Shushan Sword Retreat
Journey Highlights
About This Journey
Shushan encompasses the mountains rimming the Sichuan Basin — centered on Mount Emei and Jianmen Pass. This route starts at the ancient Jianmen Pass poet-road, through the ancient cypress corridor of Cuiyun Gallery, to Mount Emei's Golden Summit. The core is three sword-culture workshops: morning Taiji sword, bamboo-forest sword formation, and night-walk on the Jianmen cliff boardwalk. Includes a martial-arts instructor and Mount Emei Buddhist culture guide. Lodging: Jianmen Old Town inn + Emei foothills hot-spring hotel.
