Drifting multi-dimensional experience show "Zhiyin" (Republic-era steamship, a 1920s Wuhan story; audiences can dress up and enter the play). Moored at Hankou Jiangtan, the vintage steamship "Zhiyin" is a theater you can walk through: the drifting multi-dimensional experience show "Zhiyin" is set in 1920s Wuhan, and ticket-holders step into the story the moment they board; performers move through cabins, ballroom and decks, audience and actors share the same spaces, and the plot unfolds layer by layer aboard the moving hull, thoroughly breaking down the boundary between spectator and performer. Boarding in Republic-era dress is recommended (costume is part of the experience), with qipao and changshan (long gown) rentals available on site; the 19:30 show runs about 90 minutes as the ship glides slowly along the Yangtze, the lights of both banks in view from the railing. Tickets start at CNY 298 and vary by cabin class; popular showings require advance booking—this is Wuhan's flagship nighttime culture-and-tourism product.

Getting there: Zhiyin Pier, Hankou Jiangtan
