Commented Doro: "The gigs were just awesome. The fans really partied out during the shows. I would not have expected them to be that much into metal and my music, especially as these were my first shows in China."
A short fan-filmed video clip of Doro performing "I Rule The Ruins" in Beijing can be viewed below.
