Section, China · Banyan Tree · August 2026




At the foot of Mount Emei in Sichuan, Banyan Tree Mount Emei is a nature-focused resort positioned beside the Baoguo Temple area and close to the entrance of the Mount Emei Scenic Area, a UNESCO World Heritage destination and one of China’s Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains. The resort combines contemporary accommodation with references to western Sichuan courtyard architecture, setting rooms and villas among forested landscape, mountain views and water. Its 130 accommodations include Mountain View Rooms, Garden Villas and Lakeside Villas, with private hot spring pools designed around the region’s geothermal character. Facilities include an indoor swimming pool with panoramic views, Banyan Tree Spa, fitness centre, sauna, children’s club and woodland experiences such as Tai Chi. Dining draws on Sichuan traditions while incorporating Cantonese and international influences, with destination settings including a lakeside pavilion and floating boat dining. The atmosphere is quiet, culturally grounded and well suited to travellers seeking access to Emei’s temples, trails and misty mountain scenery without giving up considered resort comforts.
