Why Yangshuo？

Yangshuo is one of the best places in China to learn internal arts because the environment naturally supports stillness and consistency. Surrounded by dramatic karst mountains, quiet rivers, and slow village life, it’s easier to step away from stimulation, breathe deeper, and train with steady focus. The pace here invites a simple rhythm—practice, rest, reflect—so Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and meditation don’t feel like “activities,” but a calm way of living for a few days.
