Taiwan singer celebrates career with tour of the mainland

Soon after Yoga Lin, 31, took his first steps to stardom by winning the first season of the One Million Star competition in 2007, a popular reality TV singing contest in Taiwan, he built up a fan base with his soulful voice as well as his ability to interpret classic Mandarin pop songs in his own style.

Now, he is marking 12 years in the music business with a world tour called Idol.

On Dec 29 and 30, Lin gave two shows at Taipei Arena, which kicked off the tour.
