What to expect

  1. Shanghai
    1h
    Part I: Mindful Movement — Private Chen-Style Tai Chi 1 hour(Indoor Studio)
    Your wellness journey begins in a private, quiet indoor space designed for focused, mindful learning. Here, you will train with a professional master from the legendary Chenjiagou lineage—the birthplace and recognized historical "root" of all Tai Chi.
    Unlike the simplified, purely slow-motion routines commonly seen in tourist areas, you will learn authentic Chen-style movements. The focus of this session is "Chansijin" (Silk-Reeling Energy): a specialized head-to-toe helical movement that acts like gently wringing out a wet towel. This precise, spiraling motion targets and activates the deep stabilizing muscles rarely used in conventional gym workouts. It is a highly practical, modern body restoration routine disguised as an ancient martial art—instantly unlocking stiff shoulders, tight lower backs, and neck tension built up from desk-bound daily life.

Guided by your translator-guide, you will tour the state-of-the-art Museum of TCM to explore the fascinating history of acupuncture, ancient medical texts, and diagnostic philosophies. Afterward, take a peaceful stroll through the "Baicao Garden" (Herb Garden) to see, touch, and learn about the diverse native plants and natural botanicals used to restore internal balance.

You can choose one of four traditional treatments:Tuina Massage / Handmade Moxibustion / Guasha + Cupping /Acupuncture
