Yangzhou Changle Salt Merchant Banquet

The Changle Salt Merchant Banquet in Yangzhou is an immersive, elegant feast hidden within an ancient mansion. We take the private banquets of Qing Dynasty salt merchants as our blueprint, incorporating Huaiyang intangible cultural heritage cooking techniques into every delicacy, from river fresh seafood to pastries, all following the seasonal methods of century-old recipes. During the banquet, ancient-style performances unfold one after another: interactive drama depicting the emperor’s arrival, classical group dances with flowing sleeves, a solo ribbon dance in the style of Dunhuang, and sketches performed by literati gatherings, transporting you back to the prosperous Yangzhou of the Qing Dynasty in an instant. The ancient mansion’s courtyard, warm red lanterns, and elegant furnishings complement each other, with every detail restoring the hospitality standards of a salt merchant family. This is not just a meal, but a cultural feast that integrates taste, sight, and sound.
