Wuhan Foreigner's Party

We were invited by our university to attend the Wuhan Foreigner's Party at the Wuhan Citizen's Home, which we posted about back in April.

This party consisted of two different parts. There was a very impressive exhibition of the city's future planning and development and after there was a show that was broadcasted live on one of the local TV stations. The show was put on by some of Wuhan's foreigners giving either their own or Chinese cultural performances.

Most of the exhibition was made up of small-scale representations of what the city should look like with all of their plans.  Some of these miniature cities were rather large. At the end of the exhibit we got to see the largest that was accompanied by a film as well. 

They were most definitely aiming to impress us and impress us they did.



 
These are some of the planned skyscrapers for the city. The taller one would be the tallest skyscraper in China at 666 meters (2185 feet).

 
This is the miniature of the famous Yellow Crane Tower that is an important landmark for the city.

 
 
This was the opening performance.
 

 
 
These were the hosts for the evening. Dressed in their Oscar gear.
 
 
Here's our group from the university. Yellow and some other's made their way on to TV too apparently.  The week after one of Red' students was asking if we attended this event and that they saw Yellow on TV. Yellow of course was thrilled and looks forward to finding some opportunities to develop an acting or modeling career. Hehe.
