Move over, meditation apps – a free wood-chopping base in Zhejiang Province has become China’s unlikeliest wellness trend of 2026! 🔥 Visitors nationwide are flocking to swing axes, relieve stress, and even get shredded – one regular reportedly lost 10kg in three months through daily log-splitting sessions.
The site lets participants take home their chopped firewood, blending practical sustainability with primal therapy. "It’s like a ‘rage room’ meets CrossFit box," says Hangzhou college student Li Wei, 22. "After final exams, nothing beats hacking through a pine log!" 🪓
Local officials say the activity aligns with rural revitalization efforts while addressing urban mental health needs. With #WoodChoppingTherapy trending on Weibo, this might be 2026’s most unexpected form of self-care. Who knew lumberjack chic would go mainstream? 🌟
