Kylie Minogue has earned the nickname “pea princess” following her first ever performance in Beijing, China.

The Australian pop star wowed fans at the Beijing Workers' Gymnasium on Monday (December 1st).

The concert was only Minogue's second performance in the country, and formed part of her KylieX2008 tour.

"It's my first time ever here in Beijing and you've made me feel so welcome," Minogue told fans.

At one point, Minogue also attempted to thank the 6,000 capacity crowd in Chinese, saying: "I'm very happy today. Well, it's true.”

The singer's performance mixed classic tracks, including 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' and 'I Should Be So Lucky', with songs off her recent album, 'X'.
