The Story of Tai Chi Traveller |

|
|
Tai Chi Traveller is the sister of Yangshuo Tai Chi School China, and was founded by Huang Hua (Henry) who is the schools chairman. Having run a successful Tai Chi school in Yangshuo for several years, Henry wanted to teach Tai Chi whilst combining it with the culture of travel. He spent many years travelling around Asia, which gave birth to a desire to also give those interested in both Tai Chi and travel the opportunity to do both at once; so Tai Chi Traveller was born.
Yangshuo remains the head quarters where students can train all year round, however, in order to accommodate those who want to see Asia and continue to enjoy Tai Chi, we have chosen several locations to visit that we feel to be both culturally and spiritually significant.
