Small groups of around ten. The teachers, doctors, founders and operators we sit with are people we work with.
Visa walkthrough, station pickup, rooms, translators, teachers, food. You arrive at the platform with the rest already taken care of.
Bicultural hosts and local partners shape every itinerary on the ground. Every experience is built with local insight.
Group sizes stay deliberately small. There's space to talk, space not to. Nothing is mandatory.
Read the detail pages, see which one your week is asking for.
Send a few lines, or book 25 minutes with Simon.
Once we've spoken, we hold your room and walk you through the next steps.
We send the visa walkthrough, the apps list, the train guide.
We meet you at the station. The week begins quietly.


My name is Simon 吴可 Sällström — mixed Swedish-Chinese, born and raised in Stockholm.
It took me seven years to go back to China. The years of my 20s as a professional and entrepreneur flew by — long nights and high stress. As I approach my 30s, I am reminded how important it is that we take care of our health, at least one week a year.
I tried to find something like this. After failing to do that, I decided to put it together myself.
Read through the guides to understand what to expect and prepare before arriving in China.
