Yellow Mountain (Mount Huangshan) in Huangshan, China, introduced the Huangshan Yinglong evening performance on 7 October 2026. The production uses the mountain landscape as its stage and combines live performance with an interactive procession after dark.
Huangshan Yinglong brings a night route to Yellow Mountain
The performance was introduced by Huangshan Tourism Development Co., Ltd. on 7 October 2026. Its story draws on the Yinglong legend in the ancient Classic of Mountains and Seas and on cultural traditions associated with the mountain.
The route runs between Paiyun Hotel and Xihai Hotel. Rather than using an indoor theatre, the production moves through mountain forest and night scenery, linking separate scenes as visitors follow the performance from one setting to the next. The organiser describes three chapters: Welcoming the Dragon, The Dragon's Journey and The Dragon's Ascent. The organiser's programme also includes a dragon-invitation ceremony, the awakening of Yinglong and a dance linked to the opening of the mountain.
Yellow Mountain's landscape becomes the performance setting
The production places its story among the granite peaks, rocks and cloud formations for which Mount Huangshan is known. Visitors can write wish cards, join ceremonial activities, interact with mythical creatures and release wish lanterns as part of the evening experience.
The mountain was named Huangshan by imperial order in 747, according to UNESCO. The World Heritage property covers 16,060 hectares and includes granite peaks, ancient pine trees, waterfalls, caves, lakes and hot springs. Its highest peak, Lianhua Peak, reaches 1,864 metres (6,115 ft). UNESCO's Mount Huangshan record describes both its natural scenery and its importance in Chinese art and literature.
That history gives the new night production a setting shaped by both geology and cultural memory. The route between the two hotels is therefore not a detached stage installation: it follows a defined part of a World Heritage mountain landscape while retelling a legend connected with the name Huangshan.
