Overview
Imagine sitting down to dinner in Shanghai, and the lights go down. A 360-degree stage begins to spin around your table. Actors in flowing silk robes step out from every direction — court ladies, generals, merchants — each performing scenes from Shanghai's own story, from its ancient harbor roots through the golden glamour of the 1920s Bund. Your shanghai immersive dinner show seat comes with a multi-course Jiangzhe-style banquet — sweet, savory, not spicy — timed to match each act on stage. Arrive early to change into traditional robes and sit through the performance dressed as a character from the era. The full show runs about 110 minutes of history, food, and spectacle in one sitting.
We handle the full reservation. You pick your date, choose a seat, and we confirm your spot. The venue sits in Xuhui District, near Longqi Road metro station. Explore more things to do in Shanghai.

Itinerary
Arrive, Dress Up, and Dine Inside Shanghai's History
Make your own way to the venue in Xuhui District — within walking distance of Longqi Road metro station (Line 11). Lunch sessions begin at 11:30 AM, dinner sessions at 6:30 PM. If you have added the costume and makeup experience, arrive 1 to 1.5 hours before showtime to allow enough time for dressing and styling.
When the lights dim, the 360-degree stage begins to rotate. The performance tells the story of Shanghai through the ages — from an ancient coastal settlement to the bustling trade hub of the Silk Road era, through the glamorous Art Deco years of the 1920s Bund, and into the vibrant modern city you see outside the window today. Actors in flowing period costumes appear from every direction, performing court dances, dramatic battles, and comedic scenes that bring each chapter of Shanghai's past to life.
Each course of your Jiangzhe-style banquet arrives timed to match the narrative on stage. The full show runs about 110 minutes. Feel free to take photos and videos throughout. If your preferred time or seat is unavailable, we will suggest alternative sessions or seating options.
