Oktoberfest offers family-friendly fun

Sunrise Kempinski Hotel, Beijing, located on the shores of the city's Yanqi Lake, celebrated Oktoberfest in style at the resort's Paulaner Brauhaus recently to ring in the harvest season.

Max Zankl's Munich-Bavarian Show Band set the tone for the international festival, performing numbers in German, English, Italian, Spanish, Mandarin and Korean.

With fresh Paulaner beer direct from the in-house brewery being served alongside a gourmet German feast, guests joined the revelries with palpable enthusiasm, experiencing a taste of authentic Bavarian culture against the backdrop of unique Yanshan mountain views.
