Earlier this week, Taiwanese pop singer Rene Liu visited Shanghai to promote her upcoming national tour that starts in Shanghai on March 1.
Liu chose Shanghai as the first stop because "Shanghai audiences are especially kind so I could get flattered here before going anywhere else."
Liu often sings about the emotions and struggles of modern young women.
She first gained fame as an actress and has played roles in films, dramas and TV series.

Liu's concerts are always more like a musical drama with featured themes. Her last concert two years ago featured the "lonely night of a single princess."
This time, her national tour is themed "sleepwalking" because she wants to take all her fans on an escape from the stresses and noise of reality to a land of dreams in her concert.
The 38-year-old singer and actress is still single and is often asked about her private life. Liu said that she enjoyed her present status.
After her tour she is to enjoy a six-month break.
