10 years ago - the town was 1/3 smaller. So much has been thrown up so quickly here as so much in China. But Lijiang did a decent job with it all and so did Banyan Tree here. But keep this in mind when comparing it to other BT's or high end resorts. The setting is pretty stunning and the... More

Impressed by seanally view backed by high mountains. Enjoyed very private cottage stay with jacuzzi and garden where I could be relaxed by just sitting garden chair with sipping Chinese tea. Ten minutes to walk to reach old city where we can experience old China like time slip by 1000years. We should come back again in October.

We spent 3 nights only and I wish we could stay longer. The driver Ricky from Banyan picked us up from the airport and transfer us to the resort with a brand new comfort U.S imported SUV, super comfortable. The drive was about 35 mins from airport to resort. The service for check in was great and the private tour... More

Magnificent view but the fridge is not working, furnitures are collapsing...umbrella is broken, no Chinese official receipt if you book through Agoda. Anyway we enjoyed our stay, the mountain view is fabulous, bath's good.

We had the garden villa with our own jacuzzi, everything was very well maintained. The service from all staff members was excellent and even... More

The location and views are amazing, and the service is great -- highly personalized and very accommodating. The tour guide was wonderful. Strongly recommended for a special occasion (when you can afford to treat yourself).

We stayed in a two bedroom villa with a fantastic view of the jade dragon snow mountain . With the clear blue skies during our stay in april we couldn't ask for more. However the villa , though uber luxurious and the size of a good class bungalow , needed some maintenance . The sink didn't drain properly and one... More

This was by far the best place I have ever stayed at. The staff were amazing, and so were the facilities. Most importantly, the resort was so incredibly beautiful. We were shocked at just how amazing the view was... from everywhere! From our bed, from the balcony, from the restaurant, from the entrance! On top of this, Banyan Tree was... More

The city is so charming and you drive about 30 minutes out and arrive at the Banyan Tree. the first sight is Dragon Snow Mountain in the distance and you will know you arrived in paradise. Facilites are exceptional and our room was a suite with private garden and views of the Dragon Snow Mountain.
