The confirmation ticket is very fast; you can arrive 30-40 minutes early to get settled. Staff will escort you to your seat and provide a device that creates scents during the performances. The play was good, but it used a lot of foreign music, such as the Black Swan ballet or Beethoven's music. I would have preferred to immerse myself more in Chinese music.
impressive to see a well coordinated swan lake dance amidst the chilling and cold weather and water. The singers have powerful voices and melodious . very impressive show with a well planned stage production at scale !
Loved the experience and performances of the artists. Respect the hustle of each individual performancer to hone their crafts. Would highly recommend others to watch this if they haven't.
Amazing!! Impression West Lake (印象西湖 Yìnxiàng Xī Hú /yin-sshyang sshee hoo/) is an evening spectacle of music, light, and dance, entirely staged on the beautiful West Lake in Hangzhou City, with natural mountains and real waters as its backdrop. It is one of the creations of famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou, and the music of the performance was composed by Kitaro, a world-class musician.
A fantastic show not to be missed at Hangzhou, even the kids enjoyed it. VIP tickets were worth it. Redemption of tickets were fuss free. Redeem via qr code for physical tickets at the tickets sales counter.
A wonderful light and water dance show, with the clear and tranquil beauty of the West Lake. The fusion of Eastern culture with Western elements is particularly exciting.
Grand and impressive performance. Performers are very professional braving the rain and coldness..
Beautiful Zhang Yimou show as usual, and looks similar to the one in Danang in some parts. Actually, no need VIP seats - no big difference as there is no central stage and it's far anyway.
It's really beautiful and the performance is wonderful! The seat is near Quyuan Fenghe and at the intersection directly opposite Yuewang Temple. After buying the ticket with Klook, go directly to the automatic monthly pass machine next to the entrance to scan the QR code and get the physical ticket!
Here is a 50-word review: A spectacular show! Amazed by the sheer number of dedicated performers on a cold winter night and the massive, elaborate structures built over the water to stage it. A magical, unforgettable experience. A 'supper' ending: grabbing warm McDonald's after the show. Don't need front row seats; standard ones will do.
