I have decided to return to China in September of this year.  Sigung Eric Lee is hosting another trip to China.  This year the tour will go through Canton, Hong Kong, and the Wudang Temple.  I have always wanted to visit the Wudang Shan temple.  For Chinese martial arts enthusiasts, the Wudang Temple holds as much popularity and myth as the Shaolin Temple.  These two temples have helped each other develop internal and external martial arts through the viewpoints of their respect philosophies.  While Shaolin Temple martial arts are founded in Buddhism, Daoist Temple martial arts are rooted deep within the philosophies of Daoism.

The trip will last from September 19th through September 29th of this year.  This will be near the middle of autumn in China which is considered the ideal for viewing much of its natural beauty.  It also avoids the high temperatures common in the Summer months making traveling more enjoyable.

I am excited to be going back and seeing different areas of China than I have on my previous trip.  My last trip was a private and insightful trip.  It was a journey I needed to take on my own as a sort of pilgrimage to the Shaolin Temple and I was very glad to make this journey mostly on my own.  This trip is more about fun and enjoying the company of friends and seeing wonderful places in China.  Several of my students have decided to go on this trip as well.  It will be nice to spend time and experience this trip with good friends.  I will take lots of pictures again as I did on the previous trip, and I will also make sure to journal each day and put them up here for everyone to enjoy.

This trip is not just for martial artists.  There is a lot of sight seeing and tourist attractions and just relaxing and enjoying life while on this trip.  The prices include airfare and travel in China, Hotel and accommodations, three meals a day, and admission to all tourist attractions.  This makes them a very good deal and a good opportunity for those who wish to travel in China.  If anyone is interested in going on this trip please contact me or visit www.ericleechinatour.com
