Located in central Beijing, near iconic landmarks such as the Forbidden City and Qianmen Street, the venue enjoys a prestigious and easily accessible location surrounded by rich historical and cultural heritage.

Designed as a circular palace-style banquet hall, the restaurant features a central performance stage encircled by 240 dining seats within a spacious 2,000-square-meter venue.

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by attendants dressed in traditional court attire, accompanied by ceremonial greetings, tea service, and hand-cleansing rituals, establishing a strong sense of ritual and occasion from the very beginning.

As the banquet unfolds, each course is paired with a themed performance inspired by Chinese imperial history.
