Experiences

Shanghai of the 1930s was a builders' paradise, as the Depression-free city expanded with its growing Chinese middle classes. They chose to build in different versions of the then fashionable Art Deco style, most of which still remains. Visit the city's best iconic period architecture, and discover the who's and why's of this popular Shanghai trademark.

Although Hongkong is one of the most modern cities on the planet, it is home to a surprising number of religious buildings. Left untouched by the Cultural Revolution in Mainland China, these structures – whether Eastern or Western in origin – remain in use and open to the public today. Explore some of these temples, churches and shrines in this exploration of the SAR's spiritual side.

TCM, with 2000-3000 years of history, is a comprehensive philosophy and practice towards preventing, diagnosing and curing illness. Our TCM experiences begin with qigong at sunrise, followed by a visit to the city's best TCM centre for an interview and personal diagnosis, then off to one or more traditional curing procedures: bathing, tui-na massage, etc.

Learn about the healing aspects of Chinese culture through cuisine and experience the healing power of China with a tea ceremony amidst the notes of traditional musical instruments.
