Later, He Jie played a piano solo, The Yellow River, and other classic pieces on the top of the Three Gorges. He Jie was born in Fengjie County, Chongqing. He feels proud to perform in his hometown. It is an extraordinary experience for him. At a gateway to the Three Gorges, Fengjie is known as the "City of Poems" as numerous renowned poets created masterpieces in the county. On the top of the Three Gorges, the female solo Dream in Colorful Clouds depicts the beauty of nature, culture, and the four seasons of the Three Gorges, while the male solo Departing from Baidi City in the Morning displays the long history of Fengjie and the beauty of the poem of the same name.

Dagu Glacier is an oceanic glacier in the northernmost latitude of China. It is a garden of glacial relics, with growing glaciers in infancy, the nearest glacier to the metropolis, and the most accessible modern oceanic glacier. Besides, it is the youngest of all glaciers that are more than 100 million years old, with the lowest altitude and the largest area in the world. It is also known as "Minor Switzerland in West Sichuan," which has attracted many young tourists. Through the male solo Freeze Over, the audience could feel the natural and cultural charm of Dagu Glacier and its beauty in different seasons.

Artists from the two places perform one after another

An unusual concert was staged on the top of the Three Gorges, 1,388 meters above sea level. The piano was carried up the hill by ten people.
