Now there is no limit on visa extension. Back in 2008 a Chinese entry visa can only be extended once inside China. The new requirement is that there has to be 100 US dollars available for each day extended. Some of the full time taiji students this year have to extend their visas twice.

  1. Power supply: China uses 220 v, not 11o like in North America. Check your appliances. 更多
  1. Master Chen does not have a formalized teaching schedule or method. His teaching is based on traditional method. It is influenced by the mood of the day or occasion. This means when he is happy and the right ambiance is present, he might teach more than normal. 更多

If you have any serious medical conditions, you should inform the full time course administration. In particular:

  1. Any medical conditions that might require emergency evacuation or first aid measures (for example, diabetes, heart problems, and severe allergies).
  2. Any medications that you are taking which are vital to your health.

Additionally, please inform the staff as soon as possible if you have, or if you contract, any communicable disease.

Visa for China i

Do you know the visa situation in China?  I am going to stay in China for 3 months and possibly a year, but I’ve heard China stopped issuing 60 and 90 day visas.  Do you know how difficult it is to get a 6 month visa?  I am going to get mine in Hong Kong, hoping it might be easiest to get a visa there. 更多

I teach the two systems for two reasons:

  1. Personal bias. You can also call this respect for my two masters. I am a disciple of both systems and therefore, I find in my heart that I must teach both systems. This does not mean that I always teach both Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method and Hunyuan Taiji at the same time. 更多

I cannot tell you THE most important thing to pack. Here is a list from past graduates (no particular order):

  • really good hiking shoes

Sorry we have not included any information on this subject. It will be very easy to live as a vegetarian on the mountain. We are growning our own vegetables this year. If you decide to go, let us know as soon as you can, we will start planting things that will suit you. Lots of soya bean products. We make our own tofu on the mountain too!
