Ancient music and dance performances as well as intangible cultural heritage activities, including script carving, inscription rubbings, and The Analects of Confucius calligraphy, will also be on display in the hotel lobby throughout the festival for visitors to interact with.
Kong Family Cuisine:
Shang Palace will be presenting a taste of Qufu’s Kong Family cuisine, which is based on the Shandong regional ‘Lu’ cuisine with an imperial influence and a touch of Huaiyang cuisine from southern China.
