Impression West Lake Show
最忆是杭州
An on-water live show on West Lake created by Zhang Yimou's team, sharing its name with a production from the G20 Summit arts gala.
The show Most Memorable Is Hangzhou, formerly known as Impression West Lake, is staged at the Yuehu scenic area on Beishan Road beside West Lake. The stage sits beneath the water, and performers appear on the lake. Combining lighting, music and the night scenery of West Lake, it presents classics such as “Spring River, Flower, Moon, Night” and “Tea-Picking Dance Tune.” The show runs about 60 minutes. Tickets cost about 300 to 1,000 yuan. The performance season runs from roughly March to November. Rain does not stop the show, but strong winds or thunderstorms will cancel it. Booking online in advance is recommended.
