According to the Chinese authorities, the genuine 'Shangri-La' exists in Yunnan Province, in a spectacular, mountainous region carpeted by pine-saturated valleys and a thick blanket of low-lying cloud. It seems the government’s words ring true and this dreamy utopia is not so much fictional, but totally reachable. To see it for yourself, visit Banyan Tree Ringha, which peppers the landscape with thirty-two idyllic hideaways mimicking traditional Tibetan farmhouses. Inside each two-storey lodge you’ll find spacious, open-plan interiors flushed with Tibetan carpets, central wood-burning stoves and enormous four-feet-deep wooden baths. There are no fictional fantasies found here; it truly is an isolated mountain paradise with relaxed aesthetics, a mystical three-thousand-metre-high position and the scent of bubbling Tibetan hotpot wafting throughout.
