The pulse radiating from Lijiang resonates with a symphony full of soul, peace and ethnic
harmony. To the north of this beautiful city arises majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain,
a sacred sanctuary which has protected the ethnic minorities and their unique cultures
since ancient times. Another local splendor is Lijiang’s Old Town, regarded as the Venice
of the Orient because of the many bridges and canals that lace through the maze of its
cobbled streets. This historic area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997
for its multi-ethnic charm, historical milieu and architectural landscape.
The Banyan Tree Lijiang’s luxurious villas reflect the rich fabric of the locale in their
design and furnishings. For souvenirs, visit the inimitable Banyan Tree Gallery and bring
home exclusive handicrafts – each traditional memento has a story to tell about
the misty hamlet of Lijiang.
