Ms. Stella Kwan, Head of Commerce and Marketing of Ngong Ping 360, said, As one of the must-see attractions in Hong Kong, Ngong Ping 360 strives to bring innovation to Hong Kong tourism, making Hong Kong a compelling destination and attracting more guests. Last year, our Ngong Ping Shaolin Kung Fu Showcase was well received by our guests, and this year, we are excited to introduce Wu Dang to our annual Kung Fu event, creating an unprecedented opportunity for guests to venture into the world of martial arts, and see how the 2 Kung Fu disciplines interact, bringing an exciting and enjoyable experience to guests from Hong Kong and around the world through this special event. Also, for the first time, we will be introducing the Ngong Ping 360 Shaolin Martial Arts Training Camp as another pledge to bring fun outdoor activities to guests this summer. Miss Lisa Cheng also commented, Shaolin and Wu Dang are like yin and yang, I am honoured to be given the opportunity to learn about these two disciplines at the same time, and to understand the breadth and depth of traditional Chinese martial arts. This is very beneficial towards my goal of becoming an action star in Hollywood. As an athlete, I strongly encourage you all to participate in activities that can improve mind and body, such as the
Shaolin & Wu Dang Kung Fu Workshop during the Shaolin and Wu Dang Martial Arts Extravaganza at Ngong Ping 360. Through these interactive workshops, guests will learn to appreciate the power and essence of traditional Chinese martial arts while enjoying a fun-filled day-out for everyone in the family at Ngong Ping 360, and the place-to-go for outdoor activities for all ages! At the kickoff ceremony, the Kung Fu masters demonstrated some of their impressive skills, including Shaolin s Qizhen (Flag Matrix 旗陣 ), Wu Dang s Qixingjianzhan (Seven Star Sword Matrix 七星劍陣 ) as well as Taiyixuantianfuchen ( 太乙玄天拂塵 ). As a grand finale, Miss Lisa Cheng surprised guests to an eye-opening combat stunt with the masters, leaving a lasting impression and memorable event for all. The Shaolin and Wu Dang Martial Arts Extravaganza at Ngong Ping 360 will take place from 1 July to 2 September 2012 in Ngong Ping Village. During the two-month period, guests will not only be able to see two disciplines demonstrating their authentic martial art skills on the same stage at Shaolin & Wu Dang Kung Fu Showcase, but guests will also have the opportunity to learn the Shaolin Five-Form Fist ( 少林五形拳 ) and Wu Dang Foundation Fist Form ( 武當基本拳 ) at the Shaolin & Wu Dang Kung Fu Workshop.
