🎭 Concerts and Shows in Lijiang

The world-famous Lijiang Naxi Ancient Music Orchestra performs centuries-old melodies that predate the Ming dynasty. Performed nightly in the old town — UNESCO-listed and considered one of China's most precious musical traditions. Book through your guide.

Staged at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, this spectacular open-air performance involves hundreds of local Naxi and Yi performers. One of China's most impressive cultural shows. Usually performed March–November weather permitting.

The old town's bar street has live music venues every night — local bands, indie musicians, and traveling artists. Intimate settings with CNY 20-50 cover charge.

Daily performances of traditional Naxi music by heritage musicians — including the ancient Dongba ritual music passed down through generations. Afternoon and evening shows available.

Held annually (usually September), this festival brings together minority song and dance troupes from across Yunnan and Southwest China. Multi-day event with performances across the old town.
