The Show of the Night of West Lake

Five chapters of Hangzhou history and culture

The Show of the Night of West Lake

The Show of the Night of West Lake is a newer addition to Hangzhou's vibrant evening entertainment scene. Consisting of five captivating chapters, this indoor performance brings together Hangzhou's history, mythology, and spiritual heritage in an intimate theater setting conveniently located near West Lake and the Hubin International Boutique Compound.

The Five Chapters

1. King Yue's Power
The heroic tale of Yue Fei, the legendary Southern Song general whose loyalty and patriotism are etched into Hangzhou's soul. His tomb at West Lake remains a pilgrimage site to this day.
2. Prosperity of Qiantang
Hangzhou's golden age as Lin'an, capital of the Southern Song — the largest and wealthiest city in the medieval world. Silk, tea, porcelain, and poetry flourished as nowhere else on earth.
3. Butterfly Lovers
China's Romeo and Juliet — the timeless love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, set against the backdrop of Hangzhou's scholarly tradition and beautiful landscapes.
4. Elegance of Qiantang
A celebration of Hangzhou's refined culture — calligraphy, guqin music, tea ceremony, and the aesthetic sophistication that made this city the envy of Marco Polo.
5. Oriental Buddhism
Hangzhou's deep Buddhist heritage — from Lingyin Temple to the serene paths of Feilai Peak — presented through meditative choreography and transcendent music. A fitting finale that leaves audiences in quiet reflection.
