Japanese newspaper Saitama News, introduced the upcoming performances, saying that this is the world’s largest Chinese concert that will tour 29 cities and be appreciated by over 200,000 people. From seven performances in five cities at the inaugural NTDTV Global Gala four years ago, to this year's nearly 80 performances in 29 cities, the audience is expected to reach 150,000 to 200,000 people.

The report said that a total of more than 200 artists performing with gorgeous costumes, novel and simple traditional music, stage design and background coming from the ancient Chinese murals, fine clothes, dance performances originated from legends in the history of China. China's multi-cultural dance performances such as the Manchu dance, Mongolian dance, and traditional Tibetan dance shows, displayed the meaning and divine spirit of a truly original Chinese divine-inspired culture that the Chinese Communist Party has attempted to destroy, without success, during the Cultural Revolution.
