Location & How to Get There

Lijiang Eternal Romance Scenic Area sits at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang, Yunnan Province. The address is No. 88 Yuxing West Road, Huangshan Town, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County. To reach here, fly into Lijiang Sanyi Airport, then take a 40-minute taxi or bus. If you’re coming from downtown Lijiang, a 20-minute ride gets you to this cultural hub.

Natural Scenery: A Blend of Magic and Relaxation

The scenic area wraps you in stunning nature. Nacuo Lake (那措海) looks like a fairyland—clear blue water, flower-lined shores, and willow trees swaying in the breeze. Nearby, Snow Mountain Beach (雪山沙滩) lets you lounge on sand with snow-capped peaks behind you. You can even hang out with yaks, doing nothing but soaking in the views. For something wilder, check out the volcano show during Lijiang Love Song—fiery flames shoot 10 meters high, paired with Tibetan dancers climbing rocks and stirring up “waves.” It’s drama meets nature!

Cultural Highlights: Ancient Streets and Living History

Step into Tea Horse Ancient Street (茶马古街), a bustling market that feels like old Lijiang. Wooden towers loom overhead, horse bells jingle, and stalls sell everything from Tibetan tea to hand-dyed fabrics. Watch craftspeople at work: making paper the Naxi way, hammering copper tools, or brewing local liquor. In the Ethnic Villages, you’ll meet Naxi, Tibetan, and Yi communities. Try traditional dancing, listen to folk songs, or watch a puppet show—it’s like a mini UNESCO heritage fair.

Must-See Shows: From Love Stories to Earthquakes

The heart of the park is its performances. Lijiang Eternal Romance (the main show) is a jaw-dropper. It’s not just a play—it’s a time-travel adventure. You’ll see ancient Lijiang, a Morso love story by Lugu Lake, and even a tragic romance on “the third kingdom of Yulong.” Expect fireballs, floods, and actors flying through the air. For tearjerkers, Lijiang Love Song tells a Tibetan man’s impossible love for a Naxi girl. The volcano stunts, acrobatic dances, and emotional storytelling make it unforgettable.

For something raw, Earthquake (大地震) uses shaking floors, crashing buildings, and real-life stories to honor disaster resilience. It’s intense but powerful. Smaller shows like Mufu Bride Auction (comedy!), Tibetan Yak Chilling (yes, just watching yaks “do nothing”), and street flash mobs add laughs and local flavor.

Food, Shops, and Relaxation

After exploring, grab snacks along the streets—think grilled cheese, yak yogurt, or Naxi rice cakes. Sit by the lake with a drink or browse shops selling textiles, teas, and handmade crafts. If you’re tired, there are cozy teahouses or spots to rent ethnic costumes for photos.

Why Visit? A Dose of Fantasy and Reality

Lijiang Eternal Romance isn’t just a park—it’s a portal to Yunnan’s soul. You get雪山 (snow mountains), ancient trade vibes, and stories that’ll make your heart race. Whether you’re watching a volcano “erupt,” dancing with locals, or just staring at Nacuo Lake, it’s a day of magic and authenticity. Come for the shows, stay for the stories—and maybe find your own “Shangri-La” here.
