3-Days Experience Guide
Back to Nature, Awaken the Senses
At Banyan Tree Tengchong Mayu Valley, spend three days immersed in a forest oxygen bar, the rustic warmth of an ancient village, and precious hot springs—a sensory-awakening, soul-healing journey back to nature.
DAY 1
Morning
Savour a sumptous breakfast of local specialities at the hotel, featuring eight must-try delicacies to start your day. Immerse yourself in a natural forest sanctuary, breathe in the oxygen-rich air, unwind and embrace the tranquillity.
Afternoon
Set off on a Tengchong home-visit journey to Hemicun Village. Engage in heartfelt conversations with the villagers and discover the entire traditional process of oil pressing. Gather around a warm firepit and taste authentic farmhouse dishes cooked with the camellia oil you have pressed by hand. Amid the rising steam and homely aromas, experience the true, unadulterated flavours of the food.
Evening
Soak your body in the “premium rare” hot spring, feel the pulse of the earth’s core, and let the waters carry away the fatigue and stress of travel. Surrender to a deep, restorative self-healing session in nature.
DAY 2
Morning
Wake to the natural white noise of birdsong and flowing water, then join a guided Baduanjin (Eight Brocade) session to invigorate your body. After breakfast, venture to Longxia Stream – a pristine valley winding through dense forests and streams – where the rich biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains unfolds all around you.
Afternoon
Leisurely enjoy an afternoon tea amid the serene garden scenery of the hotel.
Evening
As the sun dips behind the mountains, take part in a calming sunset meditation. Afterwards, delight in a dinner of Tengyue cuisine crafted by the chef of Mingyue Restaurant using the finest local Tengchong ingredients. We highly recommend the signature Oil Lamp Chicken – gently slow-simmered for six hours over a lamp’s flame, yielding an exceptionally rich and aromatic broth.
DAY 3
Morning After breakfast, complete your check-out and depart with a refreshed body and mind, carrying the warm memories of your wellness retreat at Banyan Tree Tengchong Maya Valley.
