Perry delighted the crowds with a playful set mixing new material and nine Billboard number ones bantering in Mandarin and going out into the audience for hugs. The energy was electric with fans and local media noting her warm stage presence and active engagement both during performances and across her Instagram where she posted Chinese style dresses and snapshots of local cuisine and scenes.
