Lijiang Impressions Show, Yunnan, China
4.5 (710 reviews) Friday: 9:00 AM - 12:00 AM Spent Ranking #3 in Lijiang Theaters
What a moving show of the tribal cultures!
Of all my travels in many different countries and having seen innumerable shows indoors and outdoors, this show ranks as one of the very best! The setting is against the splendidly stunning Jade Dragon Snow Mountains-- the performers represent the many different minority tribes of Yunnan, China. The choreography, the written descriptions/explanations, and the very touching music are all part of making this outdoor show exceptional! What's even more moving is in between the lines of what this show means: how the Chinese culture respects the indiginous tribes and includes them along with the mass population in every day living--- from job employments to displaying their cultures in shows and education. This performance is named "Impressions of Lijiang", which says a lot about the Chinese mind-set. Lijiang, as many visitors attest to it, is beautiful in itself with many aspects of ancient cultures and a rich history, besides the indigenous ones. Any great shows can be choreographed to be proudly named "Impressions of Lijiang". However, the city of Lijiang and the government chose the theme of this show to highlight the many tribal cultures in Yunnan. There are more than 26 tribes in Yunnan through the thousand years and they are still thriving, with their livelihood fused into the main Han culture. We don't even have any shows in the USA that fully pay respect to our Native American cultures here, let alone a show being fully sponsored by the Government. This show was choreographed by China's world-famous director Zhang YiMou who was commissioned by China to design 3 spectacular shows in the whole country thus far: one in Hangzhou, one in Guilin and this one in Yunnan. It is absolutely a MUST SEE for all to experience the beauty, dignity and the sentiments of the many tribes in this performance--- the poetically powerful speech by each of the tribes at the end of this spectacle would move you to tears!

Very Impressive
Director Yimou Zhang designs series of live-action performance. Lijiang Impressions Show is one of them. It is outdoor performance and all actors are local people (minority people). Their enthusiasm and performance could catch your eye easily. If you miss it, you could miss to feel and know local calture part. The show experience and snow mountain tour need combined and mixed together. That is one integrated tour day of Yulong Snow Mountain (natural and cultural). Lijiang Impressive Show ticket is CNY280 person at the show ticket box. Online booking is CNY228 person. Two sessions of the show a day at 11:10 and 13:30. Suggestion: join a local day tour. It is the best and economic way. Day tour package is CNY550 person including local transportation, entry fee, electromobile(to cable car station), return cable car tickets, impression lijiang show. - car rental to Yulong Snow Mountain from Lijiang old town: CNY200/day/car - snow mountain entry fee: CNY130/person - electromobile & cable car: CNY200/person - impression lijiang show ticket: CNY280/person (or CNY228 online booking) Tips: 1. oxygen bottle CNY68 for small one. It is optional one in case you are anoxia on snow mountain. In fact you don't need it if you are health and strong. 2. Please wear enough warm overcoat and take some warm drink.
