Foshan Kung Fu Day Trip

What You'll Experience

Foshan is the birthplace of multiple styles of southern Chinese kung fu — Wing Chun, Hung Ga, Choy Li Fut — and the home of Ip Man, Wong Fei-hung, and a martial arts heritage so dense that the city has its own dedicated museum and a martial arts park where practitioners still train every morning. The day trip from Guangzhou (30 minutes by metro) takes you through four sites in one packed day: the Ancestral Temple (Zumiao) with its Hall of Guan Yu and cast-iron warrior statues, the Foshan Martial Arts Hall where a coach runs you through basic Wing Chun footwork and the vertical fist strike that made the style famous, the Lion Dance Museum where you learn the etiquette of a performance art used in business openings and temple festivals across the world, and the Nanfeng Ancient Kiln — a Ming dynasty dragon kiln still firing traditional Shiwan ceramic ware every day of operation.
