Step into Xiangyang Courtyard in Hubei province, and you're transported from a simple meal into the heart of a classic wuxia tale. This newly opened restaurant has become a sensation on Chinese social media by fully immersing its customers in the world of Jin Yong's legendary martial arts novels.
The establishment goes beyond typical themed dining. Staff members don't just wear costumes—they fully embody iconic characters from The Legend of the Condor Heroes while they serve.
A waitress playing the witty heroine Huang Rong gracefully presents dishes with a smile. Another employee, in the role of the villainess Mei Chaofeng, demonstrates her famed "Nine Yin Skeleton Claw" technique—not for combat, but for kneading dough. A third, portraying the blind master Ke Zhen'e, prepares food with his eyes closed, staying true to his character's description.
"The professional performing troupe we hired teaches our staff to authentically portray these wuxia characters," said Zhu Xiujun, the restaurant's general manager. "We aim to strengthen our restaurant's martial arts culture feature and enhance the overall customer experience."

The theme is particularly fitting for its location in Xiangyang, a city that features prominently in Jin Yong's novels as the site of a crucial battle.
Reactions on social media have been divided but enthusiastic. "It's a creative idea. I want to experience the wuxia atmosphere there," one supporter commented. Others expressed concerns about food hygiene, with one skeptic asking, "Why not spend more effort improving food quality?"
In China's fiercely competitive catering industry, such creative concepts represent a strategic move to stand out. For now, Xiangyang Courtyard has successfully carved its niche by offering patrons not just a meal, but a chance to dine alongside their favorite literary heroes.
