A Must-Visit! Hongdingyan in Chengdu - An Immersive Hot Pot Experience

If you're traveling to Chengdu and want to explore authentic cuisine and unique culture, Hongdingyan is an absolute must-visit destination! The moment I stepped into Hongdingyan, I was awestruck by its 3,000-square-meter dreamlike space. The 12-meter pillar-free dome, dual giant screens, hundreds of lights, and rotating stage create an ancient banquet atmosphere that instantly transports you to the ancient Shu era, offering a fully immersive experience. The soup bases here are a highlight not to be missed. The lychee red broth is rich with a hint of sweetness, infusing every ingredient with robust flavor; the green plum sour broth is exceptionally refreshing, perfect for seafood and vegetables to cut through the richness. Each guest gets their own individual divided pot, ensuring hygiene while allowing you to enjoy two flavors simultaneously. The dishes are presented like works of art. Served in colored glass vessels, the Drunken Imperial Concubine Shrimp features tender shrimp arriving at your table with a dramatic mist effect; the Exquisite Eight Flavors offers multiple tastes in one dish, each bite a delight with premium fresh ingredients. The most delightful surprise is the seven-course dining performance. The drum dance is powerfully majestic with dynamic movements; the Sichuan Opera face-changing act in "New Rhymes of Sichuan Opera" wows the crowd instantly; and the performance depicting the love story of Wenjun and Xiangru is both touching and vivid. Each show corresponds to a dish, making the combination of gourmet food and performance utterly delightful. The restaurant also offers exceptional service, providing over 200 sets of traditional costumes from different dynasties, with professional styling teams to create your ancient look. Dressed in these gorgeous outfits and taking beautiful photos, you'll feel like the star of an ancient Shu banquet. Whether it's the culinary experience or cultural immersion, Hongdingyan delivers perfection. When in Chengdu, you must visit to enjoy this unique hot pot cultural feast - it will undoubtedly become an unforgettable travel memory!
