10,000 Take Part In Spectacular Display of Tai Chi

More than 10,000 practitioners of Tai Chi assembled in Chenjiagou, China, for a spectacular display of a group Tai Chi performance as part of the celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

Chenjiagou is often referred to as the “Birthplace of Tai Chi Chuan” and is the home of the Chen family style of Tai Chi Chuan. The once small village has become transformed into a tourist and training destination for Tai Chi enthusiasts from around the world.

Every year, thousands of people visit Chenjiagou to train at one of the 40 or more Tai Chi schools, or to experience the different cultural attractions. There has been a lot of development at the village in the past few years. Visitors can experience the Ancestral Shrine, Ancestral Cemetery, Taijiquan Research Institute, and the Yang Luchan Learning Site.
