In Chinese medicine, the key to your health and wellbeing is keeping your ‘qi’ balanced. On this tour, you can not only discover some of these age-old practices but enhance your wellbeing as you do so and explore the contrasts of modernity and rich culture and heritage of Chongqing as you do so.
Arrive in Chongqing where you’ll be met and transferred from the airport or railway station. Depending on your time of arrival, the rest of the day is yours to start soaking up the local culture.
Begin your morning with Ba Duan Jin, a traditional form of qigong in which eight flowing movements work to energise the body and calm the mind. From there, head into Chongqing, pausing at Liziba to witness one of the city’s most extraordinary sights – a light rail train threading its way through a residential building. The rest of the day is given over to Traditional Chinese Medicine, offering a rare chance to understand how this ancient practice approaches health, balance, and wellbeing. Sample different teas, each chosen for its healing properties. A pulse diagnosis reads the speed, strength, and rhythm of your pulse to assess your qi and blood balance, finishing with tailored advice on diet and lifestyle. A traditional massage works along the body’s meridians and acupuncture points to relieve tension and restore calm. Round off the afternoon pressing medicinal herbs into botanical specimens to keep as a memento of the day. Come evening, gather around the table for a classic Chongqing hot pot dinner.
Start the morning with another session of Ba Duan Jin before heading to Ciqikou Old Town. Wander its laneways, pause for tea at a traditional teahouse, and enjoy a performance of the legendary face-changing show — a breathtaking Sichuan art form in which performers switch elaborately painted masks in the blink of an eye. The afternoon is yours to unwind at one of Chongqing’s best hot springs, with over 50 pools infused with mineral-rich water and essential oils.
Today venture out of the city to Heishan Valley. In Chinese tradition, time spent in nature is believed to restore the body’s vital energy and bring the mind back into balance. Take a leisurely walk through this peaceful landscape, breathing in the fresh mountain air and letting the sounds of rushing streams and birdsong restore your sense of calm. Return to Chongqing as evening falls and board your Two Rivers Cruise with VIP tickets, drifting past the illuminated cliffside stilted houses of Hongyadong — one of the city’s most spectacular night-time sights
After breakfast, you’ll be transferred from your hotel to the airport or railway station for your onward journey.
The best times to visit China are in spring (April to May) and autumn, (September to October) when temperatures are warm and humidity low.
