The Silk road was established more than 2,000 years ago and served as an essential trade route for merchants from China to West Asia. True to its name, silk was a primary commodity traded along the route. However, the music, art, cuisines and religions along the Silk Road also became “exports” as the traveling merchants brought with them elements of daily lifestyle from their respective homelands. From this eclectic mix of cultures emerged an extraordinary blend of civilization unique to the Silk Road.

Lost Heaven Restaurant Group has always been committed to researching and promoting regional foods and cultures. Concurrent with the One Belt, One Road Initiative, Lost Heaven has aimed to extract the cultural and culinary essence of the ancient Silk Road to offer to customers in modern day Shanghai. In a space that spans 1,800 square meters, Lost Heaven hosts up to 400 guests nightly to present the cuisines and cultures of this diverse, ancient region. We invite you to journey back through time with us and immerse yourself in the arts and crafts of the Silk Road.
