The seventh work of Zhang Yimou's 'Impression' series, premiered in 2010; the theater stands at the foot of Dawang Peak with a 360-degree rotating auditorium, where performers merge with tea fields and real mountain-and-water scenery. Woven around Wuyi tea history and the stories of its tea people, the 'mountain, water and tea' trio has become a fixture of Wuyi Mountain night tours. The show floods the hillsides with light, turning the Danxia cliffs into a giant backdrop; in peak season there are two performances nightly, and after the show the scent of tea drifts home with the night mist.
