The weekend trip to Tongren and Ghuiyang - part 5

After freshening up at the hotel, we wentto the concert.  It was only 15 minutes walk away.  It was really quite unusual and very nice.  As usual Meng was really god company, a very easy going young lady!  The music was strings and piano with come interesting catoons playingon a big screen behind the musicians.

Then back to the hotel and a long chat in the reception of the hotel.  It was a lovely night and a really nice hotel!
