The Legend of Romance in Song Town
A grand-scale musical performed in Hangzhou’s Song Dynasty Town theme park, The Legend of Romance in Song Town combines sound, light, electronics, and stage machinery to reproduce scenes from the Song Dynasty economy, culture, and lifestyle (10th-13th centuries). The program showcases silk, the local specialty tea, and the south-of-Yangtze landscape. The show is performed more than 2,000 times each year, with nine daily performances during peak season. Over its 19-year run, there have been more than 20,000 performances for an audience exceeding 60 million.

The Romance of the Song Dynasty is regarded as “Three Famous Shows around the World” together with the O Show of Las Vegas and Moulin Rouge of Paris. It shows the hardship of ancient Liangzhu people, splendor of Song Palace, tragedy of Yue’s Army, and eternal love tragedies (LIANG Shanbo and ZHU Yingtai, White Snake and XU Xian) in an unexpected way through advanced acoustic, lighting and electric technologies, providing great visual experience and spiritual shock for audiences. Its classic plays include Light of Liangzhu, Feast Dance at Song Palace, Shining Spears and Armoured Horses, A Tale of Xizi, Charming Hangzhou, etc.
