He used to be the mayor of Hangzhou, and was respected and loved by the local people since he did a lot of work to make them live better.
The show is created in an East-Meet-West way. Dancers perform in the beautifully lit background in the shallow water, and the performance is all on a floating platform, so that it seems like dancers are dancing on the surface of the lake. In such a setting, together with fantastic music background and awesome performance, the show is absolutely a must-see in Hangzhou.

Hi Bill,I just want to thank you for allocating such a good seat for my purchase. It was perfect, close to the stage, yet not blocking anyone when we stood up to take photos. I have recommended my friends for this show, and your service, and not to mention this fantastic seat at VIP Seats.

It was the most amazing performance I have ever seen! To see so many performers moving across the water was breath taking. They ran, they danced, they did acrobatics. I feel blessed to have witnessed such a wonderful show. Hangzhou is beautiful. Impression West Lake is a show that you do not want to miss!

I just saw the Impression Westlake performance, and I too find it breathtaking. The August night was uncomfortably hot and humid, but that didn’t stop me from appreciating the wonderful show.
(5) Elton says:
I just saw the West Lake show early October 2010. A little bit chilly at night, but the show was amazingly beautiful. The music was beautiful. China never disappoints (although you need to get used to the culture).
