Let us transport you back a thousand years, let us take you to the ancient Three Kingdoms Period where the spirit of the great military hero Guan Yu comes to life! This magnificent, breath-taking open-air show, using the Yangtze as its stage, tells the stories of a bygone world with 21st century technology – 3D holographic lasers, sound effects, lights, high-definition projections that were so successfully showcased at the London Olympics – in a spectacular sound-and-light extravaganza.

Feng Yan San Guo (烽烟三国) or “The War Fire of Three Kingdoms Show”, is a 9-part show on a vast stage of the river itself, with 180 degree mobile audience seats. The highlight scene for many is the “Battle of the Red Cliff”, when 5 huge stone pillars seem to topple into the river but are then transformed into ships – utterly magical, dazzling and creative! This will surely be the most memorable of evenings of your Yangtze River cruise. With the War Fire of Three Kingdoms Show, Century Cruises takes you to the heart of the richness of Chinese history.
