This is not just a cultural demonstration—it’s a personal journey into Chinese identity and artistry. While many travelers see calligraphy as an abstract tradition, here you’ll make it your own by learning to write your own name in Chinese characters, using a brush and ink in the traditional style. You’ll also receive a thoughtfully chosen Chinese name, often based on the sound or meaning of your real name—something deeply symbolic and uniquely yours.

Writing your name in Chinese calligraphy is more than just fun—it’s a mindful, creative moment that connects you with the heart of Chinese culture. Combined with the quiet beauty of a traditional tea ceremony, this experience offers a rare mix of personalization, elegance, and cultural depth you won’t find in typical tourist activities.

What to expect

Immerse yourself in the elegance of Chinese culture through two timeless traditions: calligraphy and tea.

In a peaceful and beautifully decorated local teahouse, you’ll be guided by a calligraphy teacher to learn how to write Chinese characters using traditional brush and ink. We’ll help you create your very own Chinese name, based on either the sound or meaning of your original name. Then, you’ll learn to write it in authentic Chinese calligraphy—your own piece of Chinese culture to take home.

After the writing session, unwind with a relaxing Chinese tea ceremony. You’ll taste a variety of traditional teas—such as green tea, oolong, or pu-erh—while learning about the proper brewing techniques and the cultural significance behind each one.

This experience is a calm and thoughtful way to connect with Chinese art, language, and hospitality.
