Bian lian (lit: “face changing”) is a secret performance art rarely seen outside China. The face-changing technique was passed down within families and it is only within the last 30 years or so that it has started to spread more widely.  Traditionally, only men performed bian lian, but that has also begun to change in recent years. 

The Lion Dance is a traditional Chinese art that is passed down from generation to generation. It is usually performed by two people – one in front and one in back – and showcases some martial arts moves. The lion dance is considered to be an auspicious thing to drive away evil spirits, avoid harm and promote prosperity. 

Chinese Kung Fu includes a wide variety of styles and techniques, such as Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Wing Chun, and many others. These styles may focus on hard power or soft power, fast movements or slow, internal energy (Qi) or external strength. Beyond combat, Kung Fu teaches discipline, respect, perseverance, and moral character. It is not only a way to train the body but also a path to cultivate the spirit.
