Yangshuo has a number of martial arts schools teaching both kung fu and tai chi. Of these, the most renowned is Long Tou Shan a little out of town near the Li River Retreat which offers Chen and Yang style tai chi, fan and sword work and qigong (an aspect of traditional Chinese medicine involving the coordination of different breathing patterns with various physical postures). Classes are taught by English-speaking qualified national instructors, including Lou Mei Juan who studied under Chen Zheng Lei, one of China’s most highly regarded tai chi practitioners. Lessons can be taught in Yangshuo for ¥50 an hour, but for courses it’s better to stay at their retreat as exercises begin early and include five to six hours of practice per day. Residential courses are available from ¥1,100 per week, which includes accommodation and three vegetarian meals a day.
