    Your tour guide will meet you in your Beijing city hotel's lobby at prearranged time by holding your name sign, then hop on a private vehicle to Houhai  Lake to meet your Tai Chi Master.  Start your 1 hour Tai Chi class to practice some basic Tai Chi movements, learns through clear communication, practice and feedback. No matter you are young or aged, weak or strong, you all can choose Ta chi as an ideal physical exercise! Tai chi is a centuries-old Chinese martial art that descends from qigong, an ancient Chinese discipline that has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. According to some records, tai chi dates back as far as 2,500 years! It involves a series of slow, meditative body movements that were originally designed for self-defense and to promote inner peace and calm. It is non-competitive, gentle, and generally slow-paced. By increasing strength, flexibility, body awareness, and mental concentration, tai chi can improve your health, too.
