Enjoy the music fountain by the West Lake. As the saying goes, a sunny West Lake is better than a rainy West Lake, and a rainy West Lake is worse than a night West Lake. It was dark, and we came to the edge of the West Lake, where everyone could enjoy the unique beauty at night. At night, you can see several boats on the lake sliding slowly with the lights on, which is very interesting. As the sky gets darker, the surrounding area of West Lake becomes more and more lively. Some people drink tea and chat in the teahouse, and couples or families take a leisurely walk by the lake. Enjoy the sparkling West Lake, and everyone can enjoy the leisure time of Hangzhou people at night.
Walking along the lake, Sister Cuttlefish came to the observation deck beside the West Lake Music Fountain, which is an excellent angle to watch the fountain. With the sound of music, the fountain rises and falls, completely in line with the rhythm of music, and the LED lights of various colors change accordingly, and the lighting effect is very good. At this time, everyone can take out their mobile phones and collect the colors of the fountain by taking pictures. Music Fountain has a wide selection of background music, including Chinese and foreign classic pop songs and famous traditional musical instruments in China. Don't be shy if you meet familiar background music. You can sing with the tourists who come to see it.

Sister cuttlefish came to Hangzhou these days, which coincided with the promotion of intangible cultural heritage in Hangzhou. Classic storytelling dramas such as Journey to the West "An" will be staged randomly in Dahua Bookstore, the old venue in Hangzhou, and I am fortunate to be here, seeing that Mr. Luo, the non-genetic storytelling inheritor, has already put on a Chinese robe and is waiting for the performance to begin. Through Mr. Luo's wonderful performance, you can hear many interesting Hangzhou dialects, understand the history of Hangzhou and feel the changes of Hangzhou customs.

When China's ancient talk show "Pingtan" comes to Hangzhou and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we must listen to a local drama-Pingtan. Pingtan consists of Pinghua and Tanci. Pinghua usually begins with a lecture by a person on the stage, and the content is mostly historical romance or heroes. Tanci was played by two people, who sang while playing China's classical musical instruments Sanxian and Pipa, continuing the folklore in Pinghua. Pingtan enriched the leisure time of the ancients, spread for 400 years, and became a widely spread form of opera in Jiangnan area. Sitting in the theater and drinking a pot of jasmine tea, everyone can enjoy the performance of pingtan, which is completely different from western traditional drama, and feel the cultural connotation of China traditional drama.
As an ancient "talk show" in China, pingtan's humorous local dialect and delicate and euphemistic singing show the connotation of China's traditional culture in language art and music creation, attracting many travelers who are interested in traditional culture like Muyu. When you come to Hangzhou, you must not miss this wonderful opera experience.
Maybe you can't understand the local dialect of the performer when you are performing, but it doesn't matter. You can check the information yourself before watching the performance and take the initiative to understand these traditional plays. Looking at it with a research mentality, you will gain more than just watching the excitement. At the same time, the costumes, makeup, demeanor and skills of the actors in the performance process, including the scenery of the stage and the interaction with the audience, can stimulate the interest of the audience. So, if you are interested, please be sure to walk into the scene, watch a folk cultural performance with your own eyes and experience the local history and culture.
