Step deep into Chinese culture and cuisine

Great for first timers to get a quick overview into Chinese culture and cuisine - 御仙都 For the adventurous, you can get dressed up in the costumes from Qing dynasty - as Emperor and Empress. Step into the tourist centre to understand the development of culinary styles through the dynasties. Great food and be entertained by the show/dances. Food portions are generous. Especially love the soup and dough stick that comes with it.
Excellent experience!

Excellent food and entertainment! We loved it. Appreciated the English subtitles on the walls for the entertainment- we were easily able to enjoy the show. Used subway to get there - end of the 12 line - very easy
We had a wonderful evening.

A perfect place to see a traditional Chinese show and eat traditional Chinese food. It was very unusual and interesting. Special thanks to the organizers for fulfilling our request. We asked to replace pork dishes and only for us they served a separate lamb dish, instead of pork.
