Event Details

DCCC and the Nordic Chambers invites you to a historical event hosted by Beijing Postcards just south of Tiananmen square. The DCCC is delighted to offer a favorable membership price to DCCC members for this fascinating presentation of the Boxer Rebellion by Danish owner Lars Ulrik.

Hear the incredible story of the summer of 1900, when 4,000 foreigners and Chinese lived under siege from radical mystic rebels for 55 days. Follow us into the old Legation Quarter to hear stories about the bombing of the French embassy, the wavering Qing Court and how 200,000 bullets flew into the sky without finding a single target. The tour will then end at Capital M for a well-deserved complimentary drink and a small exhibition curated by Beijing Postcards of original photos and maps from the early 1900's!
