Taiwan pop star Jay Chou rocked a concert at Beijing's Worker's Stadium on Thursday, attracting many thrilled fans.

Chou gave a 3-hour performance, singing many of his popular songs, as well as Peking opera.

Chou showed off his array of talents by playing the piano, Chinese zither, and street dancing. The atmosphere reached a climax as nearly 80,000 people, led by Chou from the stage, joined in on a physical exercise called "Cheer Olympics Exercise."

Chou's best friend, singer Will Lau, and pop band Nan Quan Mama added to the performance as guest performers.

Chou said he had felt a bit nervous before the concert, but he was completely moved by the enthusiasm from the crowd, and hopes hold another concert here next year.
