Ever wondered why Sichuan’s giant pandas radiate pure zen? CGTN’s Ioana just dropped the ultimate guide to living ‘bashi’ – that effortlessly satisfying vibe – straight from China’s cultural heartland. 🌿
From sipping tea in Chengdu’s century-old teahouses (where locals gossip like it’s 1025) to gaping at the 71-meter-tall Leshan Giant Buddha, this journey’s a masterclass in slowing down. Ioana tried traditional ear cleaning (yes, it’s a thing), leveled up her wellness game with acupuncture, and even trained in Emei martial arts atop misty mountains. Spoiler: Pandas weren’t the only ones flexing chill skills.
Pro tip: The real magic? Sichuan’s ability to blend ancient traditions with modern ‘slow living’ goals. As one panda keeper joked: ‘Why stress when bamboo’s always on the menu?’ 🎋
