A Fragrant Celebration of Summer: Four Seasons Hotel Beijing Presents a Dragon Boat Festival Rice Dumpling Gift Collection

 
May 8, 2026,
Beijing, China

As the fragrance of bamboo leaves drifts through the air, the Dragon Boat Festival approaches once more. Across centuries, this cherished occasion has carried wishes for protection and wellbeing; today, it continues through flavours that evoke memory, tradition and a sense of home. To mark the season, Four Seasons Hotel Beijing presents the Calamus & Mugwort Rice Dumpling Gift Set, a considered tribute to festive heritage.

Inspired by Eastern aesthetics, each element of the gift set reflects thoughtful craftsmanship. Shaped in a softly contoured cylindrical form, the box conveys understated elegance, while its double‑layer structure balances presentation and function. At the centre, a handcrafted bamboo weave in natural wood tones lends a sense of calm, recalling the textures of the natural landscape.

Gradients of verdant green flow across the surface, depicting serene scenery and dragon boat motifs. Together, these design elements bring together the natural character of the season with the cultural symbolism of the festival, creating a presentation that is both refined and enduring.

Within, a curated selection of handcrafted rice dumplings showcases time‑honoured flavours: Traditional Savoury Pork (150g × 2), Honey Date (150g × 2) and Red Bean Paste (150g × 2). Each dumpling is wrapped in fragrant bamboo leaves, enclosing glutinous rice with a tender yet gently resilient texture. From savoury depth to subtle sweetness, the collection highlights the quality of its ingredients and the natural flavours associated with the season.

The Calamus & Mugwort Rice Dumpling Gift Set is priced at CNY 298 per box, with a limited‑time early‑bird price of CNY 228 available through May 31, 2026. Quantities are limited.

The gift set is available for viewing at the rice dumpling display located in the hotel lobby (Level 1). For further information, contact Retail Gourmet at +86 (10) 5695 8537.
