Grand Palace Banquet
  • 《A Picture at Every Turn: Immersive Palace Scenes, Exclusive Photo Hotspots》 Based on historical classics, the event venue is transformed into a magnificent palace courtyard. Vermilion palace gates, golden eaves, and intricately carved columns stand in abundance, complemented by palace lantern corridors, winding streams, and layered screens. The ground is covered with cloud-patterned carpets, and sheer纱 curtains hang in the air, allowing you to capture every moment and create an immersive experience where "every step is a scene, every step is stunning." At the same time, holographic projection technology is used to project dynamic images such as dragons and phoenixes, and rainbow羽衣 clothes on the palace walls, allowing guests to feel as if they have traveled back to the millennium palace, experiencing the luxury and solemnity of the royal banquet, and allowing you to interact with the virtual grand scene in real time, and easily take stunning photos that blend technology and ancient style.
  • 《Vivid and Aromatic, Freeze-Frame Performance: Frame with Performers, Record Dynamic Ancient Aesthetics》 Carefully choreographed ancient style performances, each dancer is a vivid protagonist in your photos. You can capture the graceful姿势 of the dancers and the details of the gorgeous服饰 up close. Under the dynamic lighting, every frame is like a classical painting. We encourage interactive photography, you can take photos with the musicians playing古琴 and琵琶, or record the magical moments of palace magic. These are no longer distant performances, but a living background that you can step into and become a part of the picture, filling your album with a sense of story.
  • 《Food and Color, Fragrant Delights: Ingeniously Plated Palace Cuisine, Photograph the Gorgeousness on Your Tongue》 Every delicacy here can be called a “tabletop work of art” and is an indispensable photo highlight during your banquet. From the fragrant Qin蜀 tea soup, crystal clear Qin palace酥点, to the elegantly摆盘 special cold dishes and main courses, all inherit ancient methods, with perfect color, aroma and taste. Especially suitable for俯拍 panoramic views to create a grand banquet atmosphere, or use close-ups to show the exquisite texture of the ingredients. Raise your glass and take a sip of Qin川 Spring wine, and you can capture the tipsy and pleasant ancient style moment, making the imperial meal journey on the tip of your tongue also an amazing visual record.
  • 《Transform into the Protagonist, Gorgeous Photo: Professional Makeup Blessing, Create a Personal Palace Makeup Photo》 We have carefully selected hundreds of replica palace服饰 and exquisite配饰 such as phoenix冠 and步摇, and specially invited a professional ancient style造型 team to tailor them for you. From solemn emperors to elegant佳人, help you transform instantly and deeply into the drama. Every scene here is your photo set - turning back sideways in front of the screen, holding a fan to cover your face under the廊柱, overlooking the distance at the railing…

What to expect

  • A grand palace banquet embodies half of China's ceremonial culture; every frame is a masterpiece, every step a scenic view. Sheng Palace Banquet is not only a feast for the senses but also a mobile photography paradise, inviting you to capture timeless elegance within a millennium of tradition.
  • The restaurant is set against an ancient imperial court backdrop, from the Qin Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties. Every scene is meticulously recreated with flowing light and shadow and attention to detail, ensuring every snapshot becomes a classic ancient-style scene. Whether it's the backdrop of carved beams and painted rafters or the elegant display of ornaments, everything creates an immersive photographic atmosphere, allowing the lens to travel through time and record the glory of the imperial court.
  • As the first "Traditional Culture" performance restaurant in Songjiang District, Shanghai, Sheng Palace Banquet integrates imperial banquets, exquisite Hanfu attire, and immersive performances to create a multi-dimensional, photographable, and trendy Chinese cultural experience space. From the moment you step into the restaurant, you enter a royal setting where every corner is picture-perfect, and every turn is a painting.
  • At Sheng Palace Banquet, photography goes beyond still life to capture the beauty of movement. Ancient musical instrument performances, traditional operas, classical dances, and theatrical performances… every performance is designed for the lens, allowing you to capture the charm and posture of the actors while enjoying the show, creating image works full of stories.
  • We innovatively present each dish, not only inheriting ancient methods in taste but also resembling art in form. Each plate is an edible "ancient painting," stimulating your photographic inspiration with light, shadow, and擺盤 (arrangement). Between banquets, from the serving ceremony to the interactive sessions, there are scenes to photograph and emotions to record everywhere.
  • Sheng Palace Banquet also features a Hanfu experience area, offering gorgeous costumes and makeup services in various dynasties, allowing you to dress up and transform into a character in the play, walk through the palace banquet scenes, and easily shoot a set of personal ancient-style portraits. We use "food" as a medium and "photography" as a record, creating a 90-minute photographic feast that resonates with both sight and taste.
