THE EXPERIENCE

A place to practise.

FangYuan is a small tai chi and qigong centre in a village outside Jieyang in eastern Guangdong, about two and a half hours by high-speed train from Hong Kong. Master Ping teaches in English to groups of about eight, and weekly packages include around 20 hours of training, a private room, full board and transfers. Dates are open, with arrival on a Sunday and classes from Monday. It is a comfortable, structured option for beginners rather than a monastery-style school.
