A group of young Russian martial arts practitioners recently visited the home of kung fu and tai chi in Henan Province on a cultural exchange and study tour. During their stay in Henan from May 10 to 12, they visited the Shaolin Temple, the Henan Museum and Chenjiagou Village – the birthplace of tai chi.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between China and Russia. With more exchanges between the two countries, Chinese martial arts are gaining in popularity in Russia.
