One of the best performances/show I've seen. The artists are all professional dancers and the stunts they did were amazing! Stage effects and choreography was also top tier, even Broadway is limited. It was truly a 4D experience. On a side note the story is a bit mature. It was about romancing, love, and couples that meet different kinds of tragedy. There were sexual innuendos too (though artistically and theatrically done, it is obvious for adults). Still, there are a lot of kids in the audience and overall it was a performance all age group and sex can enjoy. Do note if such a subject theme makes you uncomfortable.
Uno spettacolo meraviglioso pieno di effetti sorprendenti li porta all'interno di tante storie locali con costumi, molto belli e performance di livello.

Shuhe Ancient Town, located 4 kilometers northwest of Lijiang Old Town, Lijiang City, is a small market town around Lijiang Old Town with a history of thousands of years. It is more like a quiet and elegant version of Lijiang Old Town. In addition to the similar architecture, it is more quiet and cozy.
- The Ancient Tea-Horse Road Museum is located on Zhonghe Road. It consists of Dajue Palace and Yuantian Pavilion ruins. It is the first private museum in China with the theme of tea-horse culture. More than 800 cultural relics related to the Ancient Tea-Horse Road are exhibited in the museum, vividly showing the historical features of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road.
- Dajue Palace was built during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty and was an important part of the Shuhe Courtyard of the Mu family chieftain at that time. Its building has a single-eaved hip roof and a raised beam structure. It has been preserved for more than 400 years. The 6 murals preserved in the hall integrate multiple religions and painting styles and are rare art treasures.
- Qinglong Bridge was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. It is all built with five-colored stones. It is the largest and most intact stone bridge in Shuhe, and it is also a landmark building during the heyday of the Mu family chieftain.
Natural ecological landscape
- Jiuding Dragon Pond The water of the pond comes from the cracks of the rocks at the foot of Longquan Mountain. It is not deep, but it is not muddy in summer and not shallow in winter. The clear water overflows from the cracks of the rocks, nourishing the ancient town. The pond is surrounded by green willows hanging down to the ground, and the green cypresses point to the sky. There are many fish swimming in the pond, and the Yulong Snow Mountain is reflected in it, with beautiful scenery.
- Three Rivers Flowing Together The three streams of Qinglong River, Jiuding River and Shuhe River pass through the town. The "Three Rivers Flowing Together" flows through the streets and villages, making Shuhe have both the natural beauty of the field scenery and the charm of the water town of Jiangnan town.

I bought the ticket very early, but the driver who picked me up at the airport said it was not as good as Landscape Love. I was actually nervous, but the kid was very engaged during the show, and the actors in several chapters were actually the same group of people, which was really hard. I was not as disappointed as I thought, I felt it was very good. But the waiting room is really hard to describe. The ticket position is very good, in the middle of the fourth row, Ctrip is great.
This package includes tickets for Lashi Lake Wetland Park and Lishui Jinsha Song and Dance Show, which is much cheaper than buying them separately. Lashi Lake can be entered by exchanging the QR code sent, and Lishui Jinsha Show can be entered by reporting the mobile phone number and name. Lashi Lake has beautiful scenery and is worth visiting, and Lishui Jinsha Show is also very exciting.

In the evening, I went blind in the ancient city and walked to the door to see that the charge was 35 yuan and I didn't want to enter. At a glance, I could give a discount of seven yuan and place an order decisively. The scenic area is not big, but the various lights are quite chic. It is very good to overlook the entire ancient city of Lijiang in the scenic area. The top floor of the scenic Wangu Building can overlook the entire downtown Lijiang. It is recommended to come when it is dark, so that you can stay until night, and you can see the scenery during the day and night.
Very worth a visit to the observation deck, you can see the panoramic view of Yulong Snow Mountain and Lijiang Ancient City at the same time. It is worth a visit. There are a total of 5 floors in Wangu Building. The scenic spot is on the hillside and there is a small door directly connected to Mufu, but you have to buy an extra ticket for Mufu.
