While you're in the region
Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $121 a day this sits right at the $108 median for craft & artisan. It is cheaper than 6 of the 19 craft & artisan options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in China
- 2 other options in China, starting with shaolin kung fu in Dengfeng from $1,500.
- When to go
- Workable across 7 months of the year — Mar-Jun, Sep-Nov. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 7 days, but the honest range is 4 to 30. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
