Zhiyin Hao

"Zhiyin Hao" is the Yangtze River's first drift-style, multi-dimensional experiential drama, staged aboard a restored early-20th-century steamship that sails between Wuhan's First and Second Yangtze River bridges during the performance. Drawing on Wuhan's "Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi" zhiyin legend and old Hankou riverside culture, it tells over a hundred minutes of temporal travel featuring dozens of distinct, living characters, performed by 108 actors across three boarding routes that converge on the top-deck dance floor. Rather than sitting in fixed seats, the audience becomes ship passengers, moving freely through the vessel's dining areas, nearly 100 passenger cabins, ballroom, bar, and upper decks as the stories unfold around them. Guests can change into period costume during the experience and are invited to join the performers in dancing and storytelling.
