What you can expect

Step away from the busy world and enter Maoshan, one of China’s most sacred Taoist mountains. This 2-day curated retreat invites you to explore ancient temples, practice authentic Taoist wellness techniques, enjoy monastic vegetarian cuisine, and take part in a traditional Taoist Blessing Ritual led by ordained priests.

Walk through centuries-old halls, caves, and shrines built since 492 AD, including Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace and Huayang Cave—the retreat site of famed Taoist master Tao Hongjing. At Huayang Hall, follow a Taoist master in gentle breathing, posture alignment, and quiet meditation. Experience an immersive introduction to the Taoist way of harmonising body and spirit.

Enjoy a peaceful night inside the temple complex area, surrounded by forests, fresh air, and complete tranquility. Visit Qianyuan Temple, the only Quanzhen Taoist nunnery in Jiangsu Province—an active monastic community with over a thousand years of heritage. Experience the authentic daily rhythm of Taoist life.

Participate in a traditional blessing ritual, a sacred ceremony for peace, clarity, and protection, including altar setup, scripture chanting, Taoist mudras & ritual steps, offering ceremony, and sending-off rites. Enjoy meals prepared according to Taoist dietary principles—simple, clean, and nourishing.
