Lijiang Nightlife
Naxi Ancient Music and Dance Show
Bars
A large number of bars, which are decorated in different styles, are another highlight of Lijiang. Xinhua Street lying on the tranquilly flowing water in the Old Town is a street famous for its local bars. Every night, many travelers from around the world get together here, communicating their romantic experience with each other or just involving themselves in the fascinating night scenery. It is worth mentioning that some bars in Lijiang are owned or operated by westerners who have become deeply fond of this city. Additionally, escaping from the reinforced concrete buildings in the cities, most of the bars here are two-storied wooden constructions. In a word, the nightlife of Lijiang is as rich and varied as your expectation.
Le Petit Paris
It is one of the most popular bars for visitors. The romantic love story of its host from France and his Chinese wife has been going round for a long time.
