Resumo

Este ensaio analisa os principais conceitos enunciados pela literatura internacional sobre turismo de artes marciais e, pela categoria ainda mais ampla, de turismo cultural. Combina notas produzidas por uma observação participante e as imagens produzidas pelo próprio primeiro autor. O resultado é a ilustração de um caso particular de turismo de artes marciais inserido na década 2009-2018 e focado em Chenjiagou (aldeia de Chen), uma vila no interior da China (condado de Wen, província de Henan, República Popular da China). Aqui os turistas – atraídos pelo espírito peculiar do lugar, "genius loci", expresso na paisagem e nos costumes locais e reforçados por celebrações recorrentes ou pontuais – estão a contribuir para o desenvolvimento económico local e a melhoria urbana, criando um ambiente informal à escala planetária, através do interesse comum na arte marcial do taijiquan.
