The grand open-air show brings its audience into the imaginary wonders of West Lake's natural and cultural beauty.
Staged entirely upon the lake itself (a stage has been built 3 centimeters below the surface), Impression West Lake is a spectacle of light, music, dance and theatrics. The stories are based on Hangzhou legends. Using the lake and its surroundings as the backdrop, hundreds of actors and lights create a sensational performance.
It is a unique outdoor performance in natural settings. Staged on the West Lake, the performance appears vivid and incredibly beautiful. Mixed with the myths and legends of the West Lake, the show leads you to a sweet thousand-year dream. The special concealable auditorium ensures each seat a wonderful place to enjoy the dazzling show. The state-of-the-art sound system is surely to offer a surprising musical enjoyment. Be sure to catch it, the show is in your bucket list when you come to Hangzhou. Come and enjoy the most amazing and beautiful spectacle you will see in your life.
The director of this show is Mr Zhang Yimou, who was in charge of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympics and 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. In 2016, the dream-like and fantastic Impression West Lake Show, as the golden name card of the city of Hangzhou, gave the world a feast for eyes during the G20 summit.

Five Acts Tell a Beautiful but Sad Story
Part 1. Encounter
A white crane flies in from the distance, and changes into a handsome guy. At the same time, another white crane flies in and changes into a beautiful girl. They meet each other and dance together. Their love token is an umbrella (usually a taboo token in China as 'umbrella' is pronounced like 'leaving' in Chinese).
Part 2. Falling in Love
They fall in love with each other. From spring to winter, the flowers bloom and fade. They walk on the bridge hand in hand, and see the fishes have fun in the lake. From day to night, they make their covenant of love.
Part 3. Farewell
A happy time is always so fleeting... The music becomes rapid suddenly. The beautiful girl is struggling in the grip of fate, longing not to leave. With the drum beating and splashing water, the story enters the leaving scene. The girl is gone. Maybe she has turned back into a white crane and can only live in the young man's mind.
Part 4. Memory
Memory is a river, crystal clear at the source, at its end it's diluted and dispersed. In his mind, his memory begins as a crystal spring. She is gone, but the memory is still so beautiful. It's raining, and he hears her voice asking him to bring an umbrella.
Part 5. Impression
With the mood of regret and sadness, the young man comes down to earth. The love story he has abides as just an impression, seemingly no more than a dream. It will be kept in his heart forever. No matter how time flies, he will always remember the time of love.
