Every new journey sees a change of scene, but few are a shift in consciousness. Joey Yap’s China Excursion has pioneered taking travellers beyond cultural sightseeing for decades. It’s an open invitation to walk with dragons, to breathe among sacred mountains and be inspired, literally. 

Curated and led personally by Dato’ Joey Yap, the annual trip has covered select locations in Shanxi, Shandong, and Anhui provinces, among others. If you’re seeking personal transformation from a direct experience of classical Feng Shui in its origins, look no further. 

You’ll gain access to energetically powerful sites such as mountain temples, burial grounds, and remote landforms. These are often located far from the madding crowd, hidden in the folds of earth reaching towards the sky.

Unlike any conventional guided tour, travellers play the starring role while rewriting the script of their lives. You’ll find yourself at vantage points with unrivalled panoramic views that offer you new perspectives on existential issues. You’ll learn how to align and flow with Qi by applying principles of Xuan Kong Feng Shui, Qi Men Dun Jia, and BaZi. 

Yeo Ai Lee from Malaysia shares this experience: “This was the first time I felt my whole body trembling and full of Qi. Tears were falling down, and I was relieving all my past anguish and anxiety. It’s a place people should come to attain peace, happiness, and truly feel themselves again.”

This practical immersion is one of the most impactful aspects of the journey. For students of Feng Shui, especially, the land becomes the teacher, mountains and rivers are living diagrams of Qi flow.

Pamilia Caparelli, who’s so far joined two consecutive excursions, has this observation: “We’ve seen landforms that completely give clarity to all the books we learned in Feng Shui with Joey. The terrain literally brings the theory to life.”

From following the contours of dragon veins to the orientation of Yin House tombs, the direct experience of classical principles embedded in ancient architecture and geography is priceless.

Participants speak of moments of clarity and emotional release that happen while they’re in meditation, or when the Qi of the environment was conducive to harmonising one’s essence, energy, and spirit. 

So much so that the China Excursion has birthed a supportive community of over a hundred fellow travellers from around the world, learning from each other as well as from Joey.

“To be able to cultivate such a huge group of like-minded people is truly amazing,” says Shirley T. from Los Angeles. ”The chance to pick everyone’s brain and come together was a very inspirational experience for me.”  

All this, from reacquaintance with the self as a conduit between Heaven and Earth. As Elvis Ang from Singapore observes, “With the locations Dato’ Joey Yap chose, which are not touristy areas, they really found places with great energy. I have never felt something like this anywhere else.”
