Why We Do This
The purpose of this charity event is to raise money
for the Elderly of the villages of Bohai Township,
who have helped this area to grow. Those living
outside Mutianyu Village particularly struggle with
no tourism revenue, left behind by the young. From
2010-2013 Bohai or Bust has raised a total of Rmb
88,618. This year the presentation of proceeds will
occur Thursday 2 October 2014 on Chong Yang Jie
(Elder's Day), a traditional Chinese holiday which
celebrates the elderly.
