Rendezvous at the Great Wall in Bright Moonlight

On the evening of September 23, a magnificent Mid-Autumn Poetry Gala took place 
at the foot of the Juyongguan Great Wall in Changping, Beijing, as the main 
event of the 2023 Beijing Great Wall Cultural Festival.

This year, the Beijing Great Wall Cultural Festival features a main event, a 
high-level cultural salon, a forum and multiple themed activities, aiming to 
present to the world the grandeur of the millennia-old Great Wall through a 
modern audio-visual feast, according to the Publicity Department of Changping 
District.

As the night falls, the Juyongguan Great Wall was wrapped in brilliant lighting 
and the event opened. It included an achievement release, a launching ceremony 
and an art show. The gala showcased the Great Wall as a grandiose miracle in 
the history of human architecture and presented unparalleled historic and 
cultural landscape to global audiences through the release of achievements 
related to the Great Wall cultural belt, the screening of promotional videos on 
Great Wall culture, and a diverse range of performances.

The gala, centered around the Great Wall culture, featured famous ancient 
Chinese poems themed on the Great Wall and the moon, an original song 
eulogizing the moon, and a series of songs celebrating the picturesque views at 
the Juyongguan Great Wall.
         
To better promote the culture of the Great Wall, Changping District, where the 
Juyongguan Pass is located, launched a photo exhibition, a cultural fair, and a 
cage football tournament, all themed on the Great Wall, during the Great Wall 
Cultural Festival. Combining tourism with intangible cultural heritage,

and integrated development of the cultural and tourism industries, revitalized 
cultural resources, enriched the supply of tourism products, spurred people's 
love for the Great Wall, and created an enabling environment where everyone 
contributes to cultural heritage protection.
