Last night we all loaded up in taxi's and headed to an outside performance. It is called Impression West Lake. It was done by the same guy who did the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics. It was incredible!! I have given a link at the bottom that shows a little about it. Also I think you can YouTube Hangzhou Impression West Lake and see something about it. YouTube is blocked here, but Google brought up something. It is a show that is on the lake. They have built a stage that is about 6 inches underwater. So it looks like the people are dancing on the water. The story is a famous folktale here in China. Our guide tried to explain it, but I was lost. :) It was really neat to watch, but was a little hard wrestling a 20 month old. He did pretty good, and we were glad it was outside. He did have the crowd entertained before the show. All the women were wanting to hold him. We had a fortune teller tell us that he was going to be a smart boy. He said he could tell by the shape of his face. ha!! I think he could tell just by watching him. :) Just FYI-we did not solicit the fortune teller. He was sitting right in front of us. :) He freely gave us his "secret" info.
I have attached two pictures but they are a little hard to see. It is hard to explain just how fascinating this was. Also the tickets were cheap. Only in China can you put on a show of this magnitude and pay so little.
