Immersive imperial banquets in China dazzle foreign tourists_我的网站

一 |     (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)                    。    Tariffs on steel imports from China and other countries are to be extended for another two years, British Trade Minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan said, noting that the government was acting in the "public interest" to protect "thousands" of jobs in the country.,"The government wishes to make it clear to parliament that the decision to extend the safeguards [tariffs] on the five product categories departs from our international legal obligations under the relevant WTO agreement... However, from time to time, issues may arise where the national interest requires action to be taken, which may be in tension with normal rules and procedures," she said.,The industry trade body UK Steel backed the tariffs, as well as the opposition: Nick Thomas-Symonds, the shadow international trade secretary, said the decision would be a "welcome relief," protecting the manufacturers from the cheap imports.,The decision was announced after earlier this month, reports emerged suggesting that Prime Minister Boris Johnson plans to introduce new "safeguard" import limits in order to protect British manufacturers from a "flood of cheap steel". According to the press, it is a part of PM's attempt to boost popularity of the conservatives in industrialized "red wall" areas of Britain; the Tories previously suffered a major blow during local elections in May, losing multiple seats to the Labour party.,He also said the tariffs would be in line with UK law but might be challenged within the WTO as violating the nation's obligations.。
