Wu Tu Nan Taijigong @ Singapore Sun Festival

Wu Tu Nan Taijigong had the honour of being a part of the inaugural Singapore Sun Festival, 18 - 30 October 2007.

A celebration of the arts and the art of living well, the Singapore Sun Festival brought together the finest music, wine, cuisine, visual arts, film, literature and wellness events.

The Singapore Sun Festival is the third Sun Festival in the world, after the Tuscan Sun Festival and the Napa Valley Sun Festival. The Tuscan Sun Festival is well regarded as one of Europe's most prestigious arts and cultural event. This year, Singapore joins in as the Sun Festival's exclusive Asian home.

Wu Tu Nan Taijigong was part of the Singapore Sun Festival's wellness theme. During the festival, we provided Taiji mini courses and tasters at the Empress Place Green. Senior Instructor Sim Pern Yiau also gave talks at the Sun Tent, about this ancient art of health and how it stays relevant in our modern lives.
