Take a Break in a Vibrant City

Central, Hong Kong

In the early morning, a group of people were practising Tai Chi in Central - the financial centre of Hong Kong.
An hour later, this area will flood with people rushing to their offices.

"Tai Chi" is an internal Chinese martial art.
Tai Chi helps people to get soft martial techniques, improve health and achieve longevity.

Today, Tai Chi has spread worldwide.
Groups of people practise together every morning in parks around the world, particularly in China.
