Two new Chinese records
On 25 and 26 December 2008, the Zhong Lian Hotel in Dandong city, China, successfully organised two record breaking events at the Dandong Wangtong Stadium, the records were for the most postcards sent from one location at one time, which was set at 3,316 and for the most people completing the same dot-to-dot drawing simultaneously, which was counted at 2,490.
The two events were held as parts of two Christmas Singing parties organized by the Zhong Lian Hotel. The participants for these records were the attendees to these parties. Most of the attendees were from the city of Dandong, which is famous for the Yalu River, a river on the border between China and D.P.R.K. The postcards sent from the stadium were postcards illustrating the beautiful sceneries of Dandong City. The purpose of these postcards was to exalt the beauty of their city and to show their best wishes for the New Year to other cities. The dot to dot drawings were drawings of the Hushan Great Wall in Dandong.
The Zhong Lian Hotel management was very excited to be awarded the certificates by the adjudicator from Guinness World Records, Angela Wu. They said that by organizing such events, besides set world records, they show their love of the hometown and welcome all visitors to the beautiful city of Dandong.
