Xiamen Huangdu Liyan • Immersive Imperial Banquet

2026/10/27

Overall, the show was amazing, and the food was also quite good; it was a satisfying dining experience. However, it was a pity that some guests were actually smoking in the lobby, and the smell of smoke affected the overall environment and the experience of other guests. I suggest the management strengthen oversight and proactively advise guests to smoke in designated outdoor areas to maintain indoor air quality. Additionally, there is a KTV right next door, so the overall environment was a bit complicated. I hope the management can pay more attention to the management of public spaces so that guests can enjoy a comfortable environment while watching the show and enjoying their meal.
