Today we flew to Shanghai - and it seems almost impossible that it's only been five days since we first landed in China: it feels like two weeks ago. And as we started this whirlwind tour in Beijing, it's really exciting to end it in one of China's other very famous cities - Shanghai, a place that is glamorous, exotic, obscene, fast; home to tall buildings, fast transactions, huge fortunes, and (at least in James Bond films) international espionage.
In fact, by Chinese standards, the city doesn't seem so high-rise by the time you leave the airport. But that only makes the clusters of skyscrapers and tall modern buildings that make up the city centre even more remarkable.
We were supposed to have a relatively free afternoon before the evening concert, but our flight was so delayed from Zhuhai that there was no time for sightseeing. Instead, some of us headed out into the heat and humidity to do some very serious shopping at the tourist market near the hotel and to explore the nearby park. Here we saw this blind street musician playing a traditional Chinese stringed instrument for passers-by - a little glimpse of ancient Chinese history and culture (something we haven't really had the chance to experience on this tour).
But we will certainly return home impressed by the warmth and friendliness we felt from the Chinese people and their enthusiastic reactions to the varied (and, perhaps for them, quite challenging) selection of choral music we performed for them. Although we've only spent a few days here and have experienced only a small glimpse of the country, it's impossible to ignore the fact that China is one of the largest and most populous nations on the planet.
The VocalEnsemble has - as we knew - been in high spirits and generous in spirit throughout the demanding programme, despite the heat and humidity of this eventful trip. They are not only fantastic musicians, but also great ambassadors - not only for DR, but for Denmark as a whole and we should be very proud of them.
Tonight's concert was performed at Shanghai Oriental Arts Center - or SHOAC for short - another impressive and modern arts complex that includes a theatre and a concert hall.
Inside, we were pleased to see a large banner above the platform - there could be no doubt which choir would be performing tonight. And outside, as our concert approached, the crowd gathered. I was photographed in a selfie with a very excited Chinese woman. I don't know who she thought I was.
You probably won't be surprised - after the reception our other concerts have received - to read that this final performance was just as successful as the rest of the five concerts.
At the end, as the audience cheered and gave the VocalEnsemble a huge round of applause, we all felt a bit sad, because even though it's been a hard working week, this was our last night in China.
After the concert, we all needed some time to relax - so the whole choir hopped into taxis and headed straight to Cloud Nine - the amazing cocktail bar on the 87th floor of Shanghai's Hyatt Hotel. The view of the city's nightlife was stunning and was only made more dramatic by the colossal tropical storm outside with monsoon rains and huge lightning. But it was nice - finally - to have some time to relax together.
So on the last morning, we gathered outside the bus to begin the long journey back to Copenhagen and say goodbye to Francesca Yu - our Chinese tour leader - who has escorted us on our travels for the past seven days.
But we weren't quite done singing: We had one last performance and - 12 hours later - as SAS flight SK 988 began to approach Danish airspace, we entertained the other passengers with the final chorus of ”I Danmark er jeg født”.
What a great few days we've had! Hard work, lots of singing and a lot of travelling for the VocalEnsemble, but also an amazing experience both for us and - we hope - our new Chinese fans. I think we all feel that we would love to return one day.
