That destination was 60 kilometers from downtown Beijing: Yuyang Ski Resort, where the Beijing Strawberry Music Festival was being held during the May Day long weekend, April 29 to May 1.
Those in the car were meeting each other for the first time, but their common love of music proved to be the perfect icebreaker as they enthusiastically discussed which singers they were looking forward to seeing and hearing at the festival and as they talked about music in general.
The Strawberry Music Festival, one of China's biggest outdoor music festivals, first held 10 years ago and organized by Modern Sky, the country's biggest indie music label. As for the music aficionado Su, this would be her debut appearance at the festival.
