Yun Cheng isn’t really the right place for sightseeing. The best sight is the school itself and the fact that you will get to know the poorest place you have probably ever been to. I am not talking about the school, but about Yun Cheng and the surrounding area.
There is a big museum with around 30 buildings inside the school, and a lot of people come to visit it every day. From time to time, they also use this location to produce movies—for example Sammo Hung’s last movie, Wushu (2007).
Besides that, there is a small tower and a lake at Guang Chang in Yun Cheng. It’s nothing amazing, but it’s okay for a 15-minute stay. There is also a western-style fast food restaurant called DICO’s at Guang Chang. You will love it after two weeks of “Song Jiang food.”

If you are traveling to China to learn wushu but also want to see the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, or other famous places, I recommend doing all the sightseeing either when you arrive in Beijing or a few days before you fly back. Actually, before the return flight is a bit better, because if there are any problems with the train connections to Beijing, you can cancel some sights and still catch your flight in time.
Places you should see:
Tian An Men
All the buses to the train station pass Tian An Men.
The Forbidden City
Entrance at Tian An Men.
Mao Ze Dong’s Body
At Tian An Men.
One of the parks in Beijing
Especially if you are traveling to China around the Spring Festival.
The West Train Station
On a busy day = real China.
The Wushu Museum at Song Jiang
The Great Wall
You should reserve an entire day for this trip, because it is a few hours from Beijing. You can buy tickets at Tian An Men.
