Yangshuo has long been synonymous with "the world's most beautiful landscapes." Every time I visit, I'm captivated by its stunning scenery and vibrant culture. The highlight of this trip is the "Impression Liu Sanjie" live performance. I'm sure many visitors to Yangshuo will have it on their bucket list. After all, it's a visual feast combining natural beauty, ethnic culture, and a breathtaking light show! This itinerary highlights: During the day, you can cruise the Li River, explore West Street shops, or cycle through the Ten-Mile Art Gallery. In the evening, you'll enjoy the "Impression Liu Sanjie" performance, capping your trip with the iconic "Yangshuo Night." Whether you're a young artist or a photography enthusiast, you'll definitely find your perfect spot. Booking tickets in advance and planning your transportation and accommodation wisely are key to a comfortable experience! 🌟"Impression Liu Sanjie" Live Performance Guide The location is very easy to find. The theater is located at 1 Tianyuan Road, Yangshuo County, Guilin, at the China Lijiang Landscape Theater. Booking tickets in advance is recommended, especially during peak season and holidays, as it's very popular. Children's tickets are discounted, but please refer to official information and on-site instructions for specific age groups. Performances typically begin in the evening (7:45 PM and 8:45 PM are common) and last approximately 70 minutes. We recommend arriving 30-40 minutes early to ensure you have time to find your seat and enjoy the beauty of the Li River at night. In the event of rain, the performance team will adjust or cancel the performance accordingly. Please pay attention to on-site announcements when issuing tickets and entering the venue. 📍Venue Information: - Address: China Lijiang Landscape Theater, No. 1 Tianyuan Road, Yangshuo County, Guilin - Theater: Yangshuo Impression Liu Sanjie Theater 🚗Transportation and Parking Tips Driving is a convenient option. There is a dedicated parking lot near the theater, but it can be full during peak season, so we recommend arriving early. Cycling or walking from West Street is also very close, allowing you to experience the tranquility of the town at night. Public transportation, such as taxis or Didi Chuxing, is also very convenient, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. 🎟️Ticket Purchasing & Entry Tips Tickets can be booked in advance through various official channels. Children's tickets have a price difference, but this will need to be verified on-site. Be sure to bring your ID or reservation receipt upon entry. Seating is clearly marked, and we recommend choosing a center seat for a better view. After the show, crowds can be large, so if you're pressed for time, leave early to avoid the crowds. 👀Practical Tips - Flash photography is not recommended during the show to respect the atmosphere. - In summer, mosquitoes are common, so we recommend wearing long pants or mosquito repellent. - The performance venue is open-air, so bring a light jacket for cooler nights. - If traveling with children, be sure to check the child ticket rules and height requirements in advance. 🍴Nearby Dining Recommendations There are many local snacks near the venue. After the show, walk to West Street. Don't miss the Guilin rice noodle and beer fish stalls. The several B&B restaurants on Tianyuan Road are especially recommended for their quiet atmosphere and authentic flavors. 🌄 Recommended Extended Itinerary Before the show, plan a Li River bamboo rafting trip or a bike ride along the Ten-Mile Gallery. Explore the rural beauty of Yangshuo during the day, and return to the theater in the evening to admire the natural beauty of the landscape, experiencing the dual charm of Yangshuo. #YangshuoShanshui #ImpressionLiuSanjie #Parent-ChildTravel #Self-DrivingTour #ShowViewing
