HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Banyan Tree Ringha is found in China's Yunnan province, a mountainous area that has been designated as the official Shangri-La by the Chinese government and is part of Greater Tibet, both historically and culturally. At 3,200 meters above sea level, the setting is spectacular with day-trips and overnight excursions taking you to divine mountain peaks touched by the clouds, awe-inspiring ridges, deep canyons, torrential rivers, mystical plateaus, endless valleys, crystal-clear streams and the most tranquil of lakes.
In true Banyan Tree style, the resort architecture reflects the local Tibetan culture. All 32 spacious lodges and suites 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.

ROOM FEATURES
When traveling through Shangri-La, nothing compares with calling an authentic Tibetan farmhouse your home. Ringha Lodge was built as the private residence of a Tibetan villager, his family and his livestock; it was taken apart, reassembled in its present location and renovated to the highest specifications preserving its historic charm. It’s a personal hideaway that’s ideal for a family or group of four, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a wonderfully atmospheric living area and an enchanting courtyard.

The Great Rivers National Park will be four times the size of Yellowstone National Park in USA, with boundaries from Burma in the west to Sichuan to the east, and from the first bend of the Yangtze to the Central Tibet border. The park embraces the Yangtze, Mekong, Salween and Irrawady rivers and numerous distinct ethnic areas.
Mountain landscapes The limestone and granite terrain of the Mekong climbs upwards to the lush forests of the Salween and onwards to the high mountain ranges of the Yangtze. This is a perfect region for relaxed nature walks, botanical exploration, pony treks, and more serious trekking. Expect to see spectacular mountain lakes, rhododendrons and forests, hot springs, gorges and karst terraces, are of which are common features of this unique environment.
Bita Lake Nature Preserve is 3,540m above sea level and a lovely place for horseback riding. The hiking around the lake is accessible to the average walker, and the surrounding woods reveal long strands of moss hanging from the trees and wildflowers sprouting up in the most surprising places.
The White Water Limestone Terrace forms the second largest natural terrace of its kind in the world. The valley is covered with red and pink wildflowers in the autumn and is a local pilgrimage site in March.
Napha Lake Nature Preserve is a lake from July to September and an enormous meadow during the rest of the year. The surrounding hills are covered with a carpet of wild flowers in May and June. During the winter months, the rare black-neck crane makes the nature preserve its home.
