Someone at some point recommended seeing the Impression West Lake show, and my parents expressed interest, so we made a plan to go and went. Siqi drove us to the Yellow Dragon Stadium complex and parked, and we all walked to the ticket office, had dinner at a noodle place nearby, watched the show, and went back to the car.
See below for 20 photos from our walk and the show.

Impression West Lake Show
This show consists of 9 unrelated segments (described briefly online and on screens you might or might not be able to see from your seats).
I felt like the tickets were expensive for a casual outdoor venue (US$60 each for “VIP” seats), and I have a hard time appreciating dance that doesn’t tell a story. Also, the stage is covered in water. That’s the point; it enables some unusual effects. But I kept thinking how uncomfortable I’d be if I were having to dance in water… maybe that’s just me. Your mileage may vary!
The photos below don’t give much sense of the dance, and none at all of the music, but you can see that the lights are pretty!
