Morning mist lifts through ancient cypress as participants step onto a temple courtyard at Qingcheng Mountain, the air cool and slow as a practiced breath. A local Taichi master leads a small group through deliberate movements grounded in Taoist practice — pushes and yields, a clear rhythm between motion and stillness.
