Begin your day with a visit to the Shangwu Boxing Gym for a Ba Duan Jin session. Under the guidance of a professional instructor, immerse yourself in the practice of the traditional Ba Duan Jin (Eight Brocades) exercises. Featuring gentle, flowing movements synchronised with steady breathing, this session works to unblock meridians, harmonise Qi and blood circulation, and alleviate physical fatigue.
Next, head to the Antai TCM Clinic for a signature wellness experience. Begin with a professional consultation by a senior Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner. Through the four diagnostic methods—observation, auscultation/olfaction, enquiry, and palpation—the practitioner will accurately assess your body constitution and identify any potential underlying imbalances, providing personalised wellness recommendations.
Afterwards, choose one of the following treatments: Gua Sha (scraping), Moxibustion, Acupuncture, or Meridian Relaxation Therapy. Utilising traditional TCM techniques, these treatments help clear meridian blockages, expel internal dampness, soothe muscle strain, and alleviate sub-optimal health conditions, allowing you to deeply experience the profound wisdom of TCM wellness.
For lunch, enjoy a meal at Zhongsu Medicinal Cuisine & Vegetarian Restaurant. This restaurant specialises in vegetarian cuisine rooted in the TCM philosophy of “medicine and food sharing the same origin.” Dishes are prepared using fresh, natural ingredients meticulously cooked alongside various medicinal herbs.
In the afternoon, head to the Yuequ Space · Cantonese Arts Workshop to handcraft wellness herbal sachets. A professional instructor will explain the therapeutic properties of various wellness herbs (such as mugwort, mint, dried tangerine peel, etc.). You will be guided in selecting the perfect combination of herbs to create your own personalised wellness sachet by hand-filling and sewing it yourself. This process is both relaxing and enjoyable; not only will you gain knowledge about herbal wellness, but you will also take home a unique souvenir. The faint herbal fragrance emitted by the sachet is known to calm the nerves, aid sleep, and ward off negative energy, making it a keepsake that is both practical and deeply meaningful.
Finally, visit the Guangdong Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Step into this specialised museum—which seamlessly integrates collection, exhibition, scientific research, and public education—to view a vast array of TCM artefacts, specimens, and ancient texts up close. Here, you can explore the origins and historical evolution of Traditional Chinese Medicine, learn about the morphology and therapeutic properties of various rare medicinal herbs, all while acquiring practical wellness knowledge and broadening your understanding of holistic health.
