In such a vast country like China, it can be complicated to decide where to explore and understand the different culture. To help show the way, we’ve hand-selected a collection of boutique hotels in Yunnan province and beyond in other culturally rich destinations such as Tibet to the Yangtze Delta. Each property ensures genuine hospitality in the Chinese countryside with its ancient traditions, beliefs and artisans. Only a few hotels are preserving this culture – we have discovered them for you.
