Property Description

At Gyalthang Dzong Hotel in Yunnan, china you will discover your own Shangri-la. A distant and secluded hideaway of great beauty and peacefulness. A remote paradise on earth where harmony reigns, where the gods walk among the people, and where man and nature embrace for a holiday in a place as novel as it is ancient. Choose an Angsana-managed hotel. Gyalthang Dzong Hotel is a typical Tibetan building but with a unique architecture in Tibetan Lamasery- style. A lamasery is a monastery for Lamas - Buddhist monks who are spiritually qualified to lead people towards enlightenment. The place is not new to travelers. The Southern Silk Road began in Sichuan province to the north, crossed the length of Yunnan and continued on to Vietnam. Some 2,000 years later, the region gained a new mystique as the setting in James Hilton's novel -Lost Horizon-. Today, with the opening of China and its emergence as an exotic destination, visit the most unexplored corner of all - Gyalthang Dzong Hotel. Gyalthang lies snugly in a wide valley, sheltered by soaring white-peaked mountains. Altitudes of 3,600mabove sea level exaggerate the effects of seasons, which mark the landscape with vivid character. Spring sees the hills and valleys carpeted with pink rhododendrons over verdant grazing pastures. Autumn molds summer hues into warmer tones of fiery gold, orange and rust, which lend warmth and an intimate ambience to the interiors of Gyalthang Dzong Hotel. Its secure location is only a 15-minute walk from the town of Gyalthang and only 5 minutes away from Shangri-la airport by car, on the southeastern outskirts of the city. Gyalthang Dzong Hotel brings international standards of service to the Tibetan borders while maintaining the small and cozy scale of a boutique hotel. In keeping with Tibetan Lamasery style, all rooms face inwards towards a central courtyard, which hosts al fresco dining and an informal outdoor space. Inside the rooms, the interior decor uses vibrant color and ethnic textiles to create an intimate ambience while exuding the spirit of an Angsana-managed hotel.
