Banyan Tree Huangshan has officially opened in the misty awe-inspiring landscape of Anhui Province, east of China, enshrouded by the great Mount Huangshan. The 10th Banyan Tree in China, it is 70 minutes away from Huangshan city. Cultural adventurers and explorers will be fascinated by the ancient-styled dwellings of Xidi and Hongcun, two UNESCO world heritage sites and the breath-taking Mount Huangshan with its peculiar shaped granite peaks, woody pine trees and hot springs. This perfect harmony of nature and culture embodies Banyan Tree Huangshan's dedication to create a Sanctuary for the Senses amidst picturesque landscapes and rich Chinese history.

In the old Xidi and Hongcun villages, just ten minutes from the resort, you can find traditional Chinese residences dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasty. Their unique combination of simple and exquisite architecture perfectly demonstrates the heritage of the Hui-style culture. As you wander along the village, you will be amazed by the beauty of its boundless hills and winding streams.

The design of Banyan Tree Huangshan embodies the enchanting Hui-style's architecture inspired by traditional Chinese ink paintings. The wooden bamboo carvings found within the hotel tell ancient stories, while others depict the sheer beauty of Mount Huangshan. The wooden roof slopes with its white walls tipped by black scales; finishing in the traditional horse-head style found in the area, provide the resort with a signature local touch that blends in with its surrounding scenery.

Banyan Tree Huangshan is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. In addition to the poetically inspiring suites and villas, the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa and Banyan Tree Gallery are also not to be missed. Step into culturally themed spa villas to heighten the experience and release your being into the soothing hands of our therapists. At Banyan Tree Spa, we follow our philosophy of a 'hightouch, low-tech' approach that celebrates the human touch and the use of natural herbs and spices. The secrets of beauty and health are inherited into an exclusive offer only found in the Treasure of Huangshan treatment. The spa experience includes a facial treatment and traditional oriental massage to soothe the body. The treatment ends with a calming bath, featuring a renowned local ingredient – Mao Feng tea.
