The 6 day retreat in Wuyishan was exactly what I was looking for — a chance to step away from the city, slow down, relax, and reconnect with nature. At the same time, it offered meaningful opportunities to learn about Chinese tea culture and aspects of TCM. Everything about the retreat felt so carefully and thoughtfully curated. The food was delicious, the accommodation was comfortable, and the valley environment was incredibly tranquil. Everyone there was warm and welcoming, and all the practitioners were professional, genuine, and generous in sharing their knowledge. One of my favourite moments was enjoying a warm cup of tea by the stream and in the bamboo forest — such a simple yet unforgettable experience. I also appreciated the scheduled Zoom call before the trip, which helped clarify any doubts and made me feel well-prepared. Overall, the retreat has helped nourished both the body and the mind. I met a group of amazing people during the retreat and left with a deeper understanding of my own wellness. I would highly recommend this retreat and looking forward to another Puyu Retreat! :)

I had an amazing experience at the 6 Day Tea & TCM Wellness Immersion Retreat in Wuyi National Park. I loved waking up every morning surrounded by mountains and trees. It was the perfect setting to slow down and reconnect with nature. The meals were incredibly nourishing, and the itinerary felt so carefully and thoughtfully designed. I learned so much from the team, who were all deeply passionate and knowledgeable in their fields. I originally came for the tea aspect, but I left with so much more, new insights, practices, and a deeper appreciation for the culture and environment. Overall, the retreat felt authentic, calming, and truly rejuvenating. I’m very grateful for the experience and would highly recommend it.

I joined the 6 Day Wellness Immersion Retreat in WuyiShan with PuyuRetreat, and the experience was truly amazing. The UNESCO site is renowned for its natural beauty, the Nine Bend River, and its famous tea culture. We stayed in a serene valley surrounded by organic farms and a small laboratory where they create their own products from local herbs and flowers. Throughout the retreat, we hiked, explored scenic spots, visited tea plantations and tea houses, learned about tea culture, and drank plenty of incredible tea. We were also introduced to TCM and the medicinal properties of the valley’s herbs and flowers. Every meal was delicious, especially the nourishing soups. One of the most meaningful parts was meeting the people in the community—many of whom left big-city careers to pursue a slower, healthier lifestyle. Their calm, peaceful, and authentic energy was truly inspiring. I don’t usually join tour groups, but this retreat was very special and never felt commercial. The itinerary was relaxed, giving us time to fully enjoy every activity. For instance, we spent the entire afternoon drinking tea with a young family in their beautiful hilltop tea house until sunset—an unforgettable moment. It is a slow journey and not a tour. The organizers and translator of the retreat were absolutely lovely — young, educated, caring, fun, and committed to living holistically. Our group bonded quickly, and we shared so much laughter and joy. I left feeling inspired and calm. I am hopeful that I can bring a bit of what I learned into my own life. My heart is full, and I'm deeply grateful for this experience - I truly and wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking something meaningful and rejuvenating.

I joined the Wuyishan retreat in Nov 2025, and it was a delightfully fruitful experience. The program was thoughtfully curated, and we got to meet with practitioners and experts in the art of tea and various wellness philosophies - the learnings were meaningful and not superficial. The valley where we stayed is beautiful, and I personally really enjoyed the blend of nature and tea+TCM. I returned home with a renewed spark of vitality! It's also great that Puyu Retreat is really transparent about the itineraries right from the start - I believe it helps to gather a nice group of people who would enjoy the retreat. Most of us came solo and we enjoyed everyone's company. I hope to join another Puyu Retreat again in the future!
