Every evening, a luxurious artistic feast is presented there. Beijing Opera, Chinese dancing, acrobatics and Chinese Kongfu integrated with the beautiful settings, pleasing music and spotlights and other modern stage arts will be a real shock of beauty and an unforgettable experience in China. Meanwhile, the delicious Beijing cuisine served in the theatre will make the evening more enjoyable. Beijing Garden Buffet Dinner with Local cuisine Buffet dinner with local cuisine at the beautiful grassland of BICC would be another suitable option. Every food-spot will be decorated in Chinese style and serving local food. Performances, such as Chinese folk music, traditional dancing and singing etc., will make the dinner more enjoyable.

Though an increasing number of highrise buildings have shot up in the ancient Chinese capital, Beijing is striving to avoid becoming another Tokyo, New York, or Hong Kong symbolizing economic growth and modernization. The inner city still maintains the structural pattern of the 14th century. The capital is steering a rapid course towards a unique metropolis ahead of the 2008 Olympics, which will combine modern skyscrapers with historical architecture, to distinguish itself from other cities of world fame with its glorious culture, architectural traditions and amazing wonders. Conclusion It is a great honor for Peking University to have the opportunity to put forward this bid to host CACGP & ICAC 2010. With the backing of China’s premiere educational institution in the political and cultural capital of one of the fastest growing economies of the world, we are confident that we can build and create an event that will be memorable for all involved.
