Beautiful and romantic, here in Lishui, you can have an extraordinary experience just the same as visiting the exceptional water villages in the southern region of the Yangtze River depicted by many renowned poets in the ancient time. By the Lishui River, you can immerse yourself in the Dreamy Water Town with fantastic night views.

At the national 4A Dreamy Water Town Scenic Area in Lishui, The Legend of Lishui, an immersive reality night cruise performance featuring a water-based flower market on the Lishui River, are presented to visitors.

With lighting ships, the cruise uses city lighting, art lighting and performance lighting to radiate and activate the commercial communities along both sides of the river. By combining art and technology, it aims to illuminate the picturesque water town.

In fact, the night cruise fully draws on the profound historical and cultural essence of Lishui. The ships sail from Luomeng Gorge, the headstream of Lishui River. Also, by applying the artistic conception of Lishui's "Three Flowers and One Fish" (Lily, Butterfly Orchid, Bougainvillea, and Koi) and the image of moon symbolizing reunion, and integrating intangible cultural heritage elements such as Cantonese opera, Kungfu, and Lion Dance, the cruise showcases the charm of Lishui's water town culture.

In addition, the night tour also takes advantage of the riverside landscape and architecture, as well as modern lighting technology and performance art to create nine spectacular performance scenes, including "Drums Awakening the Lion," "Dreamlike Wonderland," "Flowers and Moon," "Drums Beating," "Waterfront Floral Beauty," "Drama appreciation" "Guangdong Opera" "Whispering Wishes," and "Blooming World".

With the application of high-tech lighting technologies such as laser projection and spray, the project transforms the ecological environment of Lishui River into a performance stage. Organically combining virtual images, real characters, and natural environments, it provides audience with a captivating audiovisual feast that encompasses water, land, and air.

Besides, there is a new cruise ship named "Red Carp" on the line. Visitors can take the modern and elegant ship to enjoy the gorgeous night view of the riversides, and feel the beauty of the water town.

The Legend of Lishui carries the vision of Lishui to develop night economy and promote the integration and upgrading of culture and tourism. After the opening and operation of the night tour project, it will become the first demonstration and leading project of the brand of "Water Nanhai". Moreover, it will also be the first night tour project in Guangdong Province and even the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area dedicated to lighting performance, a new benchmark for Foshan's night economic consumption and a new business card of Nanhai to welcome visitors from home and abroad.
