Shanghai: Tai Chi, Pulse Reading, and TCM Wellness Tour

Join a wellness tour in Shanghai and experience Tai Chi, pulse reading, and TCM. Visit a local park, get a personalized health check, and taste a refreshing "Wellness Water."
Begin your day in a lush local park, the true heart of Shanghai’s morning life. This is where the city’s vibrant "Silver Generation" gathers for their daily energy boost. You won’t just be watching; you’ll be part of it.

The park is like a live gallery of ancient wisdom. From the graceful flow of Tai Chi to the rhythmic stretching of Baduanjin (Eight Brocades) and even spirited "sword dances," you’ll see various groups practicing different forms of Chinese longevity exercises.

Feel free to join any group that catches your eye. Your guide will help you follow the movements, explaining the philosophy behind these "Chinese Yoga" routines—how deep breathing and gentle stretching are used to unblock the body's energy for the day ahead.

Next, step into a historic TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) clinic. Here, a senior physician will perform Pulse Reading — a fascinating tactile diagnosis to provide personalized health insights.

Choose between Gua Sha (scraping), Cupping, or Moxibustion based on your body’s needs. These ancient techniques are designed to release toxins and unblock your body’s "Qi" (energy flow). Learn about powerful herbs and daily tonics like "Five-Red Soup" or sweet rice wine, and enjoy a herbal tea customized just for you.

Finally, visit a local tea house that brings the traditional apothecary into the modern day. This is a chance to see how the ancient philosophy of "Zhi Wei Bing" (prevention over cure) is practically applied in a simple, delicious cup of tea.

Your guide will walk you through the common roots and herbs used in these drinks, like red dates for energy or chrysanthemum for cooling, demystifying the ingredients you’ll see in Chinese kitchens and pharmacies. Choose a drink from a curated menu of herbal infusions. It’s the perfect way to pause and experience how "food and medicine share the same root" in Chinese culture.
