there were Song Dynasty tea performances and Han Dynasty wine toasting performances. After the banquet began, the performances were even more spectacular and dazzling! From the fire of Liangzhu in Hangzhou to the leisurely Water Melody, the beauty of the celestial painter in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, the life of Hangzhou's governor Su Shi, the classic drama of Liang Zhu, the elaborate palace costume shows, the enticing Western Region dance, the enchanting Flower Hairpin Man, to the lively New Year market, and even the unique chef's curtain call show. The lighting, stage design, costumes, water curtain, and realistic scenes of rain, snow, and flying flowers, combined with the actors' appearances, were stunning!
The seating, tableware, dishes, and service at the palace banquet were all in the style of Jiangnan's palace cuisine. The stove brewed Da Hong Pao tea in a purple clay teapot, the crystal goblet held osmanthus green plum wine, the arch bridge had four cold dishes, salted meat tofu pot, nourishing stewed fish maw, black truffle shrimp balls, slow-cooked beef, green crab noodle soup, cinnamon jasmine drink, spring noodles, candied haws, and osmanthus yogurt. Each dish had a light and shadow introduction, and I enjoyed the performances while eating, savoring the food culture of Jiangnan!
Each palace banquet performance and dish varied, and I was very satisfied and liked the beautiful meal that took four hours to eat. This Spring Festival, the first Han culture food theater palace banquet in the country, following the Beijing Palace Banquet and Shanghai Palace Banquet, is a must-visit with family, friends, and clients to taste the work of the imperial banquet heir!
