Who it is for

You will know if it's yours.

Primary

Curious, energetic people who want to see modern China up close — its medicine, its tech, its cities — with a small group and good guides.

— also

Founders, operators, and investors who want a real read on the country.

— also

Anyone who already did the Yin retreat and wants to keep going.

What you'll experience

We start with a full medical workup at one of China's best private hospitals: bloods, imaging, a TCM diagnosis, and a sit-down with a Western and an Eastern doctor in the same room.

Then we travel. Shanghai for the financial and creative scene, Hangzhou for the original tech campus and the West Lake, Shenzhen for hardware and the factories, Beijing for history and the policy world. Small group. Real meetings. No tour bus.

You leave with a clear baseline of your health, a working map of how China actually runs, and a handful of contacts who picked up the phone.
