Root Living was born from a desire to explore a different way of living — one that brings us closer to nature, local culture, and ourselves.
Based in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China, we create experiences that connect tea, yoga, nature, and culture, inviting people to discover this unique part of China beyond the usual tourist routes.

We offer retreat journeys and local experiences that bring together tea, yoga, nature, and culture in meaningful ways.

We also provide personalized journeys and local travel support, including guiding, translation, transportation, and accommodation arrangements, helping visitors explore the region in ways that suit their interests and pace.
