Sport in China

Traditionally, the Chinese like to play and watch badminton, basketball and tabletennis. Sports like the internal Chinese martial art Taijiquan (Chinese shadow boxing) and Yoga are quite popular. With the economic development, more and more Chinese people find time and money to do sports. With new trends and sports coming to the country, more and more people in China start doing "western" sports such as golfing, tennis, hiking, climbing, mountain biking or skiing and snowboarding. The development also brings the opportunity to hold major international sporting events in China such as the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Shanghai, the ATP Tennis Masters and not to forget the Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing. But also smaller events such as the Nokia Mellow Park Slopestyle Tour or ski and mountain bike races in which everybody can participate are held in China. On this page we show pictures of various sports events you can either visit or take part in. Please contact us if you would like to attend a sports event in China, participate in one of the competitions open to everybody or if you would like to combine your stay with a trip through China: we offer a lot of active trips like biking, hiking, trekking, horse riding and much more!
