The show goes on…..
Two cormorants tied to a bamboo pole
Little girls serenading
So cute
On the way out
Fishermen leading the way
The group grows
Actors look like they are walking on water
Actually on a floating raft, others in real rafts
Fisherman with his birds
Going fishing
Many of them
The river fills with more rafts
That is a real water buffalo on the floating raft
Obviously, the moon
Somewhere during this story, the girl dies
She will re-appear on the moon
Fishermen are waiting
The scenery went dark
The rowing stopped
Suddenly this house appeared
Something special was happening
Then suddenly, there she was
Dancing on the moon
Looks like a princess
The moon rocked as she danced
More actors and actresses were entering the scene
Graceful, and set to wonderful music
All alone
Soon she will be gone
Surrounded by boats
Dancing
Symbolic story
Another special float
The pagoda
Special float
Her final dance
Soon the moon was gone
Boats leaving
Here come more actresses
Slowly filing into the river
Heading towards the moon
Dressed in white robes
Synchronized dance
Boatmen
Changing costumes
Extremely long hair, real or not?
One girl is gathering the robes
Going for a costume change
Wearing tights
All one color
New costumes coming
Red and blue silk
The girl is going away
Here comes her red clothing
Dressing must signify something
Here comes her boyfriend
Joining each other
Together, but maybe only in his dreams
Sailing off into the sunset
A line of lit up performers
Zig-zagging into the river
What a sight to see
Glowing like silver
And getting bigger
Joined from the opposite side with more performers
Native headdresses and clothing
Will meet in the middle
Taking a bow
Towards the end of the show
All set in the river
With the limestone monoliths in the backround
Eventually, all 600 performers were on the river stage
Fishermen taking a bow
Good job
Bright and colorful
Music still blasting
Taking a bow
Towards the end
Bright
Red is the lucky color in China
Hats off to them
Some of the cast
Many stars
