Guide

Mu's Residence is located in the southern part of Lijiang's Dayan Ancient Town and served as the mansion for the successive Mu chieftains of Lijiang. This grand architectural complex was first built in the Yuan Dynasty, flourished in the Ming Dynasty, and integrates the architectural style of the Central Plains during the Ming Dynasty with the exquisite craftsmanship of the Naxi and Bai ethnic groups. It is hailed as the "Grand View Garden" of Lijiang Ancient Town's culture, enjoying the reputation of "the Forbidden City in the North, Mu's Residence in the South."
Visitors strolling through Mu's Residence can sequentially visit iconic buildings such as the magnificent Deliberation Hall, the Wan Juan Lou (Ten Thousand Scrolls Tower) with its rich collection of books, and the Dharma Protector Hall, deeply experiencing the profound cultural heritage of the Naxi people, who are known for their "knowledge of poetry and books, and adherence to etiquette and righteousness." Amidst the time-worn carved beams and painted rafters, listening to professional explanations can provide a better understanding of the rise and fall of this chieftain family in the southwestern frontier and the legendary stories behind "Mu Fu Feng Yun" (Mu's Residence Saga).
The climax of the tour is reaching Lion Mountain at the rear via the internal pathways of the residence. This is not only the highest point of the Mu's Residence scenic area but also an excellent vantage point to overlook the entire Lijiang Ancient Town and gaze at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the distance. Whether you are a deep-traveler seeking historical and cultural depth or a photography enthusiast wanting to capture ancient-style blockbusters, Mu's Residence is an indispensable spiritual landmark in your Lijiang journey.
The Lijiang Qianguqing (Eternal Love) Scenic Area is located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, approximately 6 kilometers from Lijiang Ancient Town. Built by Songcheng Performance with an investment of 1.2 billion yuan, it is Lijiang's most representative cultural performance landmark. The scenic area is themed around Lijiang's ethnic regional culture and includes multiple themed areas such as the Tea Horse Ancient Street, Nacuo Lake, Mosuo Village, and White Pagoda Square, making it a large-scale theme park integrating performances, sightseeing, and interactive experiences.
The large-scale song and dance drama "Lijiang Qianguqing" is the core performance of the scenic area, hailed as "a show that must be seen in a lifetime." The entire drama, through chapters such as "Naxi Creation Myth," "Lugu Lake Daughter Kingdom," "Caravan Legend," "Ancient Road, Modern Charm," and "Jade Dragon Third Kingdom," recreates Lijiang's millennium-long history and legends. It comprehensively utilizes elements like dance, acrobatics, martial arts, stage machinery, and panoramic special effects to provide audiences with a stunning audio-visual experience.
After visiting the Qianguqing Scenic Area, you can head to Mu's Residence in the core area of Lijiang Ancient Town to experience the "Encounter Mu's Residence" night tour project. The night tour takes the profound friendship between the great Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake and the last chieftain Mu Zeng as its main thread, connecting ancient buildings such as the Deliberation Hall, Wan Juan Lou, and Yuyin Lou. Combined with light and shadow shows, NPC situational performances, and Naxi folk songs and dances, it offers an immersive experience of the Mu chieftains' history of valuing culture and education and guarding the frontier.
