LUXURY FOR AUDIENCE AND BUSINESS
Visitors to the Turandot performances at the Forbidden City were offered
all kinds of diversion - before the performance and during the intermissions,
many refreshment stands and bars will be available; afterwards, they
were able to join the artists for a gala dinner. The
venue - The People's Cultural Palace - is surrounded by a complex of
gardens and atmospheric palatial buildings featuring salons of various
sizes. We
recommended taking a leisurely stroll through the grounds, thus being
able to immerse oneself in this unique atmosphere before the performance.
The weather in September in Beijing is generally mild and dry. Small
bars located throughout the area and in some of the salons provide exclusive
refreshments. International
companies found this an ideal ambiance in which to entertain and extend
their contacts to their Chinese business partners. Some companies took
the opportunity of reserving individual salons or entire wings of the
palace as venues for private receptions and cocktails in which to welcome
their guests. After the final curtain fell, the main doors of the palace opened and those who reserved places for the gala dinner, were able to enjoy a banquet with some of the world's greatest artists, thus rounding off an unforgettable evening and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
