Kangxi Grand Ceremony Live Show
鼎盛王朝·康熙大典
A large-scale imperial live show set against Yuanbao Mountain, recreating the Kangxi Emperor's pacification of the Three Feudatories, the autumn hunts at Mulan and the founding of the Mountain Resort.
'Dynasty of Prosperity: Kangxi Grand Ceremony' is Chengde's best-known evening performance. It takes place at the Dingsheng Culture Industrial Park at the foot of Yuanbao Mountain in Shuangluan District. With the real mountain as its backdrop, hundreds of performers work with horses, lighting and special effects to portray historical scenes, including the Kangxi Emperor's pacification of the Three Feudatories, the autumn hunts at Mulan and the building of the Mountain Resort. The show runs about 70 minutes. The season generally runs from May to October each year. From September 25, 2026, the first show has been moved to 18:20, and a second show may be added during peak periods. Standard tickets cost about 198–288 yuan, and VIP seating costs more. It's best to book your seats in advance through official channels. The venue is about 15 km from the Mountain Resort, and taxis are hard to find after the show, so arrange a ride in advance or drive yourself. The outdoor seating gets chilly at night, so bring a jacket.
