Traditional Chinese dining and Terracotta Warriors

The Grand Castle Hotel Xi’an, one of China’s most luxurious independent 5-star hotels, is offering an ‘Imperial Meeting Package’ incorporating traditional Chinese dining and a guided tour of the World Heritage-listed ‘Terracotta Warriors’.

Valid for groups of at least 20, the MICE package in China’s ancient capital is on offer until the end of 2009, priced at just RMB 1,888 per delegate for three days and two nights.

The Grand Castle Hotel, uniquely designed in the historic architectural style of the adjacent ancient City Wall which the hotel overlooks, is newly re-opened following an extensive facelift and re-branding.

The ‘Imperial Meeting Package’ features Deluxe Room accommodation for two nights with daily breakfast buffet for double occupancy, or a single supplement at an extra RMB 800 for two nights.

All meals are also included. Lunches over the two days include one ‘local cuisine’ buffet of provincial delicacies and an international buffet.

Evenings feature a spectacular ‘Empress Dinner’ with live Chinese folk music, opera and dance band in a private dining room, followed by a ‘Dumpling Dinner’, a famous local specialty.

Meeting rooms are provided for up to three half-days, including wireless internet, LCD projector and microphones. Coffee breaks include one Chinese-themed, featuring traditional local dim sum, famed Zi Yang green tea and coffee, and demonstrations of paper cutting or calligraphy.

The half-day sightseeing tour to the world famous ‘Terracotta Warriors’ includes entrance fee, guide and transportation, with alternative cultural, culinary or sightseeing tours tailored on request.

Delegates also depart with a personal souvenir – a Chinese seal engraved with their own names in Chinese characters.
