The Wellness Route
Beijing · Chengdu · Hangzhou
2–6 travelers 9 days Beijing · Chengdu · Hangzhou Monthly, April–October
Our signature long journey for the restorative traveler: TCM in Beijing, Sichuan's slow arts in Chengdu, tea and temple practice in Hangzhou — with all the great sights between.
How wellness fits this journey
Three cities, three registers of the same tradition: clinical TCM in the capital, the teahouse arts of the southwest, and monastic practice by West Lake. Mornings restore, afternoons discover.
