《北京欢迎你》Beijing Welcomes You is a feature song for the 100-day countdown of the 2008 Summer Olympics held in Beijing, China. What made it truly special was its unprecedented scale: over 100 well-known artists from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other regions came together to perform it. The song blended traditional Chinese instruments like the guzheng and erhu with modern pop, symbolizing the fusion of China’s ancient heritage with its contemporary vibrancy. The uplifting melody and inclusive message made it an instant classic, frequently played during Olympic festivities. It remains one of the most iconic Chinese songs associated with national celebration and global friendship.
