Impression Sanjie Liu - A Natural Backdrop Live-show

Impression Sanjie Liu is one of China's best known outdoor night performances, whose stage is set by the picturesque Li River, above a water area of 1.625 square kilometers (0.627 sq miles) with 12 hills nearby. These natural elements contribute a lot to the visual and sound effects. 

More than 600 actors participate in the show, bringing many wonderful and fascinating programs to the audience, including classical folk songs, ethnic minority dances, interesting fishermen's culture, and fantastic light shows. These programs reflect the harmonious coexistence of human beings and nature from various perspectives.

The whole performance is composed of 7 scenes, consisting of the Prelude, Red Impression, Green Impression, Golden Impression, Blue Impression, Silver Impression and the Epilogue:

The Prelude mainly shows the legendary scenery of the Li River;

In the first chapter, fishermen are singing folk songs while rowing the bamboo crafts. Red lights are used to show the fishermen's passion and enthusiasm;

The second one shows the peaceful daily life of the Zhuang ethnic minority with the background of green hills and water, which represents vitality;

The third chapter is distinguished by the golden fish lights showing the audience how the locals live on fishing;

The fourth scene features love songs with a crescent-shaped boat as a core backdrop;

The last chapter is the "Wonder of Lijiang Culture" presenting folk celebrations of the Zhuang ethnic minority;

In the Epilogue, the fishing rafts are sliding farther away from the audience; the gorgeous lights are gradually dimmed and faded, but the beautiful songs are still echoing in the mountains and the ears of the audience.
