Location
Nestled in Baisha Town, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang, Lán·Shanying sits on the prime front viewing zone of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, offering an unobstructed view of the Thirteen Snow Peaks. Longnv Lake Scenic Area is within walking distance. It takes about 2 minutes by car to reach Baisha Ancient Town, 15 minutes to the entrance of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Spot, and 30 minutes to downtown Lijiang. Secluded in tranquil mountains yet well-connected to major tourist attractions, it is an ideal retreat for a snow mountain getaway.
Design Concept
Adopting the design theme "Snow Mountain as the curtain, mountain shadows as the realm", the resort was elaborately crafted by a local design team over two years with meticulous attention to every detail. Built in harmony with the natural terrain, it blends the texture of traditional Naxi stone dwellings with modern wild luxury aesthetics. Following the core principle of "bringing scenery indoors", the spatial layout allows the beauty of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to flow through every corner.
Covering a total area of around 3,000 square meters, the resort features a nearly 1,000-square-meter unobstructed sky viewing terrace. Both public areas and guest rooms are designed around landscape appreciation. It stands out as an upscale panoramic snow mountain resort rarely found in the Baisha area.
Features & Facilities
Our sprawling 1,000-square-meter sky viewing terrace delivers a 270° panoramic view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, boasting one of the finest vistas in the neighborhood. Equipped with casual tea lounges, viewing zones and rest areas, it lets you admire golden morning glow over snow peaks, gorgeous sunset hues and brilliant starry skies at night, for an all-round immersive experience of alpine scenery.
We provide two signature amenities: an infinity swimming pool and exclusive private hot springs, both facing the snow mountain directly. You can feast your eyes on the full grandeur of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain while swimming or soaking, and embrace the snow-capped peaks in an unforgettable immersive retreat.
Every guest room is fitted with full-length panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can enjoy stunning mountain views right indoors. The entire property is equipped with underfloor heating and smart room control systems, along with premium custom bedding and branded toiletries, perfectly combining breathtaking views and supreme comfort.
