Dream Valley Scenic Area - Rainstorm and Flash Flood Performance

梦幻谷景区-暴雨山洪表演

"Heavy Rain and Flash Flood" is a large-scale, live-action "catastrophic" performance project that integrates sound, light, electricity, film and television special effects, and dance, blending ancient, primitive, mysterious, religious, and natural elements. The eerie and mysterious Nuo dance ritual for rain, coupled with torrential rain and catastrophic flash floods, is both majestic and fraught with peril! As lightning streaks across the village, thunder roars, and torrential rain pours down, two columns of water soar skyward, cascading down from the mountaintops and crashing into farmhouses. Visitors marvel at the incredible destructive power of "nature," their faces filled with bewilderment. The water-filled carnival of singing and dancing after rebuilding their homes makes you feel both present and in a dream.
The new version of "Heavy Rain and Flash Flood" features a live-action performance format, incorporating extensive high-tech techniques, making the "flash flood" scenes even more stunning. The performance venue has been relocated from Phoenix Mountain Plaza in the Dream Valley scenic area to Dream Culture Village, expanding the performance area and increasing the number of seats to over 4,000 per show. The 30-minute show is divided into four sections: "Coming of Age Celebration," "Water Dance Love," "Sudden Disaster," and "A New Home." The touching love story of a Water Tribe girl and a Fire Tribe boy runs throughout the show.

After watching this you will feel the power of nature. I was deeply moved. The choreography and music are great.

By Liu Liu June |

The best live show in Dream Valley. This show alone is worth the price of admission. Before, I thought that all the shows were not as good as the Eternal Love series, until I saw this one in Dream Valley. So far, I think it is the best live show. You must see it.

You'll be given a ticket upon entering the scenic area, which includes the show's start time, location, and seat number. Arrive early before the show begins, as it's crowded and takes time to enter. "Rainstorm and Flash Flood" is a truly stunning, high-octane water-based performance at Hengdian Film and Television Studios. It's incredibly thrilling and incredibly powerful, and you'll be in a constant state of "wow" the entire time. Photos and videos simply can't capture the experience. "Rainstorm and Flash Flood" begins at 7:00 AM and lasts about 30 to 40 minutes. It's one of the best shows at Hengdian Film and Television Studios, so don't miss it.

By Mr. Ye who travels around the Emirates |

This show is quite spectacular, you need to find a good seat on the opposite building

By Book Baby |

It's so realistic, I feel like I'm filming a TV show.

By 55 Bear to 66 Dog |

The stage effects are superb...the final flood is very shocking...

By The mysterious Conan |

It was so shocking!!! Especially when the water came up, it was really like a flood. There was also a security guard who was super handsome and tall.

By zhongguohong |

I went to see it at night, and it was spectacular when the flash floods came.

By Ada Yang |

The rainstorm and flash flood were super exciting! So much water rushed down like a flood

By Jessica |

This show is one of the most highly recommended in Hengdian's scenic areas and is well worth seeing. The show time and number will be printed on your ticket when you redeem it at Dream Valley. Shows are typically scheduled based on park entry times and visitor volume. The show lasts about 30 minutes. After viewing the torrential rain and flash floods, follow the signs and follow the crowds to see another show.

By Adam911 |

I went there once during college. Even though it’s been ten years, I still remember the performance very vividly.

By little puppy |

Good show, I thought it was good even though I saw it for the first time

By 戲 |

It was summer vacation when I went there, but I caught a cold after watching it that day...

By REA_Xu Xiaodou |

The show was great. When the flash floods occurred, I and the audience were shocked, haha.

By vincent |

A performance in Dream Valley, the scene is large and realistic

By accommodation |

Very realistic, very dreamy, but there are too many people.

By Avatar |

It's very shocking in Dream Valley. People sitting in the front row will get wet.

By Bathed in rain and wind |

The actors performed well... But I think the plot is a bit clichéd. The last minute is the most exciting part of the whole show.

By where |

The setting is spectacular and the melodramatic characterization is great.

By F Woof Woof |

A conscientious work! The actors are very dedicated, the props are also very exquisite, especially the final flash flood scene is very shocking

By Xia Xiaqi |

One of the two big shows in Dream Valley, you must go and see it.

By The sun and the moon in the painting |

The performances at Dream Valley are all recommended first!!!

By Cathy |

It feels so-so, not particularly good-looking.

By Lonely and calm |

The show was great. Maybe because I'm too vulgar, I just like to watch this kind of show. It's colorful and magnificent. It rains and water falls. Fortunately, it's in the water world. The seats are grabbed because we went late. There are only seats on the edge.

By Nie A Miao |

It was quite realistic. When a flash flood broke out, there would really be a huge flow of water rushing down from the rockery setting, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in it. After the performance, the actors would invite the audience to the large square where the performance was held hand in hand and dance in circles. People from different regions and languages ​​were holding hands and singing and laughing. It felt great. If you are not particularly shy, it is recommended to join everyone. *: It is worth noting that because there was water flowing during the flash flood, your shoes may get a little wet.

By Yemen |

The flash floods during heavy rain were quite realistic and well done, worth watching.

By BB loves to cry |

It would be better if the flood at the end of the mythological play could be a little bigger.

By Sisi CHEN |

Actually, I feel that the performance is just average, the effect is great and it looks very emotional.

By Looking up at a 45° angle, your |

There are things to watch and interact with, it's very good and worth a visit

By Shinsukeemon doesn't have a sword |

The stage effect is really not that good, it can't be compared with the performances in Chimelong

By Mengxi's World |

It's very shocking when the rain pours down, the special effects are good, it's worth watching, don't sit in the front row to avoid getting wet

By A little bit of Central Plains |

The live performance is quite shocking and worth watching, and children also like it.

By Lychee 123 |

The scene was very shocking, the trip was worthwhile and there were many surprises.

By Xin'er, um |

The performance was wonderful, with the fusion of water and fire being vivid and lifelike.

By Trees |

The performance was very impressive. I've seen Impression Lijiang and Impression West Lake before! Each performance deeply moved me!

By Zhao Yingjun and Ajiu Ye |

It was very shocking. The scene was very grand. I could feel the performers' dedication.

By Swear to wander around the world |

The performance was amazing! It was really worth it!!!

By A Rumo |

Personally, I think Fantasy Tai Chi is better because it is shorter and has only some fixed stunts. However, the Songkran Festival where everyone gets high together at the end is still good. It's a pity that there are no swimsuits.

By Milo |

It is slightly inferior to Dream Tai Chi, but the overall sound and visuals are also quite good.

By Peppa Pig |

The effects are good, it’s exciting to watch, the scene settings are good, and the actors are very dedicated.

By Together |

A performance in Dream Valley, held once a day, is very exciting and worth seeing, both in terms of details and atmosphere.

By Wu Wuqing |

I've been here several times. It's similar to Songcheng, with the same routine. It's worth a visit.

By Hongyu |

It is really shocking! The scene is grand, and the sound effects, water and fire effects complement each other.

By Tofu |

It was quite shocking and powerful. It's worth watching.

By Wang Xiaozhu-- |

It was a very shocking show, it's worth going. The first time I watched it was in an open air place, and the second time I went there was a dedicated seat. I felt that the first time was still special.

By Yan Bingxuan |

Torrential Rain and Flash Flood is one of Dream Valley's two signature performances, the other being Dream Tai Chi. Torrential Rain and Flash Flood takes place in an open-air stadium-like venue. VIP seats are located at the front, and you have to pay extra to get in. Therefore, you won't get wet in other seats. Therefore, we recommend sitting closer to the front row for a better view. Perhaps because it's so famous, it attracts a lot of visitors. The venue is large, and seating is free; there's no need to look for the seat marked on your ticket; no one is assigned seats.

I don't know if it's because I've read too many praises and had too high expectations for it, but in the end I didn't feel much when I watched it. A lot of the time I couldn't quite understand what the narration was saying (maybe it was a bit far away and the weather was too cold), so I wasn't too immersed in it, which led to a bit of disappointment. I was just a little scared at the moment when the flash flood broke out at the end, but that was because there were a few young actors running below, and the flood was right behind them, so I was a bit worried, but in the end they managed to escape successfully. Later I thought about it, there shouldn't be any danger in itself, after all, it's such a large-scale performance.

By Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs |

This is the most shocking performance I have ever seen! Worth seeing

By Minor Role |

It's not as good as Fantasy Tai Chi. Fantasy Tai Chi is probably the best show in Hengdian.

By After tomorrow |

There is only one show at night, and the lighting effect is particularly good

By 5 |

In Dream Valley, it's just a stage performance, and I don't have much interest in it.

By Superman in Open Pants |

This is a project in Dream Valley. The evening show is spectacular, with a "flash flood" pouring down. Afterwards, you can also participate in the water splashing carnival, which is super exciting.

By Lulu |

A show in Hengdian Dream Valley. I watched it at night during a spring outing organized by my class. The scene was grand and the performance was very good.

By Lucky buns |

It's so exciting! Forgive me for being an emotional person, I actually cried. It's worth the money and worth recommending.

By Ugly, fat, dark and old |

Many years later, I still have a deep feeling. I remember the shock I felt when watching it, and I unconsciously followed their emotions. The heavy rain produced was very touching, and the joy at the end, everyone danced together. Highly recommended

By Mu Nan in Jianghu |

The performance of the rainstorm and flash flood was very shocking in the later stage. It was good. Just don't sit too close to the stage or you will be splashed with water.

By Orange Sir |

The show is a performance program in Dream Valley.

Remember to bring a change of clothes, as many people will get wet. Be sure to take away important things, such as wallets, mobile phones and other electronic devices, to be careful not to damage them, as that would be terrible.

It is best to go in summer, not in winter as it is very cold.

Also, be careful not to wear too little, or you might expose yourself. However, many children love it, and there are performances and entertainment areas, which is great! I hope everyone has fun!

By ZHUHUIJUAN |

I was very moved by this show and thought it was a great show, especially when the flood came down from the mountain. It was really great. In the front, there was a wizard praying for rain and dancing, and then there were thunder and lightning. The flood was so intense that I was scared. It was spectacular and I felt like I was there. Fortunately, I wore a disposable raincoat.

By Full |

Remember to sit in the first row and wear a swimsuit because at the end of the show, the first row of tourists will be given small basins to play games and exchange for souvenirs.

I just don't know if it's still there. I went there in July.

By Shuishui |

This show is great, you must go, you must go, you must go!

By sweet lazy bear |

It's quite turbulent. A very special performance. Worth watching

By ~Xiaoyao_Xian Xiaomu |

It's a regular show at Dream Valley. It's pretty standard, about a war between the Moon and Sun tribes, but then a young couple emerges (reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, right?). Their love sparks opposition from their tribes, and during the fight, the boy dies while trying to save someone. This alerts Dayu, who saves the boy, and then something like that—a flood? The two tribes work together to create a magical artifact that controls the flood. That's about it. The special effects for the flash flood at the end are quite impressive and spectacular. If you have time after Dream Valley, you can check out this show, but be sure to schedule it right; you probably won't be able to enter if you're late.

By Yingzi |

A famous scenic spot in Hengdian, the lights at night are particularly shocking and worth seeing

By Liu Yiwan? Not enough! |

It's nice to go to the water park and the performances are quite attractive.

By Xiaowei |

The scene is realistic, not special effects, but real scenes. It is a major sign of Dream Valley.

By whoooooo |

Spectacular, not bad, it's quite shocking, haha

By Geaogao |

It's quite interesting...but you have to protect your belongings...it's a bit cold after playing in the water at night

By Meow meow meow, |

The plot is actually very boring, but Dayu's appearance made the audience laugh happily, and then Trampling the White Cloud came out, haha

The "Rainstorm and Flash Flood" show is one of four shows in the Dream Valley scenic area. We came to Dream Valley after watching the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". When we arrived, there were already many people inside. Because it was the National Day holiday, there were many tour groups. When we entered, the tickets we got were for the shows at 8pm and 9pm. Before the show, it was really boring because there were people everywhere. Apart from the show, there were some thrilling large-scale entertainment facilities. The rainstorm and flash flood were quite boring at the beginning, but it was quite shocking when the flash flood broke out at the end. All in all, it is worth seeing.

Maybe I have seen too many shows like this. There are also some in Songcheng, Hangzhou. I don’t think they are very amazing.

There are too many people in Hengdian Scenic Area. It is quite crowded. The rainstorm and flash flood are quite exciting.

By Summer - Falling Rain |

Very shocking, highly recommended, very realistic and spectacular!

By Heykristina |

This one is pretty good, with water, music, and lights. It looks good too. Recommended!

By V Peas |

After all, it is the work of director Chen Weiya, it is great and shocking

By AIR (clear sky) |

One of the performances at Hengdian Film and Television City, the scene is grand and realistic

By ngl |

The performance was at night and the audience sat in the stands, but tourists often shot water guns and left their seats to stand on the side to watch the performance. After a while, the security guard reminded us to leave because a flash flood was about to come. We stood in the position allowed by the security guard. After a while, a lot of water really rushed down and the audience in the front row got their clothes wet by the splashing water. Well, it was dark, otherwise I really wanted to figure out where all the water came from.
