What you can expect

  • Discover a calmer side of Shanghai through a unique Hanzi meditation experience near the Jade Buddha Temple.

    Begin in a peaceful space beside the temple, where your local host will introduce you to Hanzi (Chinese characters) and the practice of mindful writing.

    Learn the origins and meanings of selected Chinese characters through Chinese calligraphy and traditional Buddhist scripture copying. As you explore a new language, slow down, focus on each stroke, and allow the gentle rhythm of writing to guide you into a natural state of flow.

    After the session, your host will accompany you to the entrance of Jade Buddha Temple, where you can explore independently with the Basic option.

    For a deeper experience, choose Premium to continue your journey inside the temple with your local host. Discover the stories behind its architecture, Buddhist art, and Bodhisattvas while learning more about Chinese temple culture.

    As you explore, your host will guide you through a gentle walking meditation. Slow your pace, notice your breath, and become more aware of your surroundings.

    No previous experience with meditation, Chinese characters, or Buddhism is needed. Just bring your curiosity and an open mind.
