Set around 2,000 metres above sea level, Banyan Tree Lijiang is designed around views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the traditional architecture of Yunnan. The resort lies near Shuhe and within reach of Lijiang’s old town, with spacious rooms, suites and villas arranged around courtyards, water features and landscaped grounds. Its atmosphere is quieter and more residential than a city hotel, combining mountain scenery, local design references, Chinese and Cantonese dining, spa facilities and a setting that feels closely connected to the region’s highland landscape.
