Ceremonial hospitality expressed through costume and performance at Liyan Baguo

THE EXPERIENCE

Discover Ba-Yu Culture Through Food, Music and Ceremony

Ba-Yu culture, also written as Bayu culture, is part of Chongqing's regional identity. At Liyan Baguo in Baguocheng, it inspires a contemporary cultural dining experience called the Banquet of Ba Kingdom. Visitors can explore that inspiration through food, performance and hospitality, then plan a lunch or dinner visit with the official team.

Regional inspiration, contemporary performance

A cultural show offers an introduction through sights, sounds and participation. The Banquet of Ba Kingdom brings regional inspiration into a staged visitor experience rather than presenting an archaeological exhibit.

That distinction matters when planning a cultural trip. A theatrical banquet can sit alongside museums and historic places in an itinerary, but its performance choices should not be treated as proof of how every historical ceremony actually took place.

Food and hospitality as part of the story

Regional flavours are one way visitors encounter Chongqing culture. At Liyan Baguo, the menu and serving rhythm are connected to the performance, making the meal part of how guests experience the setting.

Welcome rituals and interaction add a participatory element. You can watch, dine and follow the hosts' guidance without needing to memorise historical terms. Share food requirements before booking so the kitchen can confirm a suitable arrangement.

Experience the cultural setting for yourself

Music, dance and traditional costume provide visual ways to engage with the theme. International visitors can ask about language support, while families can discuss children's ages and any practical needs in advance.

To add the experience to your Chongqing visit, start with the session times and confirmed location. Lunch and dinner are both offered; the show lasts approximately 110 minutes, with additional time needed for the garden and any costume service.
