Family Life in the Orient

Family life plays a major role in oriental society and we’ve handpicked a few insider access opportunities to enable our guests to visit a local family and learn just how important it is.

City Life in Beijing

In Beijing, visit a local family, discuss daily life and, most importantly, learn the technique for making delicious home-style dumplings as you all gather round and chat.

Farmer Life in Sanjiang

In Sanjiang, local farmers welcome our guests into their home to share stories of a more rural lifestyle. Local minority groups also give a small ceremony.

Mountain Life in Tibet

In Tibet, guests learn how to make yak butter tea with the elderly, in the comfort of a Tibetan home. They can appreciate the unique architecture of the house, constructed with wood and clay.

Health and Wellbeing in the Orient

Health and wellbeing is presented as a balance of Yin and Yang. We’ve selected the perfect activities to help guests achieve that balance during their trip to the Orient.

Herbal Medicine in Hong Kong

For decades, the Chinese have practiced the tradition of Herbal Medicine. In Hong Kong, guests are able to speak with a well-known Herbal Medicine Doctor to learn how they can improve their body and lives. The chat is followed by a relaxing and healing foot massage.

Diet Planning in China

Diet plays a major role of healing in China. We’ve paired together a medicine practitioner and a cook to work with guests and design a menu to boost their energy and well-being.

Healthy rituals in Lhasa

In Lhasa, a monk can perform a private ceremony reciting special scriptures for wealth and health.

Offering a special well-wishing ceremony with a Tibetan dignitary allows guests to experience first-hand the mystery of the Tibetan tradition and culture.

Adventures in the Orient

Travel to China and the Far East is about more than just culture and history. We’ve put together some activities and experiences along the road less travelled.

Sand Dunes along the Silk Road

For a quick burst of fun, guests can ride a camel up to the top of the sand dunes, as is traditional. Then, once at the top, they can adorn sand skies or a sandboard and ride back down in a faster, less traditional way.

Helicopter Ride over Yangshuo

A helicopter ride over the Yulong River, the Site of Impression of Liusanjie, Fuli Old town, Li River, and Sanse Lake allows guests to appreciate this mountainous region from above.

Side Cars in Shanghai

We’ll take guests from the French Concessions’ 1930s art deco period to today’s blend of modern and traditional, but rather than walking or driving, they’ll be in in a side car!
