Days 2 and 3 in China were such a beautiful blend of exploration, observation, and soaking in the rhythm of life here. Since the dit da doctors take two days off every full and new moon, I spent the time wandering through Sanxiang and Zhuhai and letting the landscape unfold around me.
One of my favorite moments was finding a tiny park with a crystal-clear pond and watching a little crab swim from one patch of grass to another. It felt like the whole world paused for a breath.
I also ventured into a massive underground mall that is truly the size of a city block with winding halls and hundreds of shops selling everything you can imagine, from food to toys to electronics to clothes. The scale of the architecture here is unbelievable. Even the bus ride back to my hotel barely captured the sea of high rises that stretch across the skyline.
Dinner was its own adventure. One night I ate at a seafood restaurant where baskets of ocean creatures waited to be chosen. The next night I found myself in a place showcasing medicinal foods, fresh ingredients used for both nourishment and healing. In China, food and medicine are inseparable, and each meal becomes another opportunity to support the body and spirit.
This trip continues to remind me how deeply health is woven into daily life here, not as a chore but as a natural part of living well.
