if you're coming to shanghai, you might wanna check the Shanghai University of Sport. they have a big martial arts department. although most of it is performance wushu and san-da, they have a taiji department and their teacher is pretty good. contact me if you want and i'll take you there. since i don't think the uni' will just let you come in...

: Thanks for the great info. We are
: still working on a final itinerary
: which will include Taiwan. I tried
: to find Zhaobao on Google maps
: without success. I'm a photographer
: and looking for very large scenic
: and urban landscapes to include the
: old and new.

: Can't help with Beijing or Shanghai,
: sorry.
:
: Shaolin Temple is a circus, but good
: fun in the right mood. The only
: hotel actually at Shaolin is the Zen
: International (0371/6275666,
: 62745555), though it's pretty
: expensive - best rates by calling in
: advance. Otherwise, loads of simple
: places just 100m back along the road
: towards Dengfeng - Farmhouse
: Fragrant Hotel, Shaolin Village
: Hotel, Tianfu Hotel and others.
:
: Obviously training here is in
: Shaolin styles, not taiji, but if
: you're interested anyway try
: contacting either English-speaking
: Robert Huang (0371/61156090, email
: robert0213@sohu.com), or the
: Training Department's Director,
: Chinese-speaking Yan Zhijun
: (%T0371/62865877, email
: DFYanZhiJun@tom.com).
:
: Wudang Shan is a beautiful place and
: definitely worth the visit, but have
: never been impressed with anything
: martial I've seen there ('course,
: that might only mean I've never
: looked hard enough). There are many
: places to stay at the bus parking
: area about halfway up the mountain,
: (two-hour walk to the top from here)
: as well as a hotel just below the
: peak beside the cable-car station.
: If you visit Zixiao Gong, a big
: temple about 3km downhill from the
: bus park, you'll almost certainly
: see monks going though martial art
: routines.
:
: If you're going to Xi'an, there's a
: Zhaobao group which meets daily
: around 8am in the park outside the
: city's south wall; go down Nan Dajie
: and through the main south gate,
: turn west, and look for them about
: 150m along.
:
: Why aren't you going to Zhaobao?
:
: Try Lonely Planet's website for
: travel-related questions; their
: message board is

: and you want the Northeast Asia,
: China thread.

: the Shaolin Monastery, and Wudang
: Mountain. Can you recommend any
: hotels in these areas? Can you
