Build a trip to Hangzhou
Located within the Xixi National Wetland Park, this resort is built in the 'water town' style with tiled roofs and ivory walls. Each suite is a spacious sanctuary overlooking the tranquil wetlands. The sensory experience is defined by the proximity to water and the sound of birds. It offers a much more secluded and wilder feel than the lakeside hotels. Expert recommendation: Experience the Banyan Tree Spa, which uses traditional Chinese herbal techniques. Pro tip: The resort offers private boat tours through the quietest parts of the Xixi Wetland, which are far superior to the public tours.
