    Master Eric was great teaching us Tai Chi movements. But the tea experience by Alice was more impressive.

    RECOMMENDED!

    This was a wonderful experience for both the Tai Chi and Tea tasting/ceremony. Both were very informative, Eric was amazing and very humble and took us around after the class for the tea corner. Alice was very very sweet! The teas we tasted were on another level, and she provided us with some history behind them. We told Alice we had another appointment after and she wrapped up on time and even guided us to the next street. We went back to her again and she was so welcoming!

    Amazing experience! Perfect for a visit to the Temple of Heaven

    This Tai chi class was an amazing experience! The teacher Eric was an excellent instructor, he was very kind and patient, he checked my experience level and organized the lesson based on it. I am a beginner and he explained the basic forms with details and extra focus on the philosophy behind the practice, it was very inspiring. Having this class before visiting the Temple of Heaven was a very good idea because it helped to create the right mindset for the beautiful and peaceful views.

    Amazing day in Beijing

    Tai Chi is such a beautiful way to learn about heath and our self’s. It was great to start the morning with Eric’s class, practicing presence (mind, eyes and body). It is relaxing and fun in the same time. Eric is a great master and specks fluent English. Going to the tea class after was the perfect combination, Alice Yang is a tea expert and lover. What a great day! I am glad I picked up this experience so I can leave China feeling I immersed myself in this fascinating culture!

    A Memorable Morning of Tea + Tai Chi

    Fun, rewarding experience. Eric gave a broad perspective on Tai Chi and delivered an interesting beginners lesson. He then transitioned to Alice at Alice Yqng’s Tea House, who gave an exceptional overview of tea history, culture and the science behind harvesting & preparing tea. Both Alice and Eric were patient, hospitable and well-prepared. Great half-day experience in Beijing.

    Beijing Tai Chi and Tea Ceremony Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.

    How much does Beijing Tai Chi and Tea Ceremony Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Beijing Tai Chi and Tea Ceremony Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.

    Is Beijing Tai Chi and Tea Ceremony Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Beijing Tai Chi and Tea Ceremony Experience?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Beijing Tai Chi and Tea Ceremony Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Beijing Tai Chi and Tea Ceremony Experience?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beijing Tai Chi and Tea Ceremony Experience start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Beijing?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Temple Heaven, Lama Temple, Summer Palace & Peking Duck Bus Tour, Beijing Mutianyu Great Wall Sightseeing Full-day Group Tours, Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Beijing?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Beijing?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Beijing Tai Chi and Tea Ceremony Experience?

    +

    Included: All Fees and Taxes; and Tea and coffee. Not included: food; and Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +
