🎭 Review of the Huaxiacheng performance in Weihai, China! 360-degree revolving stage + realistic performance = ultimate immersion.

Weihai, Shandong Province, China.

A mere 1 hour and 30 minutes by plane from Incheon, it's a much closer overseas destination than you might think. ✈️

The most memorable moment of my trip to Weihai, China!
It was the "Shenyou Huaxia" (神游华夏) performance I saw at Huaxiacheng (华夏城).

At first, I thought it was just a traditional performance,
but 5 minutes into the show, my expression was = 😮 Wow…

⸻

🔄 Revolving Auditorium + Stage All Around!?

The key to this performance is
the fact that the auditorium rotates 360 degrees!

Mountains in front, a river on the side, a palace behind...
It's literally a stage all around.
Even if I just sit there, the stage rotates around me,
making me feel like I'm the main character in a story!

⸻

💦 Suddenly, a waterfall appears!?

I was really immersed in the show,
when suddenly water poured down from the stage, creating a waterfall!
The lighting, mist, and fireworks all came together,
making it feel like watching a movie. 🎬

⸻

🖌 There's even a calligraphy performance before the show!

The actors performed traditional calligraphy before the audience.

But... here's a tip!

You can raise your hand and receive a piece for sale (not free, mind you✋)

It's best to just enjoy it quietly hehe

⸻

🎶 The music has a slightly B-movie feel, though?

The music had a slightly B-movie feel,
and some scenes made me think, "Huh? That's a bit Chinese?"

But the overall scale was so overwhelming,
that I just overlooked it for fun. 😄

⸻

👨👩👧👦 Perfect for watching with parents!

The story is in Chinese,
but the expressions, movements, and atmosphere are enough to convey it! There are no subtitles.

The entire mountain is a stage, and the audience seats rotate 360 degrees, so it was a great experience to watch with my parents.💗
My parents were even more focused.

⸻

🧥 Here's a tip!

The performance takes place at night in the mountains,
so the air is chilly! Bringing a jacket is essential!!

Bringing water and a blanket will make the experience much more comfortable :)

⸻

📸 Photography is totally OK!

You can take photos during the show as long as you turn off the flash!

From fireworks and lighting to the floating stage,
there were so many great photo opportunities for social media! ✨
