The Impressions Light Show in YangshuoThe premiere of the Yangshuo Light Show was on March 20th, 2004 at the Sanjie Liu Sing fair, about a mile from West Street . The performance utilizes the natural surroundings to create a spectacular outdoor theatre which is the largest of its kind. The Li River itself is the stage and twelve mountains serve as the backdrop.
The show was directed by Zhang Yimou who also directed the famous 2002 movie 'Hero.' It has received many awards and is included within most tours of the area.
The show gives us impressions of the life of those people living around the river. It also gives us an insight into the dress and music of the ethnic minorities of the area.
