Jiaozuo Tourism Sets up Publicity and Promotion Center in Los Angeles

On the morning of May 22nd, (American local time), the setup, signing, and opening ceremony of Jiaozuo Tourism (Los Angeles) Publicity and Promotion Center (Jiaozuo, the birthplace of Chinese Taiji) was held at Chen Bing Taiji Academy USA in Los Angeles. This is the first publicity and promotion center Jiaozuo Tourism has ever set up in Europe and the Americas. The setup of the center has an important meaning on publicizing and promoting Jiaozuo’s two international tourism brands: “One Mountain One Fist (Taiji),” boosting the host of the “One Competition One Festival,” setting up the “World’s Taiji City - Zhongyuan Health Field,” and building a world-famous cultural and tourism city. Yang Qingjiu, Municipal Standing Committee Member and Executive Deputy Mayor of Jiaozuo, attended the signing and opening ceremony.

Taiji, originated from Chenjiagou, Wenxian County, Jiaozuo, has been spread to more than 150 countries and regions of the world. About 300 million people from around the world are now practicing Taiji, which is a martial arts sport with the most practitioners in the world. Yuntai Mountain is among the first Global Geoparks and is the sister park of the Grand Canyon of Colorado. Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, where there are many Chinese gathering areas. Chinese traditional culture with Kung Fu and mountains and waters as representatives plays an important role in the local Chinese market. Chen Bing Taiji Academy USA is a professional martial arts academy (approved by Chenjiagou Martial Arts Association) which specializes in teaching Chen’s Taiji. In order to further expand Jiaozuo tourism’s international market share, Jiaozuo Tourism Bureau and Chen Bing Taiji Academy USA decided to jointly set up the Jiaozuo Tourism Publicity and Promotion Center. The two parties have agreed that the City of Jiaozuo regards Chen Bing Taiji Academy USA as its publicity and promotion base and base of operations in the U.S., which is perfect for holding all kinds of publicity and promotional activities. Chen Bing Taiji Academy USA actively promotes and recommends Jiaozuo tourism to Americans and Taiji lovers, which further increases the reputation and influence of the “Taiji Holy Land - Mountain and Water Jiaozuo” in Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, and attracts more Taiji lovers and tourists to travel to and learn in China’s Taiji hometown Jiaozuo.

Yang Qingjiu, Municipal Standing Committee Member and Executive Deputy Mayor of Jiaozuo, hopes that the Publicity and Promotion Center doesn’t only teach more Americans Taiji, but it also needs to more extensively promote Jiaozuo tourism and spread Chinese culture, in addition to making it the center develop into a cultural communication platform between Chinese people and Americans. Wonderful Taiji performances were arranged during the signing ceremony. Yang Qingjiu, Municipal Standing Committee Member and Executive Deputy Mayor of Jiaozuo, and Bai Chengzhe, President of Chen Bing Taiji Academy USA, unveiled the Publicity and Promotion Center. America’s World Daily, CTI Television Incorporation and other media outlets reported on the event.
