Beijing

Thanks to you, I took so many fun and pretty pictures! I'm a Korean in my 20s who stayed 3 nights each in Beijing and Tianjin. I don't know any Chinese characters or Chinese at all, and like everyone else, I only know how to say "Ni hao" and "Xie xie." My English is only enough for basic communication, and I can't use sentences properly. But after making a reservation, I sent a friend request to the WeChat number listed, and the owner? answered in English. When I asked questions in English about changing the time, the location of the building, and period clothing, they answered in both English and Chinese. Chinese was automatically translated within the WeChat chat, so there were no problems communicating at all. The wangfu century building has two entrances, one at the entrance (straight path) and one around a curve, and when I went into the first entrance I saw, it went down...?? With all sorts of solicitations 😂 I hurriedly asked on WeChat, and they quickly told me it was the wrong place, so I left the building and entered through the entrance around the curve. When I went inside and explained that I had a reservation, the staff got up. That staff member seemed to only know how to say "Okay" and Chinese, so I used Papago for all communication~! But they were still very kind even with translated communication! And they're a huge makeup expert. It was a female staff member with slightly ash brown? hair, and she was really careful, but her touch was skillful and I really liked it. (I said I put on sunscreen with a translator and she said okay) (+I asked for it to be very fancy and she said okay) They really did a great job without making me feel uncomfortable at all... a hidden master of makeup,, And she showed me things like ribbons and asked if I wanted them, and when I translated that I wanted the original (when I changed it back to Chinese, it became "I want vintage") she said okay okay, and once she put on the wig ornament, it wasn't my face anymore. A new face was created (for real), and she created an unbelievable new face that looked pretty even in unedited iPhone photos. I was 100% extremely satisfied. My Summer Palace & Beijing traditional costume photos came out perfectly thanks to this staff member. (My older sister took the photos with her iPhone without the photo shoot option, and the photo concept was a spoiled princess at the end of the Qing Dynasty)

A great experience wearing Hanfu with my partner. The photos turned out amazing. The photographer didn't speak English, but everything went smoothly. Thank you, Nancy.

Not crowded, so no long waits. The outfits are amazing, the service is excellent, the makeup is beautiful, the photographer is great at posing, and the shop is very helpful to foreigners, recommending beautiful outfits and accessories. Very impressed, highly recommend. They even offered suggestions if the photo shoot location was far away.

Highly recommended. Shots are beautiful and editing also. We are 10 mins late during the photoshoot but the photographer is kind enough to wait for us. He also messages us days before the photoshoot. Thanks klook! We love our photos 🙂All professional taken ❤️ Exceeded our expectations ❤️ 2 adult robes are provided as well as the props like eyeglasses, books and wands. Wonderful experience ❤️💛

This was a unique and memorable experience, not just a meal but a full cultural immersion. The atmosphere truly feels royal, making you feel like you’ve stepped back into imperial China. The setting is elegant and beautifully designed, perfect for photos. The food was well-presented and flavorful, with each dish carefully prepared to reflect traditional royal cuisine. What made the experience even more special were the live performances — graceful, entertaining, and well-timed throughout the meal. They added a lot of charm and really enhanced the overall experience. Overall, it’s a wonderful place for anyone who wants to enjoy traditional culture, performances, and a refined dining experience. Highly recommended for visitors looking for something unique in Beijing. 👑✨

This time I participated in the lunch + show + costume makeup experience. The show was fantastic! It used dance to express inner emotions. The most memorable were the actress playing Grandma Liu and the actress playing Jia Baoyu's sister. As for the meal, the first few courses were quite good. The later dishes, the fish seemed to have been pickled in salt and were a bit too salty. The food wasn't that hot either. But the plating and tableware were very carefully done, which is commendable. I felt the makeup was a bit rough. There wasn't time to choose clothes either. Personally, I think if you participate in this activity, focus on watching the show and having lunch. Because the garden for the costume change and photo session is very small. The value for money isn't great. It would be better to participate in the costume change and photo session at the National Palace Museum. The National Palace Museum is bigger and has many more photo spots.

We booked a dinner of 5 on the last night in Beijing to end our family trip with joyful memories. The Gong-yan team was awesome and beyond our expectation. The Gong-yan team messaged me via WhatsApp 2 weeks before the event to our confirmation number and others services/request if needed. We didn’t reply since is in Chinese but on the actual day itself to my surprise, they asked if we have any specific food request. I asked if can have non spicy food for my kid and to my surprise they did change 2 meal to non spicy. Is really an unforgettable dining experience for us with the performances and delicious food.

Experience: Slicing the duck is not easy but it is new experience for as an accountant. It is interesting. The foods is delicious but the size is too big for 3 of us, sorry cant eat all of them.

Miao and her partner were very lovely hosts! we had a delicious spread of authentic home made Chinese dishes, with various meats and vegetables, fresh fruits and also home made rose dessert. Delicious drinks. We had so much fun learning and sharing about our cultures. It felt like we were home away from home. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who’d like to experience authentic home cooked feast with locals and those visiting Beijing. Food was clean and hygienic. We’ve made some friends from this experience, and hope to come back again!
