From October 2, 3, and 4, 2013, in Lijiang, Yunnan, at the World Art Village (formerly the Lijiang Yufeng Cement Factory), a grand music festival carnival—the Lijiang Tianyu Music Festival—will take place. At that time, outstanding artists from around the world and local talent will bring a musical feast for all music lovers. In Lijiang, a place filled with romantic and artistic vibes, and in Yunnan, a sacred land where multiple ethnicities blend, let us together experience the collision of music, culture, ethnicity, and scenery. Let us encounter the uniqueness of Lijiang and spark beautiful moments with the Lijiang Tianyu Music Festival.
Encounter music, encounter beauty
Lijiang is a magical and wonderful place. Here, hearts connect more closely between people; here, everything shows its most beautiful side; here, the air is filled with the scent of encounters. You may stumble upon a breathtaking view, or brush past a gentle lady; you might suddenly hear a lovely song, or catch a glimpse of your own beautiful reflection when you turn around. In Lijiang, you will encounter all that is beautiful, and you will also hear the most authentic ethnic music. The Lijiang Tianyu Music Festival blends all of this, showcasing the fusion of modern and ethnic music in a postmodern factory with the strongest visual impact. Such an encounter is beautiful and is sure to be unforgettable. At this music festival, singers and artists from Yunnan will move you with the passion and charm of their ethnicities, letting you see and hear the best in world music, the most primal dances, and the most exhilarating performances. The sounds from the heavens—Naxi, Tibetan, and others—will surely move you to tears. Dongba dances will spring to life, Guozhuang dances will spin, and such beauty is waiting just for you.
A music festival for mountain adventures, water fun, and gourmet feasts
This Lijiang Tianyu Music Festival will collaborate with numerous travel websites such as Lvmm.com and Uzai Travel Network to provide you—our visitors from afar—with comprehensive information on flight discounts, accommodation, travel guides, and even limited-time ticket discounts. No matter where you are in the world, getting here is easy, and a convenient ticketing system ensures you can easily obtain entry tickets to the music festival. Moreover, the festival will also partner with the Lijiang Edition of Yunnan Information Daily to bring you the most detailed travel guides and to select Lijiang’s top 10 hostels, 10 bars, and 10 restaurants, giving all music festival attendees plenty of suitable choices. Not only will you enjoy the music festival visually, but you’ll also have a comfortable and fun time exploring.
Folk music lineup led by Lijiang Xiaojian
This Lijiang Tianyu Music Festival has attracted many domestic and international celebrities, but in the uniquely distinctive city of Lijiang, the voice of Lijiang itself cannot be overlooked. Lijiang Xiaojian, who stood out from "The Voice of China," is one of the highlights of this music festival. Her clean, gentle voice and soothing, heartwarming singing style have long echoed through the alleys of the ancient town of Lijiang. Such a delicate, sweet girl touches the softest parts of everyone's heart with her most moving music. What kind of wonders will Xiaojian bring to this music festival? In this place full of deep emotion, joy, and sorrow, what touching songs will she sing? We look forward to it, quietly listening.
The strongest visuals recreate miracles
Yang Qian, the overall video production director for top domestic events such as Olympic opening ceremonies, Expo opening ceremonies, and the 60th National Day celebrations, along with his colleagues from Shanwen Yinghua Visual Studio, has begun the creative design work for the massive three-dimensional architectural projection videos after nearly three full days of site inspection, dimension measurement, and nighttime brightness assessment. At that time, on the original cement factory building—nearly seven stories high—next to the stage, in addition to complementing the stage performances with the most stunning three-dimensional projection visual art, there will also be dedicated sessions for standalone three-dimensional projection video shows each evening. Its breathtaking visual effects are sure to recreate miracles.
The Lijiang Tianyu Music Festival is destined to be a magical encounter, where you will encounter beauty, encounter music, and create a grand music festival carnival in Lijiang. Beautiful songs, breathtaking scenery, and heartfelt performers—we’ll all come together at the Lijiang Tianyu Music Festival to witness a most beautiful promise.
