2011-12 Hilton Beijing Christmas Train Launch & Tree Lighting
Hilton Beijing Christmas Train Launch and Tree Lighting Ceremony was held on Saturday, December 3rd, 2011. Counting down before an eager audience made up of more than 1,000 visitors, the three-story tall Christmas tree was illuminated to the festive tune of the Christmas Train’s whistle at the Hilton Beijing! The ceremony began with three beautiful Christmas carols by The Lady of China, followed by the highlight of the night – a surprise visit by Santa Claus himself who made a dramatic entrance through the rooftop window, then lighting the beautiful Christmas Tree, and the evening ended with the conclusion of the Charity Bazaar.
