¨C each traditional memento has a story to tell
about the misty
hamlet of Lijiang.
Lijiang is the
ancient capital of the Naxi kingdom and 2,400
meters above sea level on the Northwestern Yunnan
Plateau in China's southwest. Located along an
important trade route that was once part of the
Silk Road from Yunnan to Tibet, Lijiang was an
important center of commercial and cultural exchange.
Famous voyagers
who have lived here include Austrian-American
scholar-cum-botanist Dr Joseph Rock who introduced
Lijiang to the West in the early 20th century.
Rock was widely known as National Geographic's "man
in China". He lived in the Yuhu vicinity
in Lijiang in the 1930s and 1940s. He is remembered
for importing 80,000 exotic plant specimens in
Lijiang to America and also wrote articles such
as "Holy Mountains of the Outlaws" and "The
Land of the Yellow Lama". It is widely believed
that the Shangri-La James Hilton described in
his book "Lost Horizon" was based on
many articles written by Rock. At Yuhu, 10 kilometers
from Lijiang, you can visit a museum showcasing
Rock's memorabilia.
Another foreign
explorer associated with Lijiang is the Russian-born
Frenchman Peter Goullart who penned the book "Forgotten
Kingdom". He lived and worked in Lijiang
in the 1940s. A review in 1957 described Goullart's
literary work as "a book about paradise by
a man who lived there for nine years." Goullart
had high regard for the Naxi women who, in his
words, "silently and persistently, like the
roots of growing trees...evolved into a powerful
race."
How to get there:
-You can take a flight to Kunming International
Airport, followed by a 40-minute domestic flight
to Lijiang Airport.
-30 to 40-minute drive from Lijiang Airport to
Banyan Tree Lijiang.

Banyan Tree
Ringha is found in China's Yunnan province,
a mountainous area that has been designated
as the official Shangri-La by the Chinese government
and is part of Greater Tibet, both historically
and culturally. At 3,200 meters above sea level,
the setting is spectacular with day-trips and
overnight excursions taking you to divine mountain
peaks touched by the clouds, awe-inspiring ridges,
deep canyons, torrential rivers, mystical plateaus,
endless valleys, crystal-clear streams and the
most tranquil of lakes.
In true Banyan
Tree style, the resort architecture reflects
the local Tibetan culture. All 32 spacious lodges
and suites are traditional Tibetan farmhouses
with intricate woodcarvings, smoky fireplaces
and wooden balconies that have valley or river
views. Impressive pine pillars add enormous
character to both the interior and exterior
of each house. And of course, there is the heavenly
Banyan Tree Spa.
How to get there:
- Take a plane to Kunming International Airport,
followed by an internal 40-minute flight to
Diqing Airport in Shangri-La.
- 30 to 40-minute drive from Diqing Airport
in Shangri-la to Banyan Tree Ringha.
