What to expect

A Feast of Han Culture Cuisine Through Time and Space

  • Shanghai Palace Banquet adheres to the ancient concept of "The beginning of etiquette begins with diet," meticulously blending banquet, food, etiquette, and music to allow every guest who steps into it to deeply feel the charm of traditional culture flowing from the long river of history between every meal and drink, as if traveling through time to witness the solemn and elegant dining etiquette in the ancient court. The power of this heritage is truly admirable.
  • Shanghai Palace Banquet has invested heavily in creating a panoramic immersive light and shadow dining show. A total of 160 projectors operate simultaneously. When each dish is brought to the table, the corresponding wonderful program is performed accordingly. The light and shadow jump in the plate, as if giving the dishes fresh life, they will tell the moving historical stories and profound humanistic feelings behind the dishes in an extremely vivid way, which makes people can't help but immerse themselves in it, and applaud this wonderful creativity and wonderful presentation.
  • Following the traditional wisdom of "eating according to the seasons," the ingredients used here are carefully purchased every morning, and some are even air-transported directly on the same day, just to ensure that every ingredient is extremely fresh, with the most authentic taste of nature. The chefs carefully develop and design dishes according to the four seasons, cleverly integrating the unique flavors of each season into the dishes, so that guests can taste the most seasonal and delicious delicacies at different times.
  • It perfectly integrates Han culture, cuisine and art in a unique way, bringing every guest an all-round and immersive extraordinary experience, making people unforgettable when they come, and still miss them after leaving. It is a well-deserved cultural food treasure in Shanghai.

Review for: Lunch

It was a great experience. The vegetarian meal I ordered was delicious, and the performance, which blended ancient and modern elements, was quite lively. There will be some obstructed views from all rows except the first. This time, I got a seat in the third row, which was a good experience. The fourth row felt a bit too far away.

I feel that this is a "must-try at least once" kind of experience when you come to China. Enjoy song and dance performances while eating. If you are feeling like it, you can even book their costume + makeup services (we didn't since if you book these services, it is recommended that you reach earlyyyyyy so that you dont have to queue up and wait for your turn for makeup, and you have more time to take photos). Booking through Klook saves the hassle of you needing to camp at Gongyan's wechat mini app to book seats since the seats are usually gone within the first few minutes, and with Klook vouchers, the prices are comparable to booking with Gongyan directly.

Review for: Lunch

Experience: Overall, very satisfied. I think the dining time for each dish needs to be slightly longer. The dishes are cleared away not long after being served for the next performance, so you have to eat very quickly and hurriedly. The Dongpo pork was a bit too sweet for my taste.
