Synopsis of Impression West Lake

Act I: Encounter

From the remote horizon, a white crane sails near, and transforms into a young scholar. Gently and graciously, he saunters around West Lake. Meanwhile, another white crane comes, transforming into a beautiful woman. In the gorgeous lake view, in the fantastic drizzle, they fall in love with each other at first sight, with a silk umbrella as their pledge for love. It seems as if the engagement scene between Xu Xian and Lady White in the Tale of White Serpent appears again. In this section of the Impression west lake show, there are two symbolic objects, namely White Crane and Umbrella. White Crane represents auspiciousand longevity in china and umbrella is the simble symbol of Love in Hangzhou!

Act II: In Love

As if having independent mind, the fish at the West Lake chases and frolics with each other. Echoing to this brisk and pleasant scene, the characters on stage are displaying their happiness of love with their graceful and smooth dances. In this world, their soul and spirit combine together, with their love as pledge. In this section of the Impression west lake show, there is fish to depict the Love between them. There is a phrase in china that: The Happy between fish and water means the true love between the lovers.

Act III: Parting

Happy time flies. With the drumming rhythm, the show comes to a climax, where the love of this two heavely crane meets obstruction from great powers. Tragically, the female crane dies in the stuggle, bidding a heart-rending farewell to her love.

Act IV: Memories

The male crane returns to the place where they met. The beautiful scenes stay the same, yet his love leaves forever. Numerous charming ladies pass by, yet none of them is his love. The drizzle of that day, the boat where they stay, the promise of their love, can only become memories, for ever, and ever.

Act V: Impression

Dreamly, softly, the legendary love rests in the graceful West Lake. As if in dream, the crane couple meets with each other again, and leaves, until they disappear in the horizon. But the memories of their love leave a mysterious and marvellous impression on us. Maybe some day in the future, when we think of this show, we will be moved to tears again by this love story.

"We booked through the Hangzhouprivatetour.com, which had a package with tickets to see Zhang Yimou’s Impression West Lake. 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 story is based on a Hangzhou legend (somewhat lost on us foreigners, but that didn't detract from our enjoyment). Using the lake and its surroundings as props, lights and hundreds of actors create a sensational performance. Similar performances are staged in Yangshuo and Lijiang. Hangzhou’s Impression West Lake is certainly not to be missed. Hangzhou has plenty to offer in itself, but if you can add the performance into your itinerary, you’ll be forever grateful. "

"I think Impression West Lake is a great and outstanding show. thanks for Jason 's suggestion and I am so glad we saw it, and the near full moon at that night really add to the amazing atmosphere. The music, dancing, and, most importantly, the setting on West Lake make this an evening that you will always remember fondly. If you are in West Lake, then it is imperative that you see the show. West Lake and this show are DEFINITELY worth an overnight excursion.

"One of the most beautiful places we visited during our China trip. A big and crowded city on the one end of the lake, mountains and nature on the other side. We loved this combination of nature, shopping and city. In case you find a place to stay directly at the lake it is wonderful, warm and beautiful skyline of the city in the evenings. Hangzhou is worth a trip. The show is very entertaing and the setting is spectacular!! The stage effect is very impressive. Definitely a good choice for evening entertainment is Hangzhou! "

"Jiangnan, a word originally referring to a geographic area along south Yangtze River, has long been the byword of the gentleness and softness of the beautiful water towns in the area. Impression West Lake, an extravaganza in West Lake, Hangzhou, is a feast of Jiangnan beauty for the eyes. I just saw the Impression Westlake performance, and I too find it breathtaking. "

The West Lake Impression show was the absolute HIGHLIGHT of our hangzhou trip. We had an enjoyable and entertaining evening viewing the Impression light show. I knew the story and enjoyed the performance.I felt that the lighting was excellent and the venue unique.The performers lacked the precision to make this into an excellent production-perhaps they have become bored. We sat on the float closest to the "stage" and felt our location was perfect The show was amazing and beautifully done. If I had it to do over again, I would have stayed in Hangzhou more days and probably saw this show at least twice. And thanks for Hangzhou private tour to made our hangzhou tour SO good!!!

The Impression westlake show is simply amazing. It tells the story of a couple and their struggles. The dances were pretty impressive, as if they were walking on water. The music is fantastic and really its a show that you need to see once in a lifetime. Coloured and exceptionally well done. Its something special and the staff is extremely professional. Dancing and acting on the water lake . Really it was a big emotion and a fantastic show. A must-see for everyone who visits Hangzhou.
