This outdoor show is another product by Zhang Yimou who had directed Impression of Liu Sanjie in Guilin.Combining 500 actors, 100 horses, a 360-degree open-air theatre stage at 10, 170 feet above sea level with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the back, the only word that comes to describe the music, choreography and magnificent outdoor setting is "incomparable".
All the actors of the Impression Lijiang Show are not professional actors. They are from 10 different ethnic groups. They are all local farmers from the 16 nearby villages. They bring people a spiritual shock with their pristine voice, hot sweater and the authentic dances with the heaven and earth.
