Tickets and booking
Tickets are sold in four adult tiers that hold year-round: B2 VIP seats at 238 RMB, B1 VIP seats at 368 RMB, A2 Presidential seats at 628 RMB and A1 Presidential seats at 828 RMB, alongside a child ticket at 118 RMB. The venue treats these as reference prices and its same-day disclosures as authoritative, so check the venue’s same-day disclosure before paying. The box office line is 0773-8818008, the same number to use for show times, since public holidays and the summer season can add two or three extra performances a day. Those peak dates are when securing a seat in advance matters most.
Entrance and routes
The venue is the Li River Landscape Theatre at No. 1 Tianyuan Road, Yangshuo County, Guilin, Guangxi. The standard approach is Yangshuo bus 809 to the Meteorological Bureau stop, from which the theatre is reachable on foot. Because performances fall within the 18:30-21:00 window, arrivals cluster in the early evening, and travellers are best served reaching the stop with time to spare before the day’s first show. For anything beyond that route, the box office on 0773-8818008 is the reliable source for directions.
Photo spots
The performance itself is the photographic draw, staged at a theatre whose name puts the Li River landscape into its title. Shows sit inside the 18:30-21:00 window, so the light is evening light rather than daytime river scenery. Seat tier is the main variable travellers can control, with published prices running from B2 VIP at 238 RMB up to A1 Presidential at 828 RMB; the venue can advise on what each tier overlooks. Any restrictions on photography during the show should be confirmed with the box office on 0773-8818008 before planning shots.
Timing and crowds
The base schedule runs daily all year, with performances inside the 18:30-21:00 window. Public holidays and the summer season are the peak periods, when the venue may add two or three extra shows a day; exact times for any given date are set by same-day announcements, so travellers consistently check the schedule before setting out. With a suggested duration of one to three hours, the show fills an evening without consuming the day, and arriving ahead of the first performance leaves time to settle in. The box office on 0773-8818008 confirms final timings.
Walking and effort
This is a seated evening performance rather than a walking sight, so the physical effort is minimal. The only walking most travellers do is the stretch from the Meteorological Bureau bus stop to the theatre after arriving on Yangshuo bus 809. Of the suggested one to three hours on site, nearly all of it is spent seated watching the show, which makes the evening an easy one for travellers of any fitness level.
Getting there
The documented public transport option is Yangshuo bus 809 to the Meteorological Bureau stop, after which the theatre is reachable on foot. The venue sits at No. 1 Tianyuan Road in Yangshuo County, under Guilin’s administration, so the journey from Yangshuo is a single bus ride plus a walk. No other transit options are published in the available details, and the box office on 0773-8818008 can advise on alternatives or directions.
Cost breakdown
The ticket is the principal expense, in four year-round adult tiers: B2 VIP at 238 RMB, B1 VIP at 368 RMB, A2 Presidential at 628 RMB and A1 Presidential at 828 RMB, with a child ticket at 118 RMB. These are reference prices, and the venue’s same-day disclosures take precedence. Reaching the theatre on Yangshuo bus 809 adds a bus fare, though that fare is not published in the available details. No other charges are listed, so the budget comes down to seat tier plus the ride there.
