Haha, this year's birthday is so special This is the first time I dress up as Xiao Wei for a birthday party I love the immersive dining experience in ancient costumes. I have big peaches to eat today I also met the God of Wealth, Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, Taishang Laojun and other immortals. The melody of Journey to the West seems to ring in my ears🎶 Spring Festival ~ Welcome the God of Wealth ~ Birthdays are done here in one day ~ Full sense of ceremony ~ Fairyland treasures are exquisite and delicious The flame beef was amazing, and I also loved the cheese prawns, pigeon, and shrimp dumplings. The birthday banquet of the gods is really nice haha Make a wish in the New Year and it will come true~🎂🙏
