Banyan Tree Lijiang
Yunnan
Banyan Tree Lijiang draws on Naxi architecture beside Shuhe Ancient Town, beneath Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Grey-tiled roofs and courtyards shape a resort of 123 villas and suites, with Baisha Village also within reach. Accommodation includes mountain-view suites with private balconies and larger villas with gardens and private pools. The spa is joined by a library, tennis court, fitness centre and children’s club. Bicycle rental provides another way to explore the area, while yoga sessions add a quieter activity within the resort. Dining includes Cantonese cooking at Bai Yun and private meals arranged in a villa courtyard or at the pagoda.
