Spend an unforgettable evening at Xianghu Lake and enjoy one of Hangzhou’s newest large-scale night performances. “Xianghu Elegance” is a grand outdoor water show staged on an expansive open-air platform by the lake.

Blending music, dance, lighting effects, and water choreography, the performance transforms the tranquil scenery of Xianghu into a spectacular stage of light and movement. The show draws inspiration from the artistic stage aesthetics seen during the Hangzhou Asian Games closing ceremony.

With dramatic lighting design, immersive music, and large-scale choreography, the performance delivers a visually stunning cultural experience. Unlike traditional indoor theatre shows, the Xianghu stage is built across the lake, creating a vast performance space where water, light, and music merge together.

The open-air setting allows the performance to interact with the natural landscape, making the show both grand and atmospheric. Compared with many other lake shows in Hangzhou, the stage area at Xianghu is significantly larger, allowing for impressive water effects, dynamic lighting, and sweeping choreography that fills the entire lakeside stage.

Located just outside the historic centre of Hangzhou, Xianghu is known for its peaceful scenery and beautiful waterfront landscape. Watching the show here offers visitors a different perspective of the city beyond the famous West Lake area.

This performance is an excellent evening activity after a day of sightseeing in Hangzhou, combining culture, music, technology, and natural scenery in one memorable night experience.
