What to expect

Step into the Ba Country Hall of Chongqing Huali Banquet, where a panoramic immersive cultural dining show called "Ritual Banquet Ba Country" is unfolding. Rooted in Bayu culture and incorporating the essence of the four dynasties of Han, Tang, Song, and Ming, it leads guests on a banquet journey spanning a thousand years. The banquet completely breaks the traditional layout, adopting a "T-shaped stage + three-sided surround" dining table that resembles an ancient palace, allowing each diner to become a "guest of honor," immersing themselves in the performance at close range. In the 90-minute experience, food and song and dance are intertwined. As the ancient music sounds, actors in exquisite ancient costumes use dance as a guide, cleverly connecting Hanfu culture, ritual music and dance shows with exquisite dishes. Here, it is not only a taste enjoyment, but also a full-scale sensory feast. From the solemn ceremony of entering the banquet to the display of the dynasty's elegance in each scene.

Chinese delicacies, with a lasting flavor. Clear-stewed pork ball, soft, glutinous and fresh, with a warm and affectionate soup; Stone plate cured meat, salty, fragrant and mellow, with smoky aroma; Bamboo cage delicacies, a collection of ingredients, ste
That steaming soup, the rounded meatballs like jade beads lying on the emerald broth, delicate and refined.

Here, immerse yourself in the unique charm of Ba culture while savoring dishes that blend traditional flavors and enjoying a stunning performance.
Chongqing Li Yan Ba Guo • Immersive experience of the royal feast enjoyed by the court king thousands of years ago (exquisite food + dance performance + ancient costume experience)
On the stage, lights and shadows shift, and a brilliant performance begins.
As the dance "Ode to Ba: The Origin" was performed, the origin story of the Ba Kingdom slowly unfolded on the stage. The actors used graceful dance to tell the ancient and mysterious history of the Ba Kingdom.
The dancers' sleeves flutter as they leap nimbly or twirl gracefully, enacting the legendary stories of the nation.

The ornate dress is dazzling, and the yellow and blue skirt resembles flowing clouds, outlining a lively curve.
The scene was bustling with activity, packed with people. Foreign guests transformed into witnesses of history, engaging in dialogue with figures of the past and embarking on a grand, millennia-spanning feast.
In the background, the light and shadow change, as if reproducing the ancient battlefields and labor scenes of Pakistan.
Transform into a witness of history, converse with distinguished figures of the past, and embark on a grand feast spanning a thousand years.
Servers dressed in traditional attire, with elegant figures and light steps, seem to have walked out of historical paintings.
Each performance is followed by graceful palace maids in ancient costumes, serving exquisite meals with thoughtful etiquette, not only a visual feast, but also a treat for the taste buds!
The waiters, dressed in traditional costumes, are elegant, welcoming with smiles, and courteous.
Foreign guests experience the exquisite makeup of Hanfu and enjoy the happiness of ancient courtiers. The taste journey through thousands of years starts here.
Guests donned splendid Hanfu attire, their magnificent garments radiating color, as if they had stepped out of a painting of the Ba State.

it was a fun experience. there were varieties of food, including hotpot with meat, mushroom and fresh vegetables. nice dance and singing performances. the stage, lighting and the surrounding screen adds to the overall vibes. kudos to the staff who have to serve and clear heavy platings for each guest and ensure it’s done before the lights out for each performance. performers did a good job as well, engaging with the audience. only thing I hope the words at the screen were clearer so those at the back can actually read the words clearer. overall, highly recommended!

Had lunch here with my friends and her kid. We didn’t add on the costumes and makeup but overall the price we paid per adult is very worth it, around $60 per pax. I enjoyed the show a lot, it was very professional and feels grand. However, the meal is basically a chicken collagen broth (similar to HDL) and they will provide you with all the hotpot ingredients + a small tomato baked rice. I enjoyed the 8% alcohol plum drink alot though, didn’t taste like alcohol and my face wasn’t red like usual.

Li Yan Ba Guo is an absolute must for anyone visiting — a true feast for the senses. The flavors are bold and rich, the ingredients fresh and perfectly balanced, and the presentation is as stunning as the taste. Every bite tells the story of Chongqing’s culinary heritage, making it an unforgettable experience. Dressing up in traditional attire with a perfect hairdo took the experience to the next level, and capturing the moments with photos was an absolute must — no regrets at all! 礼宴巴国绝对是来重庆必尝的美食盛宴——真正的感官享受!味道浓郁大胆,食材新鲜且完美搭配,摆盘同样令人惊艳。每一口都在讲述重庆的美食故事,让人难以忘怀。穿上传统服饰、配上精致发型,更是将体验提升到极致,拍照留念更是必不可少——完全不后悔!

A fun experience. Location is a bit out of the way with nothing much but a park surrounding the actual venue, but you are greeted like a "VIP". I did not choose to dress up and didn't feel out of place as about only 40% dressed up in Hanfu. 2nd row is enough, no need for the extra premium to be in 1st row. You get the same treatment and food. The food is also better than I expected for such dinner-and-dance shows; you won't be hungry by 8.50pm when the entire event ends even if you don't eat certain things. All-in-all, I recommend, if you have 3 days or so in Chongqing.

love the food & perfomances! but I think the atmosphere would have been better if there’s more people. but for those who don’t like crowd, I think it’s good to go kn weekday night. I feel not necessary to pay for the costume as well.

Great fun! We definitely love cosplaying with Chinese dynasty costumes. Truly have great fun and of course we took a lot of pictures. There cost 399 yuan for our extra photos. The show is alright but the food and presentation is magnificent. Really appreciate that they cater vegetarian for us.
