performance details
The performance unfolds in five acts: "First Meeting," "Falling in Love," "Parting," "Reminiscence," and "Impression." Drawing inspiration from classic tales like Xu Xian and the White Snake, as well as Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, it brings to life Hangzhou's ancient folklore and myths. The show recreates iconic elements of West Lake's cultural history, blending light and music to transform the sky into a curtain, the lake into a stage, and the landscape into a breathtaking backdrop.
