After the launch all participants and accompanies got a chance to visit the Oct East Theme Park. It is a theme park that was opened in summer of 2007, but it's a bit hard to place it into a certain category. OCT is one of the biggest real estate companies in Shenzhen. They managed to buy an area of about 9 square kilometres in the east of Shenzhen. The main attractions are the three major theme parks: Knight Valley, Tea Stream Valley and Wind Valley. There is also a huge golf course, hotels and real estate.

All participants could enjoy special performances.

In the Chinese lunar calendar tradition, the seventh, eighth and ninth months comprise autumn. During fall, the skies are commonly clear and cloudless and the nights crisp and sharp. In these night sky conditions, the moon appears to be the brightest. These days the festival celebrates the moon's appearance as the brightest and most beautiful throughout the year. The holiday appeared to be during Grand Prix, so all guests could follow the tradition and enjoy the moon during the evening. It is usual here to spend time with your friends and family and sit outside under a starless sky, gazing at the moon. Enjoying the moon is an ancient tradition in China going back nearly 1,400 years.
