Travel and Study Tours are arranged based on different situations. Due to weather or other special circumstances, the study tour may be changed or canceled.
The temple is responsible for transportation fees. Students are responsible for entrance fees, meals, and accommodation costs. (The itinerary may change or the study tour may be canceled due to weather or other special reasons.)
Purpose: The purpose of travel is to learn and explore Daoism, and to understand the history and culture surrounding this ancient art. As Li Shifu rarely leaves the temple gate this is a rare opportunity to travel alongside him to Daoist and China’s sacred locations.
Locations: Possible 2 to 3-day field trip to some of the following locations after a course: Wudang Cultural Research Center, Daoist Academy, Wudang Mountain, Fuxi Mausoleum, Laojun Terrace, Zhang Zhongjing’s Former Residence in Nanyang. More informaction about the travel plans click here.
If you have enrolled in two or more consecutive courses, the time between these courses can be used for volunteering and staying at the temple for free.
If needed, students may stay 3 to 5 days before or after a course free of charge.
The minimum number of students required for this course is 8. We reserve the right to cancel the course 2 months prior to course commencement if the requirement is not met. Anyone honestly interested in taking part in this course is required to submit an application (download here). The decision for acceptance will be made within 3 weeks. After the student is accepted, deposit must be made in order to secure his/her place in the course.
If for some reason students decide not to stay at the temple, the deposit will not be refunded and they must leave China, since the responsibility for their visas falls on the temple. If a student is unable to attend the course, we reserve the right to keep the deposit as this may have taken an opportunity away from someone else to join the course. If for any serious, unforeseen reason (family bereavement, etc.) you are unable to attend the course, the deposit can be used towards another course (same or different) in the current year or the next year. If the course is canceled the deposit will be refunded in full. For more information on registration visit the contact page.
