Roadside Concerts Become a Hit in China’s Guiyang

 

GUIYANG, CHINA, Radarseluma.Disway.Id - During the past seven-day National Day holiday, roadside concerts under the wall of Wenchang Pavilion in Yunyan District, GUIYANG City of southwest CHINA's Guizhou Province, attracted numbers of tourists and residents to watch performances.

Different from regular concerts, roadside concerts in Guiyang, mainly performed by local bands and music enthusiasts, offered a stage for ordinary people to show themselves and attracted a lot of tourists and residents to watch performances on bustling streets and in tourist attractions.

 

 

Pakistani student Manha Abdellah, who currently studies clinical medicine at Guizhou Medical University, participated in a roadside concert and sang two songs, including a medley with other international students. Abdellah's Chinese song performance won applause and cheering from audiences.

 

Roadside concerts, accessible to everyone without any entry fee, provided a platform for non-professional performers to showcase their talents and for the audience to enjoy performances spontaneously, Abdellah said.

 

"The audience was very warm and enthusiastic, especially when I mentioned I was from Pakistan. They cheered loudly, reflecting the strong friendship between China and Pakistan," said Abdellah, adding that the audience's warm reception made the experience very enjoyable.

 

Abdellah was just one of the foreigners who performed on the stage of roadside concerts. Over the past year, many foreign students and music enthusiasts took part in performances at roadside concerts in Guiyang, which become an important platform for global exchanges.

 

Besides Yunyan District, other downtown areas have also been the birthplace of roadside concerts.
