Discover a quieter side of China through Yunnan’s ancient tea forests, where centuries-old tea trees grow within the rainforest. Hike to the mountain summit, explore the living tea culture of Xishuangbanna, and slow down with Somatic Yin.
Why This Is Different
This experience brings together ancient tea forest ecology, Chinese tea culture, natural hiking and Somatic Yin in one journey — offering a more personal and off-the-beaten-path way to experience Yunnan beyond conventional sightseeing.
What You’ll Experience

01 — Ancient Tea Forest Hiking
Hike through an ancient tea forest where tea trees grow within the surrounding forest as an understory crop, while discovering the local tea culture, tea ancestor traditions, and a generations-old relationship between people, tea and nature.
02 — Somatic Yin Yoga
At the summit, slow down with a gentle Somatic Yin practice combining stretching, breathwork and meditation, surrounded by the forest.
03 — Walk Back Through the Forest
Take a relaxed downhill walk through the forest, carrying with you a deeper sense of the landscape, its tea culture and the way local life has evolved alongside nature.
This Experience Is For You

This experience is for travelers looking to explore Yunnan beyond the usual tourist routes — especially those interested in nature, Chinese tea culture, ancient tea trees, local traditions, hiking, yoga and slower travel.
You do not need previous hiking or yoga experience.
What You May Take Away
A deeper understanding of the relationship between tea, people and nature in Yunnan, together with the feeling of having slowed down, moved through the forest and experienced the landscape with your whole body.
