This is a major production with a cast of 500 singers, dancers, bamboo boats and cormorants. In addition, the stand out performer is definitely the background scenery. The lighting of the karst peaks is truly amazing. The show was designed and directed by Zhang Yimao, who has been awarded to task of directing the opening ceremony at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The performance is based on a Chinese musical movie made in 1961.

Very good night photography.
