LUX* Resorts & Hotels this week launched Lux Lijiang in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Lijiang, following a recent unveiling of adventure circuit, Lux Tea Horse Road.
Situated at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the boutique hotel was constructed with traditional timber frames found in Naxi architecture. Its six Superior Rooms, two Deluxe Rooms and two Junior Suites offer views over tranquil courtyards and picturesque rooftops.
Lux Lijiang also comes with a tea house and library.
The hotel can act as a base for travellers keen to explore the Lux Tea Horse Road, which can be done on foot, bicycle or horseback. Traversing Yunnan and Szechuan provinces, the legendary trail once stretched from Pu’er, Yunnan to Lhasa, Tibet, and supported the trade of Chinese tea in exchange for salt and Tibetan horses. Lux tour guides can also arrange a private audience with Dongba shamans.
Paul Jones, CEO, Lux Resorts & Hotels, said: “In a comparatively short time, we have built a strong and growing Chinese customer base for our existing operations in the Indian Ocean. Our intention now is to create the journey of a lifetime for these guests in this most special part of their home country.”
