Step into the past with an immersive experience on The Bund. Begin by arriving an hour early for a complimentary Republican Era makeup and costume service. Choose from three floors of traditional costumes, including improved cheongsams, velvet dresses, long gowns, and top hats, complete with accessories like pearl necklaces and retro top hats. Let makeup artists design an exclusive look based on your face shape, and add a vintage wave hairstyle for extra charm, instantly transforming you into a lady or gentleman of the Republican Era.

Enjoy a dual feast for taste and sight with a set menu featuring improved local Shanghai fusion cuisine. Before each dish is served, a projection tells the storey behind it, full of ritual sense. Highly recommended dishes include Pu'er Braised Pork with Abalone, Cognac Foie Gras, and Black Pepper 5A Snow Beef Cubes. Finish with a post-meal jasmine milk jam, sweet and refreshing, leaving a lingering fragrance on the tongue.

Immerse yourself in a highly interactive drama as the banquet hall recreates the scene of the 1930s Paramount. Crystal chandeliers, vintage gramophones, and neon signs create a strong atmosphere. Actors in Republican Era costumes walk among the tables, performing “Evening Shanghai” on stage. They sometimes stage a wealthy family confrontation, and each guest may receive an exclusive mission card. Improvised interactions are more exciting than watching a drama. The serving rhythm is perfectly connected with the performance, making each dish part of the plot.

Capture perfect photos at the century-old spiral staircase, with warm yellow lights adding a retro filter. Head to the 6th-floor terrace for the best shooting time 30 minutes before and after sunset, capturing the Huangpu River night view, the Bund buildings, and the Lujiazui skyscrapers simultaneously. The dark green wallpaper and brass wall lamps in the private room corridor make every photo look like a film poster.
