Banyan Tree Tengchong
Memories to Last a Lifetime
At Banyan Tree Tengchong, we create a sanctuary of the senses where nature and culture set the stage for exploration, restoration, and authentic local encounters. Nestled at the foot of the Gaoligong Mountains, beside natural hot springs and ancient villages, the resort is both a secluded retreat and a gateway to the living heritage of Western Yunnan. Here, you may stroll through terraced fields, discover intangible cultural traditions, soak beneath the stars in a private hot spring, or trek into the hidden wonders of the Gaoligong. Every moment unfolds into a rare and lasting memory—an intimate dialogue with self, nature, and tradition.
