At the event, practitioners demonstrated the exercises and put on performances. After the performances, they passed out flyers to tourists. Several practitioners noted that many Chinese tourists refused to listen to them years ago, but in the recent years more and more of them are willing to accept materials and talk to practitioners. Some local businessmen at the tourist spot said that they like practitioners because they are peaceful and honest.
