A 20-member French cultural exchange delegation, driven by their love for tai chi, recently arrived in Wudang, Guiyang, the capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province. They will learn about Chinese culture and enjoy the picturesque scenery of Wudang. Among them are painters, teachers, film coordinators, and more.
At the viewing platform of Huahua Town in Yangchang town, Wudang, the delegates started practicing tai chi as they admired the beautiful scenery. "The air here is fresh, and the environment is beautiful. Practicing tai chi here feels more relaxing and natural," said one delegate.

During the mountain hiking exchange seminar held under the ginkgo trees, the group members had an engaging discussion about outdoor sports with the president of the Guiyang Mountain Outdoor Sports Association.
Raimond Hommet, a painter, took out his portable sketchbook and oil pastels and began sketching under the ancient ginkgo tree in Huanglian village. In the upcoming days, Hommet will also take his artworks with him to a series of exchange and exhibition activities with local calligraphy and painting enthusiasts in Wudang.
