"This is my secret weapon against work burnout," Li says, flashing a three-session pass on her phone.

This scene is a snapshot of the growing wellness craze among urban Chinese.

From herbal teas to smartwatches, Chinese young people are leading a wellness revolution in the country that blends science, personalization and lifestyle. Youngsters see wellness as a daily act of optimization.
