Day 1
Arrive Nanchang
Tengwang Pavilion, the City of Porcelain exhibition, the night market by the river.
12 days
The pilgrimage — 1,500 years of sacred Jiangxi.
Twelve days. Five UNESCO sites. Buddhist monks, Taoist priests, porcelain masters, tea farmers — and the unhurried hours in between. A journey for those who travel to listen.
Twelve days is the journey we would design for ourselves. Five UNESCO sites, two multi-night retreats, a Wugong dawn above the cloud sea, and a capstone evening at a cliff-edge hotel suspended in a sacred gorge. Every hour considered. None of them rushed.
Highlights
Five UNESCO landscapes — Lushan, Longhu, Sanqingshan, Jingdezhen, Wuyuan
Private mentorship at a sixth-generation porcelain studio
Two nights inside Donglin Temple — dawn chant, vegetarian table, monk-led walks
Wugong Mountain pre-dawn — when the first peaks break the cloud sea
A final evening at Wangxian Valley, in a suite carved into the cliff face
Optional hours with a calligrapher, a tea master, or a Buddhist scholar
