Your clay boards follow the traditional plaster base formula used in ancient grotto murals, mixed with wheat straw and linen fibers. You can feel the raw, earthy, warm texture that canvas and paper simply cannot replicate. We provide natural mineral pigments such as azurite blue and cinnabar red, plus gilding relief techniques to recreate the golden ornate patterns of antique murals. Every clay board bears an irreplaceable natural texture, making your finished artwork utterly one-of-a-kind, with an aged charm echoing thousands of years of art history. Mass-market souvenirs all look identical, but your hand-painted clay mural holds the calm mood of your journey. Take your finished piece home to display on your desk, tea table or entryway; it also makes a far more thoughtful gift than generic trinkets.

Feel the pulse of traditional Chinese medicine through pulse diagnosis, healing tea, and cupping therapy — all guided by a licensed TCM practitioner. Get your hands on history: shape your own Terracotta Warrior figurine, craft a traditional sachet, try paper-cutting, and beat the earth to build a loess wall. Walk the ancient city wall at sunset, dress in Tang costume beneath the lantern-lit streets, and taste street food that has been perfected over generations. This is Xi’an not as a museum — but as a city that lives, breathes, and welcomes you into its rhythm. From morning markets to square dancing, from TCM pulse diagnosis to shaping your own warrior — this is Xi‘an not as a tourist, but as a temporary local.

You probably didn’t come to Shanghai expecting to get your hands on a real Qing dynasty book — let alone help restore one. This is one of those experiences that’s genuinely hard to find: step inside a local antique shop, work with an authentic book page from the late Qing dynasty, and spend two quiet hours doing something almost completely removed from modern life. Just you, your hands, and a piece of the past. And this isn’t a replica or a craft made to look old. You’ll be working with the real thing — a page that has survived for more than a century — learning how to repair it using traditional conservation techniques under the guidance of a professional book conservator. The page stays with the collection, where your restoration becomes part of its continuing story. You won’t find this at the usual Shanghai attractions — and that’s exactly the point.

The small-group format, carefully selected teas and authentic Shanghai settings create a bridge between China’s traditions and modern city life.
