We recently celebrated our completion of structural renovation at the Shaxi temple with a wine tasting party courtesy of Torres Wines. Guests from nine countries came from Shaxi, Dali and Kunming to enjoy the party on Saturday with a traditional music performance, followed by Sunday brunch on the terrace. We’re looking forward to making the Summer Harvest Party a tradition at the Shaxi temple that will offer wine, music and the best of Shaxi hospitality.
