Arsenal are on tour in Shanghai, China, where the squad have been limbering up for the new season while also finding time to soak up a bit of local culture.

The tour has created something of a social media frenzy, with videos and photos of the Gunners' preseason escapades doing the rounds online.

One of the more popular fan events saw Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain and Mesut Ozil try their hands at kung-fu.

New signing Alexandre Lacazette was there too -- though by the look on his face he'd rather have been absolutely anywhere else.

Here's a round-up of the fun so far, including Lacazette's reluctant martial artistry and Laurent Koscielny, Olivier Giroud and Mohamed Elneny's altogether more sedate trip to sample green tea at Yuyuan Garden.

After finishing up their stint in Shanghai with a friendly against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, Arsenal then travel to play Chelsea in Beijing before jetting back to London to host Benfica, RB Leipzig and Sevilla in the Emirates Cup.
