The luxurious resort villas in 5* Banyan Tree Lijiang, Yunnan reflect the rich fabric of this locale through their design and furnishings. Romance beckons in the form of an intimate suite dressed in an oriental palette of red, gold and black. The suites follow traditional sweeping roof designs, adapted from the local Naxi culture. Take in the rejuvenating morning air in the tranquillity of your private lawn in the Deluxe Suites and relive the ancient Chinese saying “To own a plot of land under your feet, and a piece of sky overhead is the ultimate luxury”. [slideshow] The pulse radiating from Lijiang itself resonates a symphony full of soul, peace and ethnic harmony. To the north of this beautiful city rises the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, a sacred sanctuary which has protected the ethnic minorities and their unique cultures since ancient times. Another splendour is the Old Town of Lijiang, regarded as the Venice of the Orient because of the many bridges and canals that lace through the maze of cobbled streets. This historic town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997 for its ethnic charm, historical milieu and architectural landscape.
