Traditional Chinese Music and Instruments

Check out traditional Chinese music and instruments. Here in Oregon you can go to the Portland Classical Chinese Garden. They have an ensemble on Thursdays from 11am till 2 pm, as well as, on Sundays from 2:30pm till 4:30pm. Listen to a luiqin-a small guitar like instrument shaped like a tennis racket. One of my favorites is the er hu-a two string instrument which i thing sounds very sad.

While there enjoy traditional Chinese tea or cha as it is known in China. If they have Tie Guan Yin give it a try. It is a green tea but light and refreshing.
