Since 1999 Qigong Master Simon Blow has been personally leading unique Study Tours to China. We visit China not only to view the beautiful scenery, but mainly to absorb the ancient wisdom and contact the Qi at the sacred mountains. Travelling with a smaller, dedicated group allows us to move more freely and make morning Qigong practice an enjoyable way to start each day. We study with Qigong Grand Masters, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Professors, Daoist Priests and Buddhist Monks and receive formal training and certification. These tours are designed for the true Qigong enthusiast wanting to go to the source and for those wanting to increase their understanding of Qi energy and tour a fascinating country.
All tours have an element of study combined with cultural activities and sightseeing. We visit Traditional Chinese Medicine hospitals and universities; temples and monasteries; we will meet Masters of traditional painting and calligraphy and be entertained by local choir and music groups. We explore the countryside visiting the sacred mountains, following the ancient tradition practices. As we meditate together here with Grand Masters. The Qi will always be with you.
Climbing the Great Wall, feeling the energy at the temples and meeting the masters made for a perfect balance of tourism and Qigong learning. Our small group was such a delight, filled with love, support and heaps of fun.

The 1999 tour with Simon Blow was by far the best of my three China tours led by Qigong masters. It had a more dedicated focus on meeting Qigong Masters who were happy to share their techniques. Simon provided a tour schedule that created more free time so we could also get
a feel for local culture and lifestyle either together or individually

My sincere gratitude goes to Master Simon Blow for making this journey possible.
A short pilgrimage that has deepened my feelings for China and its people, a deeper understanding and appreciation for the magical gifts of Qigong. The whole experience was heart opening and enriching in all areas of my being – spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally. Although every aspect of the tour was professionally provided with excellence, there are two things that will remain in my heart; they are the soul and essence of the people and Mt Wudang. The splendor and magical spirit of the mountain remains in my consciousness and presence. I find myself often returning back to Mt Wudang.
My qigong practice is forever enriched!! I continue this path towards natural harmony and the cultivation of nothingness, the true essence of the Universe and our existence.
It was great to travel with like minded people to share this experience. I’m thankful for all the love, laughter and fun they’ve brought into my life while we were away. I hope our worlds will collide once again

Dear Simon, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed my trip to China with your group. I found it extremely balanced journey. WE had Qigong and meditation practice for part of the day and then forays into the ancient culture through visits to historic palaces and temples as well as demonstrations of traditional arts of silk making, closeness and jade factories. I loved every minute of it. I was particularly impressed with the flexibility you had built into the program which allowed us to follow our own interests and the care shown in enabling us to get the maxi um benefit out of our journey

Wudangshan – Wudang Mountain in Hubei province is one of the scared Daoist Mountains and a UNESCO World Heritage area. We are fortunate to have been to this amazing place on many occasions and built a strong bond with Grand Master Zhong Yun Long the lineage holder of the Wudang San Feng sect and the main master on the mountain. We will have a 5 day training on the Wudang Five Animals Qigong overseen by Grand Master Zhong with plenty of time to visit the historical sites and to relax in this beautiful mountain wilderness.
Wuhan – is a large city built in ancient times on junction of the Yangtze and Han rivers and is the capital of Hubei province. We visit here mainly to spend time at the Chang Chun Guan or Eternal Spring Daoist Monastery which is the headquarters for Daoism in Hubei province.
