1.Why Try Calligraphy?
Welcome to China—a land where ancient traditions breathe alongside modern marvels. Among tea ceremonies, temple visits, and Great Wall hikes, I urge you to try an experience that unlocks China’s soul: Chinese calligraphy (书法, shūfǎ). It’s not just writing—it’s meditation, art, and history flowing through your fingertips.

2.Here's What You'll Experience
· First-Timer Friendly
Discover the elegance of Chinese calligraphy in this hands-on, beginner-friendly class. Led by a local instructor, this experience is designed to help you slow down, relax, and explore one of China’s most beautiful art forms.
· Knowledge Preparation
We’ll begin with a brief introduction to the history and meaning of calligraphy, followed by simple breathing and stretching exercises to calm the body and mind.
· Hands-On Practice
Then, you’ll learn how to hold a brush, practice basic strokes, and try writing meaningful characters like “福” (good fortune) — or even your name in Chinese.
· Create & Celebrate
As your confidence builds, you’ll create your own calligraphy artwork — a unique and meaningful souvenir of your time in China. Throughout the session, enjoy traditional Chinese tea and light local snacks in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
· More Than Art
This is more than just a class — it’s a cultural journey where you’ll learn by doing, and leave with a deeper connection to Chinese tradition.
