After breakfast, drive from Hanzhong to Zhangliang Temple in Liuba County, a historic Taoist site in the Qinling foothills.
Check in at accommodation near the temple and begin your Taoist retreat program. Join introductory sessions of scripture chanting, seated meditation, Taiji, and Baduanjin (Eight Brocades), guided by local practitioners.

Learn key concepts of Taoist health culture and traditional “Daoist medicine”, with an emphasis on breathing, posture, and inner balance. When time permits, take a gentle walk to nearby viewpoints such as Mount Zibai (Zibaishan) to enjoy fresh mountain air and forest scenery.

Day 2 – Zhangliang Temple: Cultivation & Mountain Stillness

Continue the Taoist cultivation program at Zhangliang Temple. Your day may follow a simple rhythm of morning exercises (Taiji or Baduanjin), light meals, scripture recitation, and quiet meditation sessions.

Between activities, stroll slowly around the temple complex, follow small forest paths, or sit in shaded courtyards to fully absorb the calm mountain environment. The focus today is on slowing down, turning attention inward, and experiencing Daoist ideas in daily practice rather than just theory.

Isabella Moretti

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a Daoist retreat, but it ended up being one of the most grounding experiences I’ve had. The combination of Taiji, meditation, chanting, and simple forest walks slowly changed my pace of thinking. It wasn’t about learning philosophy intellectually—it was about experiencing it through the body.

Daniel Whitaker

What stood out was how structured simplicity can be. Every day felt minimal on the surface, but deeply intentional underneath. The breathing exercises and Baduanjin practice actually made me realize how disconnected I usually am from my own routine. David explained Daoist concepts in a very practical way, which made everything easier to connect with.

Aurélie Fontenay

The silence here is different. It doesn’t feel empty—it feels full. Walking through the mountain paths behind Zhangliang Temple, I started noticing sounds I normally ignore. By the second day, even simple meals felt meaningful. I didn’t expect a retreat to affect my attention this much.
