Journey above the clouds to discover the history, culture, and traditions that converged along China’s ancient trade route.
We’re thrilled to announce a new journey we’ve designed and developed together to provide a deeper immersion into the Ancient Tea and Horse Caravan Road that stretched from Southern Yunnan to Tibet.
The Bivou, Lijiang
The Bivou, which derives its name from the old Swiss word for ‘temporary encampment’, offers itself up as both an ideal resting spot, as well as a convenient launching point into the vast wilderness of Southern China. This charming establishment is located at the foot of the Yulong Mountain and everything from the interior bamboo floors to the solar-powered heating system is a testament to the establishment’s sustainability pledge. Wake up every morning to an array of fresh fruit and homemade granola, complimented nicely with seasonal jams and local honey. Then, once you feel energized from the healthy offerings and crisp mountain air, set out to slake your wanderlust.
Songtsam Benzilan Lodge
Tucked away in a lush, green valley along the Yangtze River, the Songtsam Benzilan Lodge is an isolated, spiritual retreat. Let relaxation find you on a long stroll through fields of barley and orchards dotted with white-washed Tibetan homes. Then, immerse yourself in the culture of your surroundings, with visits to mural-clad stupas, monasteries, and ancient pottery studios.
Songtsam Meili Lodge
From its place overlooking the Meili Snow Mountain Range, the Songtsam Meili sets a new bar for escapism. The hotel blends discreetly into the village that surrounds it, elegantly bridging the gap between comfort and adventure, traveler and community. Whether you choose to stroll the streets, hike into the snows, or just watch the skies turn a vibrant pink as the sun rises, the rooms at the Songtsam Meili will be a welcome retreat.
Songtsam Linka Shangri-La
With 75 rooms in 24 buildings, the Songtsam Linka Shangri-La is sprawling accommodation nestled in the mountains of Shangri-La. The retreat houses vast collections of Tibetan-style wooden furniture, traditional carpets, wooden paintings, and copper artifacts. With gorgeous surrounding scenery and incredible traditional interior design, the Songtsam Linka Shangri-La is a haven for those interested in art or Tibetan culture and provides a truly authentic experience for all guests.
