Organized by the China Culture Center in Benin, the 2018 World Tai Chi Day was held at the Friendship Stadium's square in Cotonou on April 28.

The event attracted nearly 200 martial arts enthusiasts from across the country, ranging in age from 4 to 70. It was organized as a bid to popularize the tai chi fitness concept and further advance China-Benin friendly ties.

World Tai Chi Day, which falls on the last Saturday of April every year, is an event celebrated by tai chi buffs in hundreds of cities around the world.
