Wanan Tinglan Wild Luxury Resort Designer Hotel

Xishuangbanna sits closer to the Mekong delta than to Beijing in spirit, and this boutique resort on the Lancang riverbank leans into that identity hard. Rattan, timber, red brick, and black roof tiles sit inside dense tropical foliage, with private hot spring baths and 24-hour butler service. Rainforest afternoon tea in the courtyard garden is exactly as good an idea as it sounds. A small, unhurried stay in a corner of Yunnan that operates on its own timezone.
