Chinese social media users showed their romantic colours with love songs making up five of the top-eight songs that netizens voted to sing in a novel karaoke session on the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge. The poll was the result of a WeChat and Weibo competition held during October and November 2015. The most popular songs voted for the BridgeClimb Sydney Karaoke in order of popularity were: 1. Manual of Youth by TF Boys; followed by Little Apple by Chopsticks Brothers; 3. Those Were the Days... by Jordan Chan; 4. Like You by G.E.M; 5. Jade Solid Gold by Leo Ku Kui Kei ; 6. In My Heart by Jacky Cheung; 7. Descendants of Dragon by Wang Leehom and 8. Love Me Don't Go by Chang Chen-yue.



No Stranger to Romance

Hosting love songs won't be the first time the historic bridge has been involved with romance. 25 weddings and an estimated 4,000 engagements have taken place on BridgeClimb Sydney's watch. To celebrate China's Valentine's Day this year, also known as Qixi Festival, a violinist performed a rendition of The Moon Represents My Heart at the Bridge summit, which had been decorated in red drapes.

"The Karaoke Climb is designed to enhance the BridgeClimb experience for Chinese climbers as part of the New Year festivities," says BridgeClimb CEO, Todd Coates.
