Sichuan immersionhidden in greeneryspiritual retreat

Neighboring Tibet, the province of Sichuan is traversed by a mountain range older than the Himalayas. Its sharp peaks and mist-shrouded forests paint a picture of China far removed from the soaring skylines of Shanghai or Beijing: Su Shien Valley is found in a forested setting reminiscent of the ancient engravings of a thousand-year-old civilization. This cradle of Taoism makes the hotel an ideal refuge for a spiritual retreat and an initiation into ‘the way’ of ancient China. The lodge houses rooms and suites, each an invitation to Zen-like contemplation, with elegantly minimalistic décor–light wood, raw stone and fluid lines–in total harmony with the forest. Rooms also feature large bay windows, inviting you to meditate to the rhythm of the wind in the trees, and open onto interior courtyards, some with private traditional soaking tub. Explore the forest on long hikes before slipping into the warm waters of the onsen and relaxing with a traditional treatment to the sound of the songbo, a local musical instrument. The main restaurant nestled in the bamboo grove serves Sichuanese cuisine that follows the rhythm of the seasons, in perfect harmony with Taoist philosophy.

Activities, excursions and other attractions during your stay at Su Shien Valley

Meditate with sacred scriptures

Central to Buddhism, the practice of vipassana permits the understanding of the four truths leading to Nirvana. The copying of sacred writings is innate to this, and allows for a dialogue between old and new generations. Whether you are Buddhist or not, this experience provides an opportunity to enter into meditation and achieve inner peace.

Mountain hiking

This gentle hike through the private valley of Sermon offers an unbelievable vantage point from which to take in the awesome Himalayan panorama. You'll encounter herbs cultivated for traditional Chinese medicine, better understand the lifestyle and culinary heritage of those that live on the mountains, and taste authentic local cuisine in the open air.

Experience the Himalayan singing bowl

The Himalayan singing bowl is an auditory healing technique that induces a state of inner harmony. The vibrations produced when the practitioner strikes the bowl create poly-harmonic frequencies that resonate with various areas of the body. Conducted to the scent of Chinese aloe incense, this traditional practice helps with relaxation and can also help with insomnia and anxiety.

Itinerary - Hangzhou-Chengdu, the art of the table

Enjoy six nights, and two versions, of China. From Hangzhou and its famous West Lake, in the province of Zhejiang, to the great city of Chengdu, in the heart of Sichuan: two stops and two opportunities to discover the incredible richness of Chinese gastronomy through its many varieties of tea and spices. <a href="https://www.relaischateaux.com/us/destinations/routes-du-bonheur/hangzhou-chengdu-the-art-of-the-table" target="_new"><b>See the itinerary</b></a>
