In the future, visitors to Hefei city, Anhui province, will be able to enjoy outdoor performances surrounded by real mountains and rivers in venues such as the ancient town of Sanhe and Chaohu Lake.

In an attempt to entice more tourists, culture and tourism industries in Hefei city are trying new development patterns. To tackle the current lack of entertainment in scenic spots, Hefei is trying to create cultural tourism brands similar to 'Impression Lijiang' and 'Impression Liu Sanjie'. In the future, tourists will be able to enjoy great sightseeing in the daytime and intriguing performances at night.

Hefei city already offers various local cultural performances. In October, tourists can expect a new show based on the beauty of Huangshan Mountain and the story of Deng Xiaoping.
