On July 25, Chen Chusheng’s 2026 “Wasteland of Wonders” Tour concluded its Sanya stop at Sanya Sports Center Bailu Stadium. As one of the most meaningful stops of the tour, the concert marked the first time in Chen’s 19-year career that he brought his own large-scale stadium tour back to his hometown of Sanya.<\/p>\n

On his birthday, Chen shared the stage with 41,000 audience members for a special night centered around music, growth and reunion. Nineteen years after leaving Sanya at the age of 19, he returned with his own stage and completed a long-awaited connection with the city where his journey began.<\/p>\n

Returning to Where the Story Began: Sanya Stop Delivers Exclusive Moments<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a uniquely designed stop of the “Wasteland of Wonders” Tour, the Sanya concert featured a series of exclusive stage and musical elements created specifically for this hometown show.<\/p>\n

The concert introduced an extended horizontal stage platform that reached further toward the audience, allowing Chen to interact more closely with fans throughout the performance. New stage effects, including water cannons and flame machines, were also incorporated into the production. The combination of water, fire, lighting and sound created a more immersive visual experience for the audience.<\/p>\n

“Luhuitou” was performed as the opening segment of the concert and marked the song’s first-ever live performance. Originally inspired by a Hainan folk legend, the song carried a special significance as Chen performed a song rooted in his hometown in the very place where the story originated.<\/p>\n

The birthday concert also brought a series of exclusive surprises. Four guests — Francis Ng, Alan Aruna, Mars Radio’s Huang Shaofeng and Zeng Yu — made special appearances throughout the night, joining the audience in celebrating Chen’s birthday through different segments of the show.<\/p>\n

The newly designed “Wasteland of Wonders 0725” boat float and birthday-themed float appeared during the performance, with Chen riding the boat float around the stadium and interacting with fans at close range. During the unplugged segment, Chen revisited songs from his 2007 Super Boy era, including “Hometown,” “Confession,” “The Original Me” and “Daddy’s Straw Shoes.” The familiar melodies brought the audience back 19 years, reconnecting memories from different chapters of his musical journey.<\/p>\n

With additional songs, interactive moments and exclusive content, the concert lasted more than four hours, becoming a one-of-a-kind musical night created specifically for Sanya.<\/p>\n

A Celebration of Care and Connection Between Chen and His Fans<\/strong><\/p>\n

The birthday concert became a heartfelt exchange between Chen Chusheng and his fans. On the day of the show, 41,000 exclusive birthday gift packages prepared specifically for the Sanya concert were placed on every seat at Bailu Stadium, ensuring that every audience member received one.<\/p>\n

The packages included Hainan specialties such as coconut juice, coconut rolls and toffees, along with birthday banners, message cards and interactive items designed for the concert. Each audience member was able to take home a personal memory from Sanya.<\/p>\n

Throughout the show, Chen also prepared three rounds of surprise giveaways, including exclusive gifts, cash prizes, Pocket 3 devices and iPads. On a night celebrating his own birthday, Chen continued to share surprises with the audience, creating a memorable moment of connection and appreciation between the artist and his fans.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sanya welcomed Chen’s return through a city-wide celebration spanning land, sea and sky. One day before the concert, a drone light show illuminated the sky above Phoenix Island in Sanya, sending greetings and birthday wishes to Chen while transforming the night sky into a message of “welcome home.”<\/p>\n

Beyond the drone performance, themed sailing boats at sea, underwater support displays at Wuzhizhou Island, and special decorations across taxis, shopping malls and bus stops extended the city’s welcome throughout Sanya. Fans traveled to the city because of music, while experiencing the warmth and support of Chen’s hometown along the way.<\/p>\n

From the 41,000 voices singing together inside the stadium to the continued conversations across social media platforms, the Sanya concert maintained strong online momentum after the show.<\/p>\n

On Douyin, multiple concert-related topics entered the platform’s main trending charts, generating nearly 40 hours of combined trending exposure and reaching 140 million views. Related topics ranked No. 14 nationwide on Douyin’s trending chart and reached No. 1 on Sanya’s local trending chart.<\/p>\n

A Journey From Sanya to the World, Finally Returning Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the concert, Chen Chusheng reflected on the special night in a social media post.<\/p>\n

“When I left Sanya at 19, I believed that as long as I kept moving forward, I would discover more of the world. After traveling to many places with my music, I finally realized that the longest journey is often the one that leads from afar back to where you began.”<\/p>\n

Over the past 19 years, Chen has traveled through countless cities, meeting people and stories along the way. This time, he returned with his music and his own stage to the place where everything started, completing a promise about growth, music and coming home.<\/p>\n

The “Wasteland of Wonders” Tour has traveled across many cities, but the Sanya stop represented more than another performance. It was a reunion with his hometown and a reflection of his own journey.<\/p>\n

The roads he once took step by step toward the world eventually brought him back to where he started, allowing everyone who had walked alongside him to witness this long-awaited return.<\/p>\n

On this night, Sanya became the place where Chen Chusheng’s story of departure, distance and return finally found its answer through music.<\/p>\n
