Chinese Kongfu is classified into various styles according to di‑ erent regions, di‑ erent schools and families, as well as different fighting techniques. There are two most famous Kongfu scenic spots: Shaolin Temple in Henan Province and Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province.
The Shaolin Monastery or Shaolin Temple is long famous for its association with Chinese martial arts and particularly with Shaolin Kongfu. Of the tens of thousands of Kongfu and wushu styles, several hundred have some relationship to Shaolin.
In years past, the mountains of Wudang were known as an academic centre for the research, teaching and practice of Chinese martial arts. Wudang Taiji, also known as shadowboxing, is another major division of Chinese martial art. Now it becomes a practice that promotes relaxation and relieving stress.
