It was a good night for music lovers of all generations, as Chinese TV networks competed for viewership on Thursday to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
China Central Television spared no effort with its annual Mid-Autumn gala. This year, a visual and musical extravaganza was broadcast from Xi'an, featuring fan favorite singers and performers across different eras.
Veteran singer Mao A-min, who has rarely made any public appearance in recent years, reunited with her fans last night. Other stars to grace the stage also included Taiwan singer Qi Qin, super boyband TFBOYS, as well as popular mainland singers Han Lei and Zhang Jie.
CCTV 4 also put on a 4-hour event ahead of the show, giving an introduction to the Mid-Autumn Festival and how it is celebrated by the Chinese people both here in China and abroad.
Meanwhile, Hunan TV put on its own spectacular presentation to attract viewers on Mid-Autumn night.
Taiwan actress Zhao Yazhi helped to open the show, with a mesh-up performance of songs.
A stunning-looking Zhao picked music that included the theme song from the series "Legend of the White Snake", which made her a household name in China, as well as a cover of a Teresa Teng classic.
Singer Sun Nan helped to wrap up the show with his rendition of an 80's classic, bringing a sense of warm nostalgia.
Not to worry if you weren't able to catch the broadcasts live last night, as they are now available on demand on the official websites of these broadcasters.
