High up on a plateau in southern China, with 18,000-ft. peaks looming overhead, Banyan Tree Lijiang offers seclusion and luxury in an exotic destination far off the beaten path.
EXPERIENCE
Pastel flowers and lush greenery surround Banyan Tree Lijiang Resort & Spa, but towering peaks are just a short trek away. A visit to the 18,000 ft. Shanzidou peak is a must-do, as is a scenic tour of Lijiang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nicknamed "the Venice of the Orient" due to its bridges, canals, and cobblestone streets.
The culture of the local Naxi people inspires the architecture that gives the resort its exotic appeal. Each of the 55 rooms and suites at Banyan Tree Lijiang Resort & Spa is a blend of Far Eastern design and modern flat-screen, in-room-dining luxury. Step out into your private garden or onto your balcony for an incredible view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
Of course the exotic doesn't end with the decór. The Moonlight Pagoda dinner will have you dining on flat rice noodles with yak meat, in the open air beneath a traditional Naxi-style pagoda. Or visit the Chinese banquet hall for a more raucous atmosphere fueled by the local plum wine.
