A fever of Yoga has been spread massively in China ahead of the third UN International Day of Yoga. Thousands of Chinese would participate in scores of events organised across the country. Officials said this will make it the second-biggest celebrations of the day in the world after India.
Though yoga has become immensely popular over the years in China with ancient indigenous physical fitness martial art form Tai Chi, it got an official sanction when Chinese Premier Li Keqiang joined Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Beijing in 2015 at a joint event during the visit.
China backed India’s move in the UN to make June 21 as International Yoga Day, giving a fillip to hundreds of yoga clubs and organisations.
Yoga now has become a trend with people practising in parks. The Indian Embassy here which has a yoga specialist Umesh Babu besides Indian Consulates in Shanghai and Guangzhou are organising dozens of events collaborating the events featuring Chinese officials.
