Wudangshan is the home of the founder of Tai Chi.
Most of the Taoist monks there practice it.
I met a travelling group from Germany who based their tai chi mornings and afternoons at various locations around the mountain.

Good places to get a good intro to Tai Chi

In Yangshuo, Longtou Shan Martial Arts School, about 2km upstream from Yangshuo at Shiban Qiao village. Contact Mei 013878376597, www.longtoutaichi.com; or my long-term favourite, Budi Zhen martial arts school, 13977350377, www.budizhen.com.cn), run by 81-year-old Mr Gao and his twin sons.

All these people speak English and will teach you some worthwhile stuff - more importantly, they're great people too (just watch out for "George" Gao when he's drunk).

The highlight of our honeymoon was the visit to Guilin and a cruise through the Li River valley. My wife is a native of China and lived most of her life just south of Guilin in Nanning, where she was a head teacher in a middle school. We spent 3 days in Guilin. The Elephant Trunk Hill and the Seven Star Park are all beautiful with gorgeous landscaping and views. Take a raft ride from the people with the bamboo rafts. We were poled gondola-style for a good hour for 2 yuan (you must, of course, dicker the price). Visit the university, especially the arts and crafts store -- it is home to many great deals. The university also has frequent shows. We saw a Nationalities Celebration of dance, music and stories from several of China's 58 nationalities. We also met several students and professors who spoke good English. One of them offered to guide us around the area in exchange for a chance to work on and improve his English -- a great deal!!

Guilin is an artist heaven because of the world renowned beauty of the hill surrounding the river. Many shopping areas offer great opportunities to buy beautiful carvings, paintings and other wonderful souvenirs -- (dicker hard). Of course, the highlight of the visit is the boat ride through the hills. It is a wind, rain and river water carved valley of awe inspiring beauty. This is the trip China took US President Clinton on for the natural scenic part of his visit in 1998 -- a pretty hefty recommendation. It frequently appears on lists of the 10 Most Beautiful Places on Earth. You can find thousand of pictures of these hills on the Internetat places like vebshots.com, but one view in person is worth a million of them. The only way to describe it is to say that if Dr. Seuss was given a chance to design the landscape of a place, this is probably close to what he would have done. On the return bus ride, they usually stop at some caves, which are loade d with beautiful structures.
