Traditional events enjoy a festival of celebration
Kunming hosts a brilliant showcase of culture for a global audience
The Go competition was held at the Yunzi Go Academy, which is a public museum that primarily highlights the various achievements of Chinese Go. Meanwhile, the Wushu and health qigong competitions were staged at the National Sports Training Center of Haigeng in Kunming. This renowned "meritorious training base" for China's national teams once again served as a vital platform for preserving and promoting traditional Chinese sports.
Yunnan team member Xiao Ruiqi emphasized that health qigong is accessible to people of all ages, including younger generations. "After practicing, you feel relaxed, happy, and recharged — it helps to relieve physical fatigue," Xiao noted.
"We warmly welcome all health qigong enthusiasts to Yunnan to participate. It's not about chasing rankings; it's about gaining health," he added.
