Showtimes
Usual start times and the daily schedule
The number of shows each day shifts with season and demand. These are the usual slots and what each one is like.
18:30
- Begins before full dark, so you see the sky change during the first acts
- Usually the busiest and most requested slot
- Finishes earliest, which leaves the most options for the ride back
Good if you need an early return, travel with children, or have a tight schedule.
19:55
- Starts after dark, so the lighting and water effects read clearly
- The largest crowds, so the entry and security queue takes longer
- A safe choice if you want the full evening staging
Good if you want the lighting at its best and can allow extra time at the gate.
21:20
- Fully dark by the time the show starts
- Usually fewer guests than the earlier starts
- Metro Line 9 has stopped by the time this show finishes
Good if you do not mind a late return and prefer a smaller crowd.
22:45
- The latest start and usually the smallest audience
- Finishes close to 23:30, after the last metro has gone
- You will need a taxi, a ride-hail car or your own car afterwards
Good if you have a car, plan a taxi, or are staying in Lintong.
