Wellness & Healing

Wellness & Healing身心疗愈

A gentle, guided first step into Chinese healing

Traditional Chinese medicine is a 2,000-year-old system most visitors never touch — or meet only as a tourist show. Our wellness experiences pair you with licensed practitioners in real clinical and retreat settings: a proper TCM consultation, tuina bodywork, qigong and meditation in parks and temples, hot springs in the mountains. Nothing here is medicine-as-performance, and nothing claims to cure. It is rest, rhythm, and an honest introduction to how a fifth of humanity looks after itself.

TCM Consultation & Tuina中医问诊 · 推拿

2 hours · Beijing, Hangzhou

A full traditional diagnosis with a licensed practitioner — pulse, tongue, questions — followed by tailored tuina bodywork.

Qigong with Monks气功

Morning · Hangzhou

Standing practice in a working monastery's courtyard, then a silent vegetarian temple lunch.

Mountain Hot-Spring Day温泉

Full day · Hangzhou, Beijing

Private pools in bamboo mountains, herbal soaks, and a slow dinner after — jet lag does not survive this.

Herbal Footbath & Tea Medicine足浴

An evening · Chengdu

The Sichuan version of unwinding: a proper herbal footbath, tea prescribed to your evening, and zero plans afterward.

Who these are for

  • Travelers curious about TCM who want a real first session, not a demo

  • Anyone recovering from long flights and long years — rest is built into these journeys

  • Couples and small groups mixing wellness mornings with sightseeing afternoons

  • Practitioners of yoga, meditation, or martial arts seeking the source traditions

How wellness joins a journey

Every wellness experience can stand alone or join a tour. Most travelers pair a morning session — TCM consultation, qigong, a medicinal-diet lunch — with afternoons of walking, food, and sights. Our Healing Hangzhou and Wellness Route journeys are built exactly this way: half restoration, half discovery.

A note on honesty: these are cultural and restorative experiences with licensed practitioners. We make no medical claims and replace no one's doctor. Read what a first session is actually like.
