Tai Chi is the perfect start to a day of touring, shopping or working.

After your relaxing Tai Chi session, visit Honggiao Market, also known as the Pearl Market, the largest pearl distribution center in Northern China. Famous around the world for pearl ornaments, the market boasts every variety of pearl imaginable, from freshwater pearls to coral. Reasonable prices and excellent customer service give Honggiao Market its wonderful reputation. Shop, stroll, explore, and enjoy a provided lunch.
