Rachel Xia grew up navigating the worlds of Disney and Budweiser China, shaping how global brands speak to local hearts. Rania Zheng spent years at Amazon and Expedia, building products used by millions. We met as classmates in a joint US-China hospitality program — two people who understood, from the inside, what high-pressure careers quietly take from you.

We called it "hidden anxiety" — the kind that doesn't show up on a Monday morning but accumulates over years. We both felt it. And we both knew a weekend getaway wasn't the answer.

So we went looking for something real. We spent years on the ground across China — researching landscapes, meeting practitioners, tracing the healing traditions that had existed long before wellness became an industry. We built those journeys for Chinese travelers first. The results were consistent: guests arrived distracted and left transformed.

Puyu is how we share that with the world. Rooted in Eastern philosophy, designed with the precision of people who've lived in both worlds, and built with one intention: to offer you the retreat we once searched for ourselves.
