The simultaneous Tai Chi performance is expected to be confirmed as a Guinness World Record.

To celebrate the tranquil ancient Chinese martial art, an estimated 50,000 people performed Tai Chi simultaneously in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record.

The event, “Enjoy Tai Chi, Enjoy Health”, which took place on Sunday, was recorded by a set of drones.

As the video above shows, thousands of pupils, wearing matching outfits, filled parks and stadiums in 15 locations throughout the Chinese Henan province and performed Tai Chi choreography at the same time.

The result was stunning coloured-patterns visible from several vantage points in the area.

Over 30 cities took part in the event, including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Xi’an, Shijiazhuang and Chengdu. Nearly 20 other cities around the world particpated such as Paris, Washington, Los Angeles and Singapore.
