　　風光綺麗的雲之南，生活著世代崇龍舞龍的花腰彝族。從小沒了阿媽，是趕馬幫的阿爸用馬奶養大的鳳美，有著花一樣的美麗，山一樣的野性。鳳美強行當上了舞龍隊的隊員，不久又擔當重任舞起了龍頭，並且屢屢衝破未婚夫阿龍陳舊的兵團龍抬式，讓姑娘們在個性縱情的宣泄中將龍舞得眼花繚亂。更讓阿龍難以容忍的是，鳳美的同寨同學，小鎮上開酒吧的小老闆阿聰，心中一直暗戀著鳳美，他開著一輛紅色的皮卡車，拉著鳳美及舞龍隊的女孩子們四處兜風，還當著阿龍的面與鳳美跳起了激情撩人的“煙盒舞”；甚至，還背地里拉著鳳美及12個姑娘去他的酒吧門前表演女子舞龍，為推銷啤酒做廣告。

　　阿龍氣急敗壞地將終身定情物“花腰帶”退還鳳美，鳳美絕望而去。阿龍沒有了心上人，也失去了姑娘們的尊重和信任，他感悟到了什麼是人生最重要的東西。酒醉後的他手持龍頭跳上屋頂，一連串眼花繚亂、驚心動魄的醉舞龍，讓眾人驚嘆不已，也讓鳳美重新認識了阿龍的男人氣概。

　　大賽開始了，鳳美帶領十二個姑娘將一條彩色的龍舞得天旋地轉，她們的青春迸發出耀眼的光芒……

　　Fengmei comes from the Hua Yao Yi minority tribe. She is as beautiful as flowers but as wild as mountains. Her fiance, Along, is a training coach of the village girls' dragon dance team and Fengmei yearns to become a member. Fengmei finally becomes the 'dragon head" to lead the dance. She is always full of ideas, and sometimes even drives Along mad. Along, in his fury, returns Fengmei's embroidered waist belt, as a gesture of breaking their engagement. Shocked and upset, Fengmei runs away. The heartbroken and drunk Along climbs up the roof top of his house and starts dancing the family dragon dance...

Colorful display of minority culture Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
"Hua Yoa Bride from Shangri-La" is filled with thrilling music, colorful costumes, exciting dances, an attractive cast, and creative cinematography. In short, it looks and sounds great and its depiction of the minority culture and lifestyle is interesting. It has a good premise: A 'wild child' young woman is betrothed to a traditional young man, but the local culture dictates that they must live apart during their three-year betrothal. The willful girl chafes at this arrangement, leading to sparks flying between the couple. Can this marriage be saved? This premise is set against the backdrop of the training of a team of women dragon dancers for a big competition, which offers many opportunities for great song and dance.

The film, unfortunately, has two failings. First, the story remains on quite a superficial level. The audience gets few glimpses into the hopes, dreams, fears, and motivations of the film's characters. Second, the director clearly encouraged a very broad acting style from his cast. We see lots of mugging, lots of overblown expressions, and very little subtlety in these performances. This is particularly disappointing in the case of lead actress Zhang Jing Chu, who displayed fine acting skills in "Peacock" and "Red River", but here is reduced to doing exaggerated schtick.

Despite these failings, "Hua Yoa Bride" provides a colorful and entertaining display and is well worth a look.
