Immersive imperial banquets in China dazzle foreign tourists_我的网站

一 |     光影定格温暖，镜头见证公益。    (ECNS) -- Cities across China are rolling out immersive imperial banquet experiences that combine courtly pageantry, theatrical performance, and multi-course feasts, drawing growing numbers of foreign visitors.    Guests are dressed as ancient Chinese nobles in traditional costume and makeup, then seated in ornate palace settings. The evening opens with an address by an "emperor" and a procession by an "empress," followed by attendants pouring wine and serving dishes, with song, dance, and martial arts displays between courses.    Basic tickets start at about 200 yuan ($30), with another 100 yuan for costume and makeup and a further 100 yuan for front-row seats. The full package costs about 500 yuan, or roughly $70. "For this entire package of service and spectacle back home, you'd be lucky to tip that much," one traveler said.    Each city adds a local twist. In Luoyang, central China's Henan Province, the banquet is built around Wu Zetian, China's only female emperor, and features Tang Dynasty dress: performers wear red or green ruqun, a traditional blouse-and-skirt ensemble, with floral forehead ornaments, while aerial dance on wires adds to the spectacle. In Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province, the banquet spans the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties, and dressing rooms styled as a "Costume Bureau" offer looks ranging from the Twelve Flower Goddesses and the Four Great Beauties to literary figures such as Li Bai, Du Fu, and Su Dongpo, with guests free to choose any persona they fancy. Beijing has a royal cuisine museum whose exhibition halls trace the history of imperial food culture, and its menu features dishes once served to the Qing Dynasty emperors Kangxi and Qianlong.    The food is as much of the draw as the pageantry. A single feast runs to more than a dozen courses, among them braised pork belly, roasted lamb chops, stewed beef, and braised yellow croaker, along with rich soups such as salted pork and bamboo shoot stew or Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Each serving looks modest, but the steady stream of hearty dishes leaves many foreign guests pleasantly stuffed.    One foreign tourist said, "The Chinese are the most ceremonial people in the world. I knew they pick lucky dates for weddings and must eat dumplings for Spring Festival, but here at the imperial banquet, they even carved the words 'Happy Birthday' in Chinese characters out of carrots on the complimentary noodles!"    A young European woman said she loved traditional Chinese costume but worried she would look out of place in it. A Chinese netizen reassured her: "During the Tang Dynasty, China was already very international, with foreign faces everywhere on the streets. Anyone would look beautiful in our attire."    (By Zhang Dongfang)                    。8月19日，由山西省体育彩票管理中心主办，人民摄影报社承办的“体彩同行，镜见公益”2026年山西体彩公益主题摄影征集活动正式拉开帷幕。活动即日起面向全社会广泛征稿，邀请每一位摄影爱好者与生活记录者，以镜头捕捉三晋大地上的体彩微光，记录烟火人间的公益力量。多年来，山西体彩始终坚守“来之于民、用之于民”的初心使命，所筹集的体彩公益金持续投入全民健身、教育助学、乡村振兴、社会福利等民生领域，悄然浸润三晋大地的每一寸土地。遍布城乡的健身设施、丰富多彩的群众体育活动、暖心真挚的公益善举、秀美壮阔的三晋风光，皆是山西体彩公益价值的生动体现，值得被记录与传播。为深度挖掘藏在群众身边的公益故事，定格平凡岁月中的温暖瞬间，传递公益体彩的责任与温度，本次征集活动零门槛面向全社会开放，无论专业摄影从业者还是业余摄影爱好者，均可踊跃参与。
