    My friends and I loved every minute of this experience with Richard! Richard was an amazing teacher. His patience and passion made the whole morning such a wonderful and relaxing experience. We were shocked to look at our phones and realize that 1.5 hours had passed in what felt like a blink. We are not tourists and have lived in Beijing for many years but this was our first experience with this Chinese art form. I would definitely recommend this class for tourists OR expats/locals. You definitely won't be disappointed!

    Richard was an excellent teacher, I was able to learn he basic brushstrokes and the character “happiness”. I wrote “happiness” on a canvas for myself, and he also let me make some for my family and friends. 10/10 experience and very relaxing. Definitely add it to your list of things to do in China!

    We booked this experience on our last day in Beijing. Yu, our instructor, met us at the East Gate of the Temple of Heaven as specified, though we were a few minutes late due to the morning traffic. We had a couple of extra people, and he was easily able to accommodate this and negotiated a fair rate for them to join the class. We went to an area where many community members were practicing Tai Chi, and there was plenty to room for our class. Yu led us through a sequence, then proceeded to break down the sequence and explain the history and rationale of Tai Chi as well as some aspects of Chinese Medicine. It was a truly awesome experience, and my only regret is that I do not live in Beijing so that I could continue to study with Yu. I would highly recommend this experience.

    This is my highlight in Beijing. He will push you hard. You won't become the master, but you'll learn a move or two to defend yourself. Come do the Great Wall and this. They're the only two you need to do.

    My uncle and I loved this experience with the master Richard! Richard was an amazing teacher and person. We enjoyed his passion and his knowledge in this area. I´m not tourist and have lived in Beijing for many years but this was my first experience with this Chinese artist. I would definitely recommend this class.

    Muy interesante tanto la parte práctica como la teórica del aprendizaje de la caligrafía china. Su lema también es muy profundo: One Heart One World. Y recomiendo también sus indicaciones sobre el contacto con el pincel: "Let the brush flow like water"

    Greatest day with sunflower! We tried so many different things and Sunflower was absolutely amazing. Very friendly, and informative, and took great care of our little family.
    We did dumpling class in her own home, so it felt really unique, and authentic. Would recommend highly to everyone!

    Richard (our teacher) was amazing at teaching us the art of calligraphy. He’s very patient, full of joy and has made us laugh a lot! He makes sure, this experience is a memorable one. Highly recommend the private lesson as you can take your time and learn at your own pace!
