Yuntai Mountain · Day Trip
The birthplace of Chen-style tai chi — see the ancestral hall, watch the morning forms and walk the village lanes of Wen County.
Leave Yuntai Mountain for Chenjiagou village in Wen County, about 50 km east — the cradle of Chen-style tai chi since Chen Wangting created the art 300 years ago.
Tour the ancestral hall and the tai chi museum, where the Chen family's martial lineage is laid out in portraits and weapons.
Locals practise in the square and at the training yards — free to watch; polite to keep your distance during practice.
Eat at a village restaurant — the local stews and noodles are simple and filling.
Many schools welcome visitors to watch a class or try a few moves; lessons can be arranged through the village's international schools.
Coach or taxi back to the park gate in time for dinner.
