About this Event
About the Event
Step into a refined cultural gathering inspired by traditional Chinese aesthetics.
The CHINESE CULTURE GATHERING is a daytime immersive experience featuring art, craft, Hanfu, rituals, and live cultural interactions — designed as an open, welcoming space to explore, observe, and connect.
As an integral part of THE IMPERIAL BANQUET · Tales of the Four Seasons, the Chinese Culture Gathering sets the tone for the entire day. Guests are invited to wander freely through cultural installations, performances, and interactive moments, enjoying the experience at their own pace.
This is not a conventional market. It is a curated cultural space where craftsmanship, storytelling, and human connection come together naturally.
✦ Experience Highlights
• Immersive Cultural Space — tea ceremony, incense rituals, calligraphy, traditional crafts, folk games, and NPC-guided interactions
• Hanfu Experience — outfit viewing, styling inspiration, and photo-ready looks
• Live Performances — traditional music, movement, and cultural demonstrations
• Photo Moments — themed sets, seasonal installations, and atmospheric backdrops
✦ Connection to the Imperial Banquet
In the evening, the experience continues with THE IMPERIAL BANQUET · Tales of the Four Seasons — a ticketed nighttime immersive royal banquet featuring live performance, ritual, and a four-chapter theatrical dining experience.
👉 Imperial Banquet tickets are sold separately.
Guests interested in the full-day experience are encouraged to explore both events.
