A Journey of Gastronomy and Elegance: Four Seasons Hotel Beijing Presents the Liangma River Dining Cruise

 
April 21, 2025,
Beijing, China

“Drunk, I knew not the sky from the water, as dreams filled the boat beneath the stars.” Inspired by the timeless elegance of ancient literati gatherings, Four Seasons Hotel Beijing invites guests to embark on a poetic voyage - where gourmet delights meet the gentle rhythm of the river beneath the starlit sky.

Drift Through a City of Light

Flowing like a silken ribbon through the heart of Beijing, the Liangma River seamlessly weaves together echoes of the past and the pulse of the present. On one end, it carries the charm of a bygone era; on the other, it mirrors the vitality of a modern metropolis. Here, along its luminous banks, tradition and innovation dance in harmony, creating a living portrait of the city’s evolving spirit.

Benefiting from its enviable riverside setting, Four Seasons Hotel Beijing introduces the Liangma River Cruise Stay Package, a curated experience featuring a luxurious evening voyage along the full length of the river’s International Style route. As twilight descends, guests board a meticulously designed mid-sized yacht at Yansha Pier, embarking on a 40-minute journey through reflections and radiance. The shimmering lights of riverside architecture flicker across the water, forming a symphony of shadow and shine. A gentle breeze brushes past, as the city’s nocturne plays out in hushed tones. Each moment on board becomes a memory - romantic, elegant, and unforgettable.

The experience includes one night in a Deluxe Room, a night cruise for two (40 minutes, one-way from Yansha Pier), breakfast for two at Opus, and full access to wellness amenities including the sunlit indoor pool and fitness centre. Reservations must be made at least 48 hours in advance. For enquiries or bookings, call +86 (10) 5695 8888.

A Feast Upon the Waves

Elevating the art of dining to new heights, the hotel’s acclaimed culinary team presents a refined Chinese set menu inspired by spring’s bounty and the spirit of conviviality. Whether enjoying an intimate dinner for two or hosting a private banquet, guests are invited to savour a symphony of seasonal flavours amidst the tranquil beauty of the river. For a more exclusive affair, reserve the entire mid-sized yacht for a bespoke dining experience. Each course is lovingly crafted by the chefs of Opus Lounge, drawing from regional culinary traditions and presented with impeccable artistry. From the first bite to the final toast, the experience is designed to awaken the senses and celebrate togetherness.

Surrounded by dazzling riverside views, each dish becomes a multisensory journey: the fragrance, presentation, and textures harmonize with the glow of lanterns and the gentle flow of the river. The set menu begins with refreshing spring delicacies – such as hydrangea fungus with broad beans, and Malantou herb with fragrant tofu delicately wrapped in translucent skin – progressing to signature mains like pan-braised sea bass and celery-infused oxtail soup, made with premium beef from northern grasslands.
