Banyan Tree Ringha in Yunnan province is the ultimate secluded hideaway. At 3,200 meters above sea level, the setting is certainly spectacular. Each season has its unique charm, from serene winters to fresh and vibrant summers. With such a kaleidoscope of seasonal experiences, outings are far from the ordinary. The landscape can be explored by taking short day-trips and overnight excursions to divine mountain peaks, awe-inspiring ridges, deep canyons, torrential rivers, crystal-clear streams and tranquil lakes.In true Banyan Tree style, the resort architecture reflects the local Tibetan culture. All lodges 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.
