Deep in the mountainous northwest region of Yunnan, LUX* Tea Horse Road China has launched four additional retreats to complement the existing boutique hotels in Lijiang and Benzilan along the 1,300-year old trade route. The four retreats are all set against the backdrop of majestic mountain peaks, lush valleys and deep gorges. Each retreat is thoughtfully conceptualised to encapsulate the laid-back, natural surroundings whilst offering functional contemporary aesthetics. They are located in Jibeike where peach orchards cover the entire valley in pink blossoms during spring; Sangushui with its lush vegetation, waterfalls and natural springs; Daju Village which is known for its majestic views of the snow-capped Jade Dragon Snow Mountain; and Baoshan Stone Town perched on a rocky cliff with striking views of terraced fields, winding golden river and houses built from natural stones.
