The third season of the Chinese reality talent show The Voice of China premiered on 18 July 2014 on Zhejiang Television. Hu Qiaohua returned as host. Na Ying and Wang Feng returned as coaches. A-mei and Harlem Yu did not return for season three, making room for the return of Yang Kun after a one-season absence, and an addition of a new coach, Chyi Chin. On 7 October 2014, Zhang Bichen of Team Na Ying was announced as the winner of the season, with Perhat Khaliq of Team Wang Feng as runner-up, Yu Feng of Team Yang Kun in third place, and Qin Yuzi of Team Chyi Chin in fourth place.
This year's Blind Auditions were filmed outside Shanghai, where the two previous seasons were recorded. The number of members on each coach's team was increased to 16 from 14 in previous seasons. In addition, the "Steal" option introduced in Season 2 was removed from the Battle Rounds format.
One major change this year is that the show also allowed entries from street auditions in more than 100 cities in China. Several entries from street auditions passed through pre-show eliminations and made their way to the Blind Auditions.
Notes: Originally there were 16 contestants in Yang Kun's group, but Aisin-Gioro Mei was refused and her performance was not broadcast in the show, because she is only 14 years old; therefore the vacant position was decided to be given to Liang Dongjiang. Also, after the revival round, Chyi Chin's still had one vacant position left. So, after discussion by the four coaches and directors, they decided to have an Overtime Round, in which those who were unsuccessful in the revival round got a chance to sing for Chyi Chin and he would decide if he wanted the contestant to join his team. The order of the performances was decided randomly.
Coaches began narrowing down the playing field by training the contestants with the help of a "Dream Coach" ("Trusted Advisor" in all versions in English-speaking countries). Each episode features pairings from within a coach's team, and each battle concludes with the respective coach reducing his or her team from 16 to the top 4.
