Itinerary
Sanjie Liu is a revered singing deity within the Zhuang ethnic community. In 1961, a renowned and widely embraced Chinese musical film bearing her name was produced. The theatrical production "Impression-Sanjie Liu" is centered on evoking impressions drawn from the landscapes and everyday existence of the locale. This performance diverges from traditional theater, as it unfolds within the very heart of the natural environment. The backdrop dynamically transforms with the shifting seasons and weather conditions, and the performance seamlessly adapts to these variations. The legend of Sanjie Liu encapsulates the enchanting and guileless essence of the indigenous population of this region, resulting in a distinctive and enthralling spectacle that emerges from a harmonious fusion of human artistry and the compelling forces of nature itself.

So impressive and just stupendous! Beautiful and exciting to watch. I actually went in 2006. The Director went on to organise the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony. Wonderful costumes, thoroughly coordinated dancers and actors - including tiny, very young ones who were perfectly trained. But the most captivating part is the scenery and the colour. The lake panorama spreads before you and action takes place mainly on the water or boats. A huge bolt of red cloth is slowly spread across the water from person to person, boat to boat. So dramatic and a beautiful sight. But so much more too.. You should not miss it! It was the highlight of my visit in this amazingly beautiful area and I shall remember it forever.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad the Impression Sanjie Liu Show was the highlight of your visit to Yangshuo. The combination of the stunning lake panorama, the coordinated dancers, and those dramatic visual moments like the red cloth spreading across the water truly make this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It's a show that stays with you, and we're thrilled it made such a lasting impression. Thank you for sharing, and we hope you'll visit this beautiful area again!
What an amazing show. Zhang Yi Mou has outdone himself here. Great cast, fantastic sets, change of settings, wonderful and seamless transitions, spectacular lights and effects, wonderful sound, all against the backdrop of the maginificent mountain range and on the water ✊😊 a must see show 😊
Thank you for your spectacular review! You've beautifully captured what makes the Impression Sanjie Liu Show so special — the incredible combination of Zhang Yi Mou's artistic vision, the talented cast, stunning lighting and sound effects, all set against the magnificent natural backdrop of Yangshuo's mountains and water. It truly is a must-see show, and we're so happy it left such a strong impression on you. Thank you for sharing!
We were a bit skeptical, but was worth the effort to go. It would have helped if we would’ve read up on the story before not after the show, as we were only guessing what actually was happening. The show was very impressive. I personally did find my surrounding visitors pretty annoying. Even though flash photography is forbidden, no one seems to care and people don’t seem to know how to turn the flash off. I was very happy, that we booked the slightly more expensive rattan chairs, so we had more room and less flashes around us.
Thank you for your review! We're glad you found the show worth it despite initial skepticism. Your tip about reading up on the story beforehand is excellent advice — understanding the legend of Sanjie Liu really enhances the experience. We also appreciate your suggestion about the rattan chairs — the upgraded seating definitely offers a more comfortable and less crowded viewing experience. We're sorry about the flash photography from other visitors, and we continue to work with the venue to improve enforcement. Thank you for sharing these helpful insights!
The show is advertised everywhere. I would say its ok to go, but do not expect too much. the scenery is nice, its a show with lots of people (actors) and that's its. I have been to the shows in Hangzhou and Wuhishan, and they were for sure more impressive. Snajie Liu, you go, have seen it - ok. One time ok, but not a second time. Fair to say, the price is not as high than other shows, but for that the impact or experience is also not that great.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We appreciate you sharing your perspective, especially having experienced similar shows in other cities. We understand that expectations can vary, particularly for those who have seen comparable performances elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
