Description

Begin your morning in a local park where Shanghai’s older generation practices Tai Chi and Baduanjin for energy and balance. Unlike watching from the sidelines, you will engage directly through a guided session led by a Tai Chi master, who will correct your posture and breathing while explaining the philosophy behind each movement.

Next, visit a historic Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic where a senior physician performs a pulse reading to offer personalized health insights. Based on your needs, choose between Gua Sha (scraping), cupping, or moxibustion—all ancient techniques designed to release toxins and improve energy flow.

Learn about herbal remedies such as 'Five-Red Soup' and sweet rice wine, then enjoy a customized herbal tea. The final stop is a modern tea house combining traditional apothecary practices with contemporary flavors, where your guide explains common herbs and their uses in Chinese health traditions.
