    This restaurant is Korean owned and Chinese run! The staff all seemed fairly good at thier job and although thre were sme times when we were getting frustrated to not being served, I think we just put it down to the fact that Sakura is the biggest restaurant on the street and also the busiest. The menu was huge and really varied..Chinese, American, English, Korean....all reasonably priced. They had wonderful breakfasts, gorgeously juicy fresh squeezed juices, spicey noodles, Korean rice and vegetables pots, yummy meat lasagne..but dont take the broccoli lasagne as it is just broccoli..nothing else..no cheese inside or meat- really dry. Hhhmmm..what else was there....chicken kebabs with a red wine sauce, wonderful homemade pizzas at great prices..oh the list is endless...ans as you can see..we seemed to eat there quite often!!!! The plates were also huge so they kept you full for many hours!!!

    No dress code....Come here, buy some food, buy some drink and dance the night away....

    walk around and shop!
    by sugarpuff
    These shops open very early and close around 11pm, so you have no excuse to not have bought anything on your trip to Lijiang! I must say I walked up and down this street, which actually goes on and on and on for about an hours walk..its endless!!! I think I went into most of the shops two or three times during my time there as I kept thinking maybe I had missed something really worth buying!!! There are lots of beautiful batiks to buy there and several other local handicrafts, but you must bargain hard, as their prices here are tough.

    Frosty Morning: Great Pub lots of Hospitality

    • Philip and Hsiaoping Houston have put together an amazing and friendly pub just minutes walking distance from Lijiang’s Old Town. They have Chinese and Western food, Cold Beer & Glasses, Satellite Sports, and a Quality Pool Table. While all this is amazing, the best parts about the visit are the hospitality of Philip and Hsiaoping and their regular patrons AND, by far, the cleanest toilet in China. A highly enjoyable visit.

    One of the last surviving traditional orchestras in China, the Nachi Orchestra plays milenia old tunes dating back to the Han dinasty. It is truely a unique experience worth doing. Don't leave Lijiang without seeing them!

    Casual, unless otherwise noted on the admission ticket.

    When sun sets, red lanterns light. Girls and boys are preparing for "singing campaign". If you could, you would be welcom. The two level barrooms usually open all windows so that people inside may sing with others who in the opposite bank barrooms seperated by a small river. Local people dance around needfire at the Square Street on Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday each week. If you would like, you could dance following them, but they seem not like you inserting into their line. If you just want to watch or dream, sit and drink in a good seat. Going shopping or walking along the small river in a quiet street is also available.

    It's a little bit hard to choose which bar to go in LiJiang, because there are too many and all are cute. It's better to sit outside along the river to feel the breeze and listen to the flow of stream.

    anything as you like

    Classical Naxi Musical Concert: Dayan Classical Naxi Music Band performs here (Dongda Jie) every night at 8 pm. This band has performed in many parts of the world including Scandinavia, U.S. & Japan. A very different type of music, it takes a little time to get used to. Some of their music includes songs from the Tang & Song Dynasties! The musicians are almost as old as their songs as well (relative to lifespan ;-) ; most of them are over 70 & 80 years old! :)

    Dayan Naxi Ancient Music

    DAYAN NAXI ANCIENT MUSIC in LIJIANG: An orchestra formed mainly by musicians over 60 years of age & a few are in fact in the 80s-95 range. Formed to preserve the cultural heritage of the Naxi tribe, this Taoist ritual music can be hard to adjust to in the beginning. But one gets used to the rhythm with time & it's quite an interesting cultural experience! If you have the chance, try it.

    You'd also be surprised to find out that the orchestra has performed in many places out of China like the Scandinavia, U.K., Japan & U.S.A.

    Music Quote from 'Book of Music':
    'The beasts know only noises but not sounds; the common people know only sounds, but not music; it is only the gentlemen who are capable of knowing music. By examining the sounds, you will know the music, by examining the music, you will know the politics. Then you will know the way of government.'
