Indie singer and song writer Liang Xiaoxue found himself fit comfortable in the music scene here. Started out in 2008, Liang is hailed as one of the best in China and has toured around the country. His stylish voice and songwriting certainly find some new fans at the event.

"Classical music and pop music, or folk music, can work really well together. You see I have a violinist in my band and I use sound of instruments like cello, piano in my album. It’s really nice to be part of this festival as my music reached some new listeners here," said Liang.

Pop diva Tsai Qin performs at the festival.

As darkness falls, the valley is soothed by the cool breeze, while the prime time of the festival has just begun. Soprano Hayley Westenra teamed up with China Broadcasting Film Symphony Orchestra, sharing her favorites with the audience including "I Dreamed a Dream", "Whisper in the Wind", "Bridge Over Trouble Water". The songbird’s beautiful voice enchanted the music enthusiasts.

I catched up with her backstage right after her performance. "'Bridge Over Trouble Water' is just one that I really love, so I put it in! It was wonderful! I love singing outdoors. Coming from New Zealand we have beautiful scenery too. So I kind of feel like home," Westenra told me.

The night was filled with nastalgia when pop diva Tsai Qin took to the stage. The veteran singer from Taiwan has been in the business for over three decades, with a multitude of classic numbers under her belt. And the audience are not disappointed as Tsai Qin spin hit after hit.

As pop, country singers share the stage with Beijing Wind Orhcestra and the China Broadcasting Film Symphony Orchestra, the two-day festival has seen a harmony of difference.
