Huangshan (Yellow Mountain), one of China's most sacred and breathtaking landscapes, is the perfect place to try China's living martial arts. In this hands-on class a local master teaches you the fundamentals — Tai Chi breathing and slow forms for balance, then a few crisp Kung Fu stances and movements. Suitable for total beginners and all ages, with loose clothing provided, so families, couples and solo travellers can all join in. Your English-speaking guide keeps the pace gentle and easy to follow, and there's no pressure to be perfect. Set high on the mountain amid the sea of clouds, granite peaks and ancient pines, it's a calming, photogenic and authentically local break from the usual sightseeing.
