Getting there and choosing your sitting
Where the hall actually is, and how the lunch and dinner sittings differ.

Beijing West Road, Jing'an District
The hall is on Beijing West Road in Jing'an District, central Shanghai — about 560 metres on foot from exit 6 of Jing'an Temple station on metro line 7.
Lunch or dinner
The same banquet and performance run twice daily: a lunch sitting with check-in at 11:30am ahead of a midday start, and a dinner sitting with check-in at 6:30pm ahead of a 7pm start.
Booking ahead
The booking page asks for at least 24 hours' notice, so this isn't a same-day, walk-up booking — build it into your Shanghai schedule a day or more out.
Arriving in Jing'an early
Jing'an Temple itself sits a short walk from the hall, if your group wants to arrive with time to spare before check-in rather than cutting it close.
What the ticket covers
The booking covers the hall, the meal and the performance. Transport to and from the venue is left to guests to arrange for themselves.
Choosing between the two sittings
A midday sitting suits a group building the rest of the day in Shanghai around it; an evening sitting turns the banquet into the night's main event instead.
