Impression West Lake - Legend of the White Snake

 

As the story goes, a female white snake demon, Bai Suzhen or Lady White, dreams of becoming a goddess. So she takes on mortal form and steps into the human world. On the broken bridge of the West Lake, she meets a handsome scholar Xu Xian, who saved her life in the previous life. The two fall in love and get married.

 

A monk intervenes in order to save the scholar's soul and casts Lady White into a deep well at the Leifeng Pagoda.

Over time, the tale has evolved from a horror story to one of romance. Together with other legends of the lake, it rests quietly in every corner within the landscape.

 

Set around Su Causeway and Curved Yard and Lotus Pool, on the water of Yue Lake, is the musical's natural stage.

 

When the night falls, colored lighting shrouds the lake, with hills and water as its backdrop.

 

Lady White walks across the water to meet her lover Xu Xian coming in a small boat. The stage is set three centimeters below the lake and can descend a further half a meter.

 

When the light fades, visitors can see fish and lotus lanterns - played by hundreds of actors - glimmer in the dark. And with the help of modern technology, a "bridge of heaven" rises into the sky, uniting the long-separated couple at end of the play.

 

Audiences from all parts of the world wil be fascinated by the spectacle.


According to some visitors who had enjoyed the marvelous shows:
