China Wellness Tour with Traditional Chinese Medicine Experience

Today you'll arrive in Shanghai. After meeting your private guide, you'll take a comfortable private car to your hotel and check in smoothly. Take some time to fully relax both your mind and body, and get ready for tomorrow's sightseeing tour of Shanghai.

In the morning, take a high-speed train from Shanghai to Huangshan (approximately 2.5 hours). Upon arrival, continue by private vehicle to Bishan Village, a peaceful village far removed from the bustle of the city, known for its rice fields and traditional Hui-style houses.

In the afternoon, enjoy a gentle walk through the village and surrounding countryside at your pace, and get a glimpse into the peaceful pace and understated beauty of rural Anhui life. You'll pass old stone bridges, shaded bamboo paths, and narrow alleyways lined with traditional houses.

Spend the morning immersed in village life alongside a local family. Pick fresh vegetables from the fields, draw water from an old well, and gather firewood as part of the area's traditional daily routines. Later, prepare an authentic countryside lunch over a wood-fired stove in a traditional courtyard kitchen, then sit together around a simple wooden table to enjoy the meal you've created, just like locals.

In the afternoon, join a local artisan to craft a traditional fish lantern, shaping the bamboo frame, sketching patterns, and decorating it with silk and dyes. Once finished, carry your handmade lantern and wander along the stone-paved paths as the sun sets a warm glow over old walls and tiled rooftops.

Mount Huangshan looks different from every angle, so today there is no need to hurry. If you are up early, head to a nearby viewpoint to watch the first light and drifting clouds over the peaks. Prefer a slower start? Stay in bed a little longer and begin the day when you're ready.

Later, make your way through the West Sea Scenic Area, where pine trees, granite peaks, and passing clouds create constantly changing views. Wander the mountain paths, stop at the viewpoints that catch your eye, and simply enjoy being in the landscape rather than trying to see everything.

The lighter schedule leaves room for spontaneous stops, photography, and a more leisurely experience of Mt. Huangshan.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, and take the cable car down the mountain and transfer to the railway station for your high-speed train to Hangzhou.

After about 3 hours, arrive in Hangzhou, where your local guide and driver will meet you and accompany you to your hotel.

After breakfast, your private driver and guide will take you to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport at the scheduled time. The fragrance of tea gardens, the gentle breeze by West Lake, and the sense of renewal and relaxation will stay with you long after your return home.
