In the evening of 23-Aug, we were invited to a dinner at the Purple Jade Villa.
I was too lazy to bring my cameras, and again a big regret. The photos were taken with my phone.
The place is a playground for the rich and powerful in Beijing.
As our driver dropped us off at the wooden hut where we would have our dinner, the first thing we saw was a peacock roaming around in the surrounding lawn.
The kids had a great time chasing the peacock, geese and other birds kept at the ground.
We had a little walk around the compound, watching grandmums pushing little kiddies in strollers, young girls walking their dogs, and security guards in neat formation perhaps change shifts.
I was told that the Chinese Taipei Olympic team would be having a dinner party the same evening at the lake side house in the second picture.
Our party is having dinner in our own little wooden hut. What a perfect place to have a little drink and relax. A perfect ending to our Beijing Olympics trip.
Hasta la vista, Beijing.
