Banyan Group has expanded its flagship Banyan Tree brand in China with the opening of Banyan Tree Mount Emei in China’s Sichuan Province. Nestled in the foothills of Mount Emei (also known as Emeishan), the resort serves as a gateway to the Mount Emei Scenic Area, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and known for its rich biodiversity.
“Mount Emei holds a distinctive place in China’s cultural and natural heritage. As one of China’s Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains, it brings together centuries of tradition and exceptional ecological value,” said Philip Ding, Senior Vice President, Head of Hotel Operations, Northeast Asia and Business Development, China, Banyan Group. “We look forward to welcoming guests to our mountainside sanctuary as they explore this important destination at an unhurried pace, moving beyond traditional sightseeing to engage more deeply with its landscape, living traditions and natural rhythms.”
Inspired by the traditional courtyard homes of western Sichuan, the resort reinterprets the region’s architecture in a contemporary form. Its design, landscaping and guest experiences draw on the surrounding environment and local culture.
