Enduring Memories of Hangzhou is a grand water-based live performance staged on West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. Produced by Hangzhou Impression West Lake Culture Development Co Ltd and directed by renowned filmmaker Zhang Yimou, it premiered during the 2016 G20 Hangzhou Summit. On Sept 4, 2016, this spectacular symphonic water performance was presented to G20 leaders in the scenic Yuehu area of West Lake.

The show uses water as the stage, offering an innovative interpretation of classical stage art. It combines rich elements of Chinese cultural heritage – including vocal music, dance, and opera – to creatively reinterpret classical Chinese and international pieces such as Moonlight over the Spring River, High Mountains and Flowing Water, Tea Picking Dance, The Butterfly Lovers, Swan Lake, Unforgettable Jasmine and My Motherland and I. The performance highlights the theme “Enduring Memories of Hangzhou” and embodies the spirit of “Jiangnan charm, Chinese elegance, and global harmony”.

On May 1, 2017, Enduring Memories of Hangzhou resumed as a tourism version, bringing the night of West Lake back to the world stage. In order to share this remarkable piece – originally performed at the G20 Summit – with the general public, the creative team retained its core features while making selective adaptations to the original production. Music, dance, and visual elements were reinterpreted to make the performance more accessible while preserving its artistic excellence.
