Referred to as China’s “Forgotten Kingdom,” Lijiang in the country’s south-west holds a certain mystique. Forgotten it may be, but that certainly hasn’t stopped Pullman Resort and Spa (Shuhe Old Town Entrance Road, Lijiang, Yunnan Province, +86 888-530-0111) from setting up there. The resort’s architecture, inspired by the Naxi ethnic minority, exudes old world charm. Apart from spa treatments at the resort’s Mandara Spa, you can also head out to explore downtown Lijiang and the World Heritage Sites of Shuhe and Dayan Ancient Towns—they’re all a stone’s throw away. From now till Jun 30, the resort’s Spring/Summer promotion entitles you to a complimentary third night stay if you book rooms for two consecutive nights. Rates start at US$238 ($300) a night.
