BEIJING, April 7 -- Asian pop diva Coco Lee has kicked off her comeback world tour at the Taipei Arena.

The music diva presented over 40 timeless classics in both English and Chinese.

Billed as East to West, the concert saw 13 costume changes, with Lee dressed as Barbie, Cleopatra, Hua Mulan and imperial concubine Yang Guifei from the Tang Dynasty.

Vibrant dancing, state-of-the-art lighting and 3-D LED screens also transformed the stage into a romantic Garden of Eden.

Known for her melismatic vocals, sexy figure and vibrant dancing, Lee is the only Chinese artist to have performed at the Oscars, singing "A Love Before Time" from the Academy Award-winning movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 2001.

Since her last album release in 2006, Lee has faded from public attention following her reported disputes with former record label Sony Music.

Lee made a comeback last year with the album "East to West" and her concert tour will take her all over China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Chengdu, as well as Malaysia, Australia, Canada and the United States.
