The West Lake Itself Becomes a Grand Stage
This is an outdoor water performance staged on the Yuehu Lake of Hangzhou's West Lake, rather than an indoor theater. Against the backdrop of the actual lake and surrounding mountains, it brilliantly showcases the story of Hangzhou and West Lake by combining lighting, music, and dance.
Performers dance on a stage installed just below the water's surface, creating scenes that appear as if they are walking and dancing on the lake. The night view of West Lake becomes part of the performance, offering a completely different atmosphere from the West Lake experienced during the day.
Experience Everything from Chinese Traditions to Swan Lake

The show features representative Chinese music and stories such as 'Spring River Flower Moon Night', 'Cai Cha Wu Qu', 'Butterfly Lovers', and 'High Mountains Flowing Water', presented through various performances. The music and dance express Hangzhou's culture and traditional Chinese sentiment, making it enjoyable even without understanding the language.
Additionally, familiar Western music like Tchaikovsky's 'Swan Lake' and Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' is included. Enjoy this grand outdoor performance where Eastern and Western music, water stages, and lighting harmonize.
Relive the Emotion of the G20 Hangzhou Summit

First introduced in 2007, Impressions West Lake evolved into the new performance 'Most West Lake' with the G20 Hangzhou Summit in 2016. Its most distinctive feature is the use of large-scale lighting and water stage technology against the backdrop of the natural West Lake.
The current performance lasts approximately 55 minutes and typically starts at 19:40. An additional show may be available at 21:10 depending on operating days, so please check the exact showtime for your reserved date.
