Dinner and Dancing on the Great Wall

Tuesday night BF and I got an opportunity to meet up with a group of people from the Embassy House to go for dinner and dancing on the Great Wall. We were invited by a parent we met from AF's volleyball team. A few people from the Australian Embassy arranged the whole thing with Radisson Hotel catering the event.

We took a bus trip from the apartment to Ju Yong Guan section. The one hour trip was complete with champagne. For more information on this section of the Great Wall go to the following link: www.travelchinaguide.com/china_great_wall/scene/Beijing/juyongguan.htm.

We did not take our camera (darn). Here is a picture that I took back in February when a group of us went to this very steep section of the Great Wall. This time of the year it is very green and beautiful as opposed to this rather brown drab scenery. If you look just beyond the green flag in the picture, this is where the dinner and dancing took place.

The weather was spectacular. We think another event was happening higher up in the mountain and the entire wall section on both sides were all lit up. It was a beautiful sight.

Everyone was dressed up for the evening which was nice. The whole thing lasted from 5 until midnight. I was a little tired the next morning for work.
