The West Lake Scenic Area is gearing up to offer a memorable experience for visitors this Mid-Autumn Festival. Last year’s popular Moon Boats, inspired by the legend of the 33 moons of Santan Yinyue Islet, are making a comeback for three nights. The West Lake Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Worship Ceremony will also be returning. Join us for a leisurely cruise past iconic landmarks like Huxin Pavilion and Xiaoyingzhou (Santan Yinyue) as you soak in the breathtaking beauty of West Lake under a moonlit sky. This year’s Moon Boat tour will feature more performances than ever. Prepare to be captivated by a traditional Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Worship Ceremony. Immerse yourself in the enchanting melodies of a ruan and xiao (traditional Chinese musical instruments) ensemble, followed by a wonderful performance of the iconic farewell scene from Butterfly Lovers, as the star-crossed lovers bid each other adieu. Witness the grace and beauty of traditional dances like the Solo Dance in the Moon and the Fish and Dragon Dance. Not only will your senses be delighted, but you’ll also contribute to a greener future. The year’s Moon Boat tour tickets are made of environmentally friendly, degradable paper and contain flower seeds. Take home your ticket and plant the seeds to grow beautiful flowers.
