This past weekend BDL Media, the primary investor for ChinaHospitalityNews.com, held a special appreciation party for Beijing clients to celebrate BDL Media's eighth year in China.

Guests were bussed from two spots in Beijing to the city's outskirts where they enjoyed a day of food, fun and races at the Beijing Jockey Club.

Paul Doyle, a managing partner with BDL Media, hosted the event. Guests included general managers from some of Beijing's top hotels, representatives from local media, and friends from some of BDL Media's oldest clients in China.

A special all-expense trip to Saipan was also raffled off to a lucky participant.

A webpage has been arranged to view some of the pictures of guests at the party. That page is available at http://www.chinahospitalitynews.com/bdlparty/
