    This was one of the best performances I’ve seen in a long time. From the very beginning I was impressed by the professionalism of the staff and crew. The stage designers should be very very proud of their work. I would recommend this show to anyone.

    Lijiang Baisha Ancient Town: The tranquil Taoyuan under the snow-capped mountains, the most beautiful thing to come to Lijiang must come to Baisha Ancient Town to see! Here, I found the long-lost tranquility and comfort. It is really an unforgettable travel experience. I must give it to everyone! Historical charm: the ancient capital of Naxi, the ancient town of Baisha, has a history of thousands of years. As one of the important birthplaces of Naxi culture, strolling in it seems to hear the echo of history. The ancient buildings of the town of Baisha, like the Dabaoji Palace, the glazed palace, the moths and the corners, the carved beams and the painting buildings, are full of traces of the years, people can't help but sigh the exquisite skills of the ancient craftsmen. Shuttle in the ancient streets and alleys, touching the ancient walls, as if through time and space, and history came into an intimate contact, really shocking! Natural beauty: the poetic blend of snow-capped mountains and ancient towns It is very close to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Find a corner in the ancient town. You can see the magnificent snow-capped mountains as soon as you look up. The snow on the top of the mountain is shining in the sun, and the ancient town complements each other. Any shot is a blockbuster. When the weather is good, the sun is on the body, warm, the snow-capped mountains in front of you, the stone road at the foot, at that moment, I feel that all my troubles have been thrown out of the clouds. National customs: deep experience of non-legacy culture In the ancient town of Baisha, there are many non-legacy cultural heritage points. I went to experience the East Bazaar dyeing, and dyed a colorful cloth with my own hands. I felt full of accomplishment and deeply felt the charm of the traditional skills of the Naxi people. There is also bronze making, the masters' focus on the look and skill of the way, people admire. There is also exquisite embroidery, every needle and thread tell the story of the Naxi people. By the way, you must not miss the white sand murals, although the scale is not large, but each picture is lifelike, containing a deep cultural connotation, really is the treasure of Naxi art. Business atmosphere: just the right atmosphere of life compared with other popular ancient towns, Baisha ancient towns are just the right degree of commercialization. There are many interesting small shops on the street, with characteristic cafes and handicraft shops. There is no over-commercial noise and impetuousness, but there is still a strong atmosphere of life. I sat in a cafe for an afternoon, basking in the sun, drinking coffee, watching people coming and going outside, especially relaxed. The prices here are also very close to the people, don't worry about being slaughtered, it's really great! Food exploration: Naxi flavor on the tip of the tongue Food is also a highlight of Baisha Ancient Town. I tasted the chicken bean jelly powder of the net red grandmother, 5 yuan a bowl, the jelly is burnt and tender, the seasoning is hot and sour, and a spice called "mountain pepper" is added inside. It is slightly numb to the tip of the tongue, which is particularly enjoyable. There is also the rose steamed bun of the "Shantou Poet", which is oversized and the rose filling is sweet and not greasy. While eating steamed buns, while enjoying the scenery of the ancient town, it has a special taste. The casserole chicken is also very good, the chicken is tender and smooth, the potatoes are soft, and it is super satisfying to take a bite. Transportation guide: Convenient travel and easy arrival It is very convenient to come from Lijiang City. It takes about 20-30 minutes to take a taxi. The cost is about 30-50 yuan. You can also take the 6 bus. Although the time may be a little longer, you can Xin

    It honestly feels magical here — the flowers are so beautiful and colorful, like something out of a painting. There are cute alpacas wandering around, and even a little hobbit house that makes it feel like stepping into a fairytale. Such a peaceful and happy place to be.

    Many people debate whether the 80 yuan entrance fee is worth it. I think it really comes down to personal preference. Just keep a low profile, lower your expectations, and enjoy the atmosphere. The charm of the wilderness lies in its wild, unfinished, and imaginative artistry, not in the refined, polished amusement park feel. It may appear a little "shabby" or "desolate," but that's precisely its character. Enjoy the joy of exploration and discovery like a child, and immerse yourself in the unrestrained atmosphere rather than the pursuit of checking in every spot. Let go of your expectations of traditional attractions, wear comfortable shoes, bring your curiosity, and your camera, and explore this "wasteland utopia" filled with poetry, absurdity, and childlike innocence!
