Tea tasting and Calligraphy workshop at Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden
After Hours at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden
An unforgettable and unique experience with tea tasting and calligraphy workshop. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the garden and the beauty of Chinese culture, while networking with fellow members.
Tea Experience: Since ancient times, the simple pleasure of family and friends gathering to drink tea has been practised to promote health and well-being.
Our tea master invites you to unwind and savour delicate fragrances while learning about tea tasting, aesthetics and tea etiquette as your being transported back in time with a traditional garden-home as your backdrop.
Calligraphy Experience: Revered as an art form, Calligraphy has existed for thousands of years. Far more than mere writing, good calligraphy showcases an exquisite brush control and attention to composition, but the actual manner of writing was also important with rapid, spontaneous strokes.
The Garden's calligraphy artists will provide rice paper, demonstrate and teach how to create a special take-home memento from this memorable experience.
GVBOT Members' Experiences are hosted at a members' place of business and provide a unique and fun environment to connect with other members. From entrepreneurs to small business owners and corporate executives, there are a breadth of people to connect with.
