The 4th Chin Woo Kung-Fu Journey since its first inception some twelve years ago in 2002 flew out to China and Hong Kong on Sunday 21/12/2014 once again. The purpose and aims of these journeys are to introduce its participants to the culture and heritage of China through sightseeing, food and visits to fellow traditional Chinese martial arts practitioners and schools for a more in-depth understanding of the philosophies/principles of kung-fu and to cultivate friendship.
This journey will start at Wuhan, the heartland of industrial China, which is also the place where the first shot of the successful 11th uprising against the corrupted Ching dynasty was fired. During this travel period we will be travelling through 3 provinces: Hubei, Sichuan, Guangdong, visiting cities of Wuhan, Yichang, Chongqing, Guangzhou and Hong Kong and townships of Foshan & Shenzhen.
The group will be doing the following:
- Visiting world heritage sites such as the “Yellow Crane Pagoda” made well-known by famous poets through the different dynasties of China, perching high on a hilltop overlooking the Yangtse River.
- Riding in a cable car and then walking up to the “Golden Peak” of the Wudang mountain where legendary swordsmen have competed for the supreme title in a once every decade tournament.
- Observing the panda bears up close in Chongqing Zoo.
- Visiting a theme park that features all the different tribes of China.
- Going to the world famous “Victoria Peak” in Hong Kong.
- Paying homage to the Mecca of the “Wing Tsun” clan – “The Ving Tsun Association of Hong Kong.
- and much more.
Do not despair if you cannot join in this time. The group have promised to keep CWNZ members up to date with articles and photos of their amazing journey from time to time.
