Inspired by traditional Asian healing philosophies, CHI treatments are based upon the principles of restoring balance and harmony to mind and body.

Signature therapies are based on the Five Elements Theory, in which Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth are in balance to harmonize with the positive Yang and negative Yin energy within the body. CHI also invites guests to indulge in memorable spa rituals such as the Enchanted Journey or Vitality Ritual, each combining several individual treatments to create a uniquely relaxing and healing experience.

A sanctuary of tranquility inspired by the legend of “Shangri-La,” CHI offers a range of specialized body, water, massage and facial therapies based on the ancient healing traditions, philosophies and rituals of China and the Himalayas.

In 2007, Baccarat AsiaSpa Awards conferred upon Jade Journey at CHI, The Spa at Pudong Shangri-La "Spa Treatment of the Year". In 2006, the spa was awarded "Interior Design of the Year" by Baccarat AsiaSpa, and Forbes.com selected CHI, The Spa at Pudong Shangri-La as one of the world's top hotel spas.

Understanding Ch’i

In traditional Asian philosophy, ch’i is the universal life force that governs well-being and personal vitality. For people to maintain good health, it is believed that ch’i must flow freely within the body.

Exercise, stretching, massage, hydrotherapy and movement of the mind through relaxation and meditation combine to assist the body's natural renewal, forming the basis of the CHI experience.
