The Trip.com Group invites you to
Taste of China — a groundbreaking multi-sensory dining experience where gourmet cuisine, cutting-edge digital art, and live performance converge. Designed for travellers looking to go beyond classic tourist itineraries, this immersive dinner show offers a fresh and flavour-filled passage into China’s profound cultural heritage.
A Feast for the Senses — and the Palate
Over 90 minutes, an animated panda chef named Cheng BaoBao guides guests through China’s seven major regions — each represented by one signature dish.
Diners can enjoy crispy, succulent Peking Duck served with refreshing jasmine tea in the north. In the southern region, they can savour tangy Sour Soup Fish balanced by mellow Pu'er tea. A nourishing herbal hot pot with premium ingredients like marbled beef, abalone, and rare fungi awaits them in the chapter of central China, while spice lovers will enjoy the western region's chapter, where Mapo Tofu is elevated with wagyu beef cubes and lobsters.

We recommend arriving two hours early to fully lean into the experience: professional stylists are on hand to help guests choose from a beautiful selection of traditional Chinese costumes.
Taste of China is part of the Group's greater focus on culinary tourism. Each course in the experience doubles as a destination guide: menus feature QR codes linking to curated destination tips for featured regions, making it easier for diners to turn inspiration into travel plans. This focus is further reflected in Trip.Gourmet, the Group's one-stop food guide on Trip.com that offers global restaurant rankings and lists, travel-centric food content, and reservation options.
