"Celebrate the Chinese New Year" | Travel Back in Time at Lijiang Romance Park
The seasons change, the stars shift, and we walk through history. The snow-capped mountains remain, and the ancient city sings. Every year, tens of millions of people come here to find their own Shangri-La! It is not only a pilgrimage of the body, but also a call from the soul.
After six years, on New Year's Day in 2025, just before the Spring Festival, I came to Lijiang again, and once again came to Lijiang Romance Park for a spontaneous time-traveling trip to find the taste of the New Year in my memory, to find poetry and the distance, and to find surprises and laughter!
🌟Must-try activities:
✅"Lijiang Romance"
The core performance of Lijiang Romance Park, the large-scale song and dance show "Lijiang Romance," is known as a must-see performance in a lifetime. It is a visually stunning feast for the soul. From the prologue "Naxi Genesis" to "The Kingdom of Daughters," from "The Legend of the Horse Gang" to "The Ancient Road and the Present Wind," from "The Third Kingdom of Jade Dragon" to the epilogue "Finding Shangri-La," this large-scale song and dance performance combines elements of dance, acrobatics, martial arts, and stage machinery to take you through the snow-capped mountains and experience the thousand-year-old culture and history of Lijiang.
✅"Lijiang Love Song"
The tragic and heroic love story of a Tibetan boy, Abuda, and a Naxi girl, Gajimi, who are unable to be together due to various obstacles. It is not only a story of love and romance, but also a story of self-sacrifice for the sake of saving the people and for the loved ones to stay in the world.
✅New Year-themed performances
From the Horse Gang Square to the Cultural Square, from the Cultural Square to the Snow Mountain Beach, the New Year atmosphere is strong, and the wonderful performances here tug at people's heartstrings. From the interactive shows "New Year Flash Mob" and "New Year Ethnic Gala" to the "Intangible Cultural Heritage Nuo Mask Fish Lantern Parade" and the interactive "Beach Bonfire Dance" and "New Year Blessing Ceremony," they are all amazing and enjoyable.
✅Intangible Cultural Heritage Iron Fireworks
The iron flowers bloom in the sky, and the iron water decorates the sky with colorful smoke. Don't miss the grand finale performance of the intangible cultural heritage iron fireworks, which is the ultimate romance of the Chinese people. The 1600°C iron water is beaten into the sky, turning into fireworks that fill the sky and spread in the air. It is a symphony of heat waves, hammers, and pure talent, and it is the flame magic of China.
