Testimonials

"The Brickyard is a unique venue, ideally suited for Executives to gather and think strategically, to stimulate and relax at the same time. This is the most restful, relaxed place I have ever been to in China, and for it to be so close to Beijing airport is a joy! The fresh air, quiet surroundings, opportunities to explore by walking or hiking in a natural setting make it a memorable experience rather than simply a meeting place."

-- Lorna Davis, President of Kraft Foods China, July 2010

The Schoolhouse was the perfect venue for my team's mini-retreat and our team building activities. The invigorating hike along the Great Wall at Mutianyu, coupled with the mountain clean air, the Schoolhouse's local fresh food and ample meeting facilities, enabled us to step-back from the daily grind and relax, cultivate our working relationships and focus on our corporate and team goals and objectives.

-- John W. Sullivan, Asia Legal Director, Texas Instruments Incorporated

The Schoolhouse is an exceptional place to entertain, whether for business or for pleasure. I am always pleased with the attentiveness of the staff, the great food and, of course, the wonderful settings, whether on the Terrace, in the Smithy or at the Canteen. I especially appreciate and value the Schoolhouse team's 'can do' attitude. They are always willing to try new ideas and are flexible with our requests.

-- John Watkins, Cummins (China) Investment Co. Ltd.

To the staff of The Schoolhouse at Mutianyu Great Wall - Thank you so much for providing a great environment, menu, lunch presentation, and glass blowing dionstration for our Team Building Offsite Meeting.

Mibers of our team agree that they look forward to visiting again for business events and for weekends and holidays with their families.

-- Kristin B. Zimmerman, General Motors China (Beijing), Environment, Energy & Safety Policy

The Schoolhouse has been the venue for several A.P. Moller - Maersk events and our experiences are positive without fail. While meeting facilities are basic but adequate, the accommodation in individually styled villas is outstanding and the food excellent. Also, the uniformly friendly staff has made every effort to accommodate ourneeds. For company events, The Schoolhouse provides a tranquil and charming alternative to the drab anonymity of a five-star hotel function room. We will be back!

-- Mr. Jens Eskelund, Senior Director of External Relations and Communication, A.P. Moller - Maersk (North Asia)
