Nanjing Poetry Banquet ● Immersive Experience of a Millennium Imperial Feast [Imperial Banquet Setting + Ancient Music and Dance Performance + Royal Cuisine + Traditional Costume Experience] #

Immersive ancient-style feast begins! Nanjing Poetry Banquet: A sensory and spiritual feast awaits you.

Poetry Banquet is themed around poetry, songs, and dance. Each dish serves as a medium for works from the Book of Songs, Chu Ci, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan opera, and Ming-Qing novels. Adapted from poetic works and blended with modern dance, it showcases traditional Chinese culture, humanistic history, and art—offering distinctive features, an innovative theme, while preserving tradition.

Stepping into the venue, holographic projections unfold a scroll of the "Misty Waters of the Six Dynasties," instantly setting the stage for an immersive performance. A pipa player sits gracefully amid the interplay of light and shadow, fingertips weaving elegant melodies, while a poet in ancient attire seamlessly blends recitation with the music. The shifting lights and shadows synchronize with the rhythm, vividly bringing to life the grandeur of Jinling from a millennium ago. A series of situational performances follow, with actors recreating scenes of bustling market life and refined court gatherings from the Six Dynasties era. This multisensory immersion in the ancient capital's culture sets an exquisite tone for the dining experience.

Every dish and every drink is a perfect blend of poetry and cuisine, each with its unique flavor.
