Shanghai Palace Banquet｜Highly Recommended Imperial-Level Visual Feast

I've always felt that the newest and coolest consumer experiences are in Shanghai. Although I had some expectations about the palace banquet, it truly matches the scale of an ancient emperor’s feast. The visual feast is impressive, and the details are well executed. Highly recommended👍 next level! 🌟From a girl's perspective, "I’m here just to wear ancient costumes!" There are so many beautiful Hanfu styles: qixiong ruqun, large-sleeved shirts, mamen skirts. It’s best to come at 5 PM to choose your outfit and take photos. When the banquet starts at 7 PM and more people arrive, it becomes harder to take smooth photos~ 📷 Get your makeup and styling done before 6 PM to welcome the golden photo time! The lobby is almost empty, and the whole scene feels like you’ve booked the place exclusively🤣 The carved beams, red lanterns, folding screens, and pavilions create a great atmosphere. Every shot looks like a movie blockbuster! 🍱 The overall food is decent, not as disappointing as some online reviews say! After each performance, a dish is served, with lighting and projections introducing the historical story behind the dish. The performers’ ancient costume dances are delicate and moving, creating a very atmospheric experience💕 ✔️ Similar to Japanese omakase, dishes are served one by one. Before the main banquet starts, you can choose your favorite teacup and enjoy small snacks paired with a small pot of Da Hong Pao tea per person; there’s also a “maid” serving a sweet rice wine-like drink! 💰 Banquet prices are divided into lunch and dinner: - Lunch: VIP seat 498 RMB/person, banquet seat 398 RMB/person - Dinner: VIP seat 698 RMB/person, banquet seat 498 RMB/person 👗 About changing outfits: - Outfit plus hairstyle: 100 RMB/person - Outfit, hairstyle, and makeup: 200 RMB/person (If you go on your birthday, makeup is free, saving you 200 RMB) 📍 No. 1485 Beijing West Road, Building 1, Jing’an Temple Street
