After a long break due to the pandemic, the nation's performing arts market is recovering. Data from online platform Damai show that tickets for more than 1,000 live music performances are on sale.

Tickets for pop singer-songwriter Li Ronghao's concerts in Nanjing on March 25, Wuhan on April 1, and Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province, on April 22, sold out within minutes.

"The tickets for these three stops, involving a total of 80,000 people, sold out," Li said on his Sina Weibo account on Feb 21, expressing gratitude to his fans.

Singer-songwriter Xiaojuan and her band Xiaojuan and Residents from the Valley are due to tour the country next month and in May, visiting 12 cities, including Chongqing, Changsha, capital of Hunan province, and Zhuhai, Guangdong.

Xiaojuan said: "We tried to connect with our fans by giving online performances when we couldn't tour due to the pandemic. Now, we are very happy to return to theaters to perform for our audiences."

On Feb 23, Jay Chou announced he would perform at three concerts in Haikou from June 30 to July 2. Although tickets have yet to go on sale, fans from around the country have started booking flights and hotels.

Data from travel portal Qunar show that from 6 pm on Feb 23 to noon on Feb 24, searches for flights to Haikou almost doubled on the platform, while those for hotel rooms in the city rose twofold.
