The famed benefits of Chinese health treatments and practices are being brought to Palestine thanks to the work of a Chinese born beautician.

Li Yuelian moved to Nablus in the northern West Bank of Palestine 5 years ago.

As a qualified intermediate beautician, certificated by the Chinese authorities, Li Yuelian came up with the idea of introducing local people to Chinese health keeping concepts, as well as the way Chinese people socialize. 

She opened her Chinese Center, a health preservation & beauty salon with a floor space of over 200 square meters, at her second home in September, 2015. It's proved very popular.

Much of the equipment in Li's salon displays the label "Made in China", including the sauna house and the bathtubs.

Originally from Quanzhou, southeast China's Fujian province, the mother of three used to work in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong province, where she met her husband of 13 years.

The couple lived in China for 7 years, running an import and export company, before moving to Palestine.
