Our Saturday morning started with a performance, Impression Lijiang, at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
The clear blue sky & the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain provided an excellent backdrop for the performace, another masterpiece of Zhang Yimou. It showcased the traditions of Naxi, Yi and Bai peoples of the area through music & dance.
Despite the grandeur of the stage, Lin & I felt the Impression on Westlake, Hangzhou wins in terms of overall experience from its storyline, music & dance.
Mr Wang said Impression Lijiang was a mass workout. We didn't know what he meant initially, now we know. :)))
That aside, we were freezing from the cold... *.* Our fingers were numb at the end of the performance. Thank goodness we managed to capture some good shots! ;)
Following are some snipets of the performance.
Us all bundled up. :D
These men standing on horses were just so cool. If only we could do that! Well, we would be contented as long as we could ride the horse confidently. :)))
Colourful Naxi costumes. :)
Drummers!
Over 500 cast
Ending ritual...
which some audience participated in.
And with this visual treat, we ended our Lijiang expedition. :) We now got to travel 8 hours back to Kunming...see you!
