Banyan Tree Lijiang

Nestled at the base of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Banyan Tree Lijiang in China sits alongside part of the historic Silk Road and offers privacy and luxury.

Surrounded by mystical foothills, Banyan Tree Lijiang offers a wide variety of accommodation. The stunning oriental architecture and carefully tended gardens give it a feeling of the exotic, while the tastefully designed interiors reflect the Naxi culture - a marriage of Han Chinese and Tibetan civilization - alongside the modern living.

The Bai Yun restaurant offers a Chinese banquet experience while the indoor and outdoor Ming Yue restaurant serves Western and Asian cuisine. There's also a fitness center, library, tennis court, and an award-winning spa.

Away from the property, guests can visit the quaint Old Town, or head on a scenic tour of Tiger Leaping Gorge on the Yangtze River. Return to the hotel and enjoy a guided yoga session or a treatment in the spa.
