That evening, Singapore China Baijiu Pte Ltd also specially invited a well-known local bartender to freshly craft Guojiao 1573 baijiu cocktails for guests. Drawn by the beautifully designed cocktail booth and the uniquely flavoured baijiu cocktails, many guests stopped by to savour the drinks.
This charity singing competition attracted more than 30 contestants, who competed passionately and sang for love and charity. A series of classic Mandarin songs such as “Jiu’er,” “Legend,” and “In the Place Where Peach Blossoms Bloom” were performed, earning rounds of applause from judges, audiences, and enthusiastic supporters. After two hours of intense competition, contestant Chen Risheng moved both judges and audience with his performance of “Wandering Notes,” ultimately clinching the championship title.

The event fully showcased the unique charm of Chinese culture, enabling more overseas Chinese and Singaporean friends to understand Chinese baijiu—and fall in love with it.
