Comment from member of a previous tour:

“I really enjoyed EVERY MINUTE. It’s true!

 I loved the whole thing. There were high points

 every single day. Amazing agenda.

So rich...so full. I was mesmerized at each turn,

so many cultural norms to observe,

besides all the exquisite locations we visited.

Thank you so much for ALL you did

to make this fantastic trip happen.”   K. Kunkel

Highlights of our Journey to Shangri-la

QiGongChinaTripsBanner

Experience the wonder of Shangri-La: Shangri-La is a secret kingdom, an earthly paradise, isolated from the outside world where people find peace and find almost eternal vibrant health. Some say Shangri-La is located near the Himalayas some say it is really a state of mind...finding peace within and cultivating vital good health at any age.  You may find both on our journey to Shangri-La, a town in northern Yunnan, near Tibet.

Shangri-La, our destination, like Shangri-La from the story is a peaceful and incredibly beautiful land guarded by a Lama Temple. We will stay in a lovely traditional Tibetan guest house located right between the Zongzanlin Monastery, built by the 5th Dalai Lama in 1679 and a small Tibetan village.  You will have time to explore with our group and on your own and experience the incredible sights, sounds, and the amazing energy of this unique and magical land.  

Explore Tibet, the roof top of the world where we stay in a beautiful Tibetan style hotel  in the heart of Lhasa where the Pilgrim’s Circuit goes right past our door. Tour the Potala Palace once home of the Dalai Lama; Jorkang Temple, considered the most beautiful and sacred temple in Tibet. 

● Learn about the daily life of Tibetan people as we visit traditional old style villages and are welcomed as guests of a Tibetan family in their home. Learn about Nomad Culture as we visit the Tibetan Grass Lands, Nomadic Herders in their tents, ride Yaks and picnic along the shore of incredibly beautiful turquoise Nam-Ttso Lake, the highest salt water lake in the world.

● Learn about Tibetan Medicine at the Tibetan Traditional Hospital; visit a Buddhist Nunnery near our hotel; shop for traditional art and handcrafts at Barkor,the famous 1,000 year old open market, right in the center of Lhasa; enjoy Tibetan Banquets and Dancing Shows

● Enjoy the picturesque old town of Lijiang with its cobble stone streets, stone bridges gracefully arching over canals fed by glacial streams overlooked by Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Visit Black Dragon Pool, Dongba Museum, Baisha Village, learn about the traditional life style of Naxi and other matriarchal cultures. Delectable food unique to Yunnan and Naxi Traditional Orchestra. Lijiang is one of the most charming spots in the world.

Visit Chengdu,in SW China, where we will tour the Giant Panda Research Center and bamboo park, learn about Giant Pandas, Red Pandas and how we can support the survival of these endangered species Even have an opportunity to hold and photograph adorable baby Pandas.  (with donation to Panda research) Enjoy the  Sichuan Opera with Mask Changing Shows and Hot Pot Dinner and other world famous Sichuan Cuisine.

Beijing:  Explore the Forbidden City, with 890 buildings, it was China’s royal palace for 6 centuries;  Temple of Heaven, where the emperor prayed for good harvests, a masterpiece of architecture and landscape; explore the Great Wall, one of the wonders of the world, stretching from the Yellow Sea in the east to the Gobi Desert, in the west.

● Benefit from (optional) daily Tai Chi and Qigong sessions including: Eight Extra Meridian Qigong, Anti-Ageing and Longevity Qigong, Stress Reduction Techniques, Five Element Theory, Daoist Inner Alchemy, Medical Qigong, Eight Brocades, Qigong Healing for yourself and others, Acupressure, Meditation and more...

 

Daily Qigong, Tai Chi, Meditation (optional) We will have Qigong and Tai Chi each morning featuring Eight Extra Meridian Qigong/Tai Chi. In the evenings we will have discussions of the day's events, philosophy, the more esoteric facets of Daoist cultivation and the spiritual aspects of "journey."

 

Eight Extra Meridian Qigong/Tai Chi is one of the most effective and powerful styles available today. It clears the body of toxins, stimulates the flow of Qi through the meridian system and energies and balances the nine chakras found only in Daoist Qigong.  Mark developed Eight Extra Meridian Qigong/Tai Chi from the insights he gained after practicing and teaching Tai Chi and Qigong for over 40 years. With regular practice it addresses most of the main causes of today's health problems. Sessions end with time set aside to allow integration of your three energetic bodies. The genuine state of balance and vitality that practicing this form creates results in students leaving class with a sense of profound well being.

Special sessions are also included in our itinerary, often in beautiful parks: Mark Johnson will teach Eight Extra Meridian Qigong; and Tai Chi for Seniors, Qigong Warm-Ups including stimulation and detox of every cell in the body; Five Healing Sounds and Colors; Joint Loosening; Internal Alchemy; Brain Stimulation Techniques and Integrating our Physical, Meridian and Auric Bodies.
