The evening school, which once carried memories of bygone eras, has now reemerged as a vibrant hub for young people in Hangzhou, who are voicing increasingly their preference for spending the evenings at school rather than indulging in idle activities like watching television or scrolling through their phones at home.
This shift is evident from the popularity of evening schools today, where some popular courses are “sold out” within a minute, resulting in a phenomenon of 650,000 people scrambling for 10,000 seats.
Unlike traditional evening schools in the past, today’s evening school courses incorporate a more contemporary touch. A search for “evening school” reveals a diverse array of options. Regular courses like music, chess, painting, singing, make-up, and yoga are naturally included, but there are also special courses such as Western cuisine cooking courses and AI programs. These vast selections and stress-free classes offer a recess from the exhaustion of a hard-working day.
If you miss out on the popular late-night courses, Huanglong Sports Center’s group classes offer a compelling alternative. Here, you can engage in a range of sports including tennis, badminton, fitness, swimming, squash, Pilates, and marathon training. Furthermore, it has traditional Chinese courses such as Wing Chun and Guzheng.
Wing Chun, a renowned style of Southern Chinese martial arts, not only strengthens the body but also serves as a self-defense skill. The group classes avoid outdated theoretical explanations and adopt a more direct, sparring-based approach. This allows students to gradually get accustomed to physical confrontation and master the application of Wing Chun.
All these options are budget-friendly and led by highly qualified instructors.
