The Romance of the Song Dynasty is the signature large-scale musical of Songcheng Theme Park — the largest theme park in Hangzhou. With an investment of 50 million RMB, this spectacular show combines singing, dancing, acrobatics, and state-of-the-art special effects to bring the history and legends of the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD) to life. Locals say: if you miss this show, you haven't truly been to Hangzhou.
About the Show
Set in the immersive Song Dynasty Town (Songcheng), this performance goes far beyond a typical stage show. The production uses the entire venue — including water stages, aerial rigging, pyrotechnics, and massive mechanical sets — to transport audiences back a thousand years to Hangzhou's golden age as the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The show weaves together Hangzhou's most beloved historical tales and folk legends: the tragic love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai (the "Butterfly Lovers"), the legend of the White Snake at West Lake, the prosperity of the Southern Song capital, and the rich tea culture that made Hangzhou famous throughout China.
The performance is not only a visual spectacle but also a profound cultural experience — a symbol of Hangzhou representing the city's thousand-year history and its enduring spirit. Over 30 million visitors have experienced this show since its premiere.
