Naxi Ancient Music and Dance Show

Naxi ancient music is very valued and priceless, ranked among the top classic orchestral music in China. Here the word "ancient" contains three meanings-the music, the performers and the music instruments. Especially the performers, they are usually aged ones, as the music is so time-honored that young people sometimes have difficulties in playing it.

Where to see the show?

At present, there are two places for visitors to see the authentic Naxi music and dance show.


[Naxi Cincert Hall]

Naxi Concert Hall


Every night from 20:00 to 21:30 pm, there is a wonderful concert played in this hall, which is located at No.11 Jishan Valley, Xinyi Street of the Old Town. The melodious Naxi music is performed by a group of local senior musicians whose are more than 60 years old on average. Because annually one or two of these great musicians pass away, it is reported that the rare art is already on the brink of being lost. The other highlight of this concert is the brilliant running commentary of Xuan Ke in fluent English and Chinese. He has made a great contribution to the restoration of Naxi music.
Ticket: The charge ranges from CNY80 to CNY120 per person (approximately $10 to $15 US).
