Alan Tam Taiyuan Concert Ultimate Guide

Finally, the classic Legendary Tour Concert of Alan Tam is coming to Taiyuan! As the "Principal" of the Chinese music scene, he has created countless classics over a half-century music career. This time in Taiyuan, it will surely be another music carnival with tens of thousands singing together 🎉 Here is a super detailed guide I have prepared for everyone. Let’s head to this musical feast together! 1. Event Information 📅 Date & Time: October 18, 2025 (Saturday) 19:30 📍 Venue: Shanxi Sports Center Stadium (No. 1 Jiankang South Street, Jinyuan District, Taiyuan) 💰 Ticket Prices: Stands 280 RMB / 380 RMB / 480 RMB, Floor 680 RMB / 780 RMB 2. Ticket Purchase Guide 1. Ticket Platforms: Fenwan Island (priority purchase), Damai, Maoyan. 2. Ticket Sale Time: Fenwan Island priority purchase starts at 13:18 on August 11; Damai and Maoyan official presale starts at 13:18 on August 12. 3. Tips for Buying Tickets: Register your account on the ticket platforms in advance, bind your real-name information, set your delivery address, and open the platform 10 minutes before the sale to wait. Refresh on time to grab tickets as soon as sales start. If you miss the first wave, don’t give up—there may be ticket returns later, so keep refreshing for surprises! Also, a small number of standing tickets might be released for each show. If you want to be closer to the stage, it’s worth trying. 3. Transportation 1. Subway: Take Taiyuan Metro Line 2 to "Jiankang South Street Station" Exit B, then walk about 8 minutes to the stadium. Subway travel avoids traffic jams and is the most recommended way. 2. Bus: Take bus lines 76, 310, 804, and more than ten other routes to "Shanxi Sports Center" stop. Check bus operation times to avoid delays. 3. Driving: Navigate to "Shanxi Sports Center Stadium." The stadium parking lot has about 2,000 spaces, but there will be many vehicles on concert day. It’s recommended to arrive early to avoid parking difficulties. If the parking lot is full, there are some paid parking lots nearby. 4. Taxi: Many people will take taxis after the show, so there may be queues. You can order a taxi in advance via apps or walk a bit farther to increase your chances of getting a ride. 4. Nearby Food 1. Snacks & Fast Food: There are many snack stalls near the stadium offering grilled skewers, stinky tofu, jianbing (Chinese crepes), and more—perfect for a quick bite before the show. There are also fast-food chains like KFC and McDonald’s for convenience. 2. Shanxi Specialty Cuisine: To taste authentic Shanxi flavors, try knife-cut noodles, fried pork, and tou nao (a local specialty). Recommended restaurants include "Ren Yi Li," famous for steamed dumplings and tou nao, and "Old Taiyuan Restaurant," where you can enjoy various traditional Jin dishes. 3. Desserts & Milk Tea: After shopping or walking around, enjoy some desserts or milk tea. Tea shops like "Heytea" and "Naixue’s Tea" offer great drinks; "Holiland" desserts are also worth trying, with rich flavors and beautiful presentation. 5. Accommodation Suggestions 1. Hotels Near the Stadium: Such as Shanxi International Trade Hotel and Taiyuan Intercontinental Hotel, which are close to the stadium. You can walk or take a short taxi ride, making it easy to rest quickly after the concert, though prices are relatively high. 2. Hotels Along the Metro Line: Choose hotels along Metro Line 2 for convenient transportation and more affordable prices. For example, staying near Changfeng Street allows you to explore shopping malls and experience Taiyuan’s nightlife. Book early to avoid price hikes or full bookings near the concert date. 6. Concert Attendance Tips 1. Entry Time: Ticket checking and entry start at 17:30 and end at 21:00. It’s recommended to arrive 1-2 hours early to allow enough time for security checks, finding your seat, and browsing nearby fan support stalls. 2. Prohibited Items: Due to security and copyright reasons, food, drinks (some venues allow unopened bottled water), professional recording equipment, lighters, and similar items are prohibited. Please follow on-site announcements. 3. Seating & Fan Support: Staff will guide you to your seat according to your ticket number. For fan support, you can bring simple items like glow sticks but avoid large light boards to prevent disturbing other audience members. 4. Setlist Prediction: Although the final setlist will be confirmed on-site, based on previous shows, Alan Tam is very likely to perform classics like "Friends," "Love in Late Autumn," "Flowers in the Water," "Can't Say Goodbye," "Love Trap," and "The Love of a Lifetime." Let’s look forward to the powerful scene of thousands singing together! Everyone, are you ready to sing youth with Principal Tam? Remember to save this guide. See you in Taiyuan 🥳
