Kunming Bailian Hotel | Hidden Luxury by Dianchi Lake in the World of Tea and Zen

📍By the shore of Dianchi Lake, nestled in tea fields
Located in the Kunming Dianchi National Tourism Resort Area, adjacent to Haigeng Park by Dianchi Lake, it is a 10-minute walk to the lakeside. In the early morning, you can jog along the lake, watch the sunrise over Dianchi, and see seagulls playing. About 40 kilometers from Kunming Changshui International Airport, reachable by taxi within an hour; nearby buses go directly to Xishan Forest Park and Yunnan Nationalities Village. By car, it’s about a 30-minute drive to Cuihu Park and Yunnan Army Lecture Hall. The hotel offers free parking, making travel convenient.

🏨 Tea Zen Aesthetics, a Blend of Nature and Elegance
The hotel’s core design concept centers on "Tea Zen Culture," with architecture hidden among thousands of acres of ecological tea fields and gardens. The Chinese-style courtyard with white walls and black tiles is arranged with elegance, each step revealing the grace of Jiangnan gardens. Guest rooms are either private courtyards or scenic suites, spacious and equipped with custom wooden furniture and private hot spring pools. Opening the window reveals the green tea fields or garden water views. The rooms are meticulously detailed with tea sets, aromatherapy, and other decor, fully embodying Eastern Zen. 24-hour butler service is available on call, ensuring privacy and comfort.

🍽️ Gourmet Feast, a Fusion of Local and Refined Flavors
Featuring a Chinese restaurant, Thai restaurant, and tea house, ingredients are mostly sourced from the hotel’s own farm and local Yunnan ecological produce. The Chinese restaurant specializes in a fusion of Dian cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, with signature dishes like steam pot chicken and Xuanwei ham steamed milk pudding that are must-tries. The Thai restaurant is run by a Thai chef, serving authentic dishes such as Tom Yum soup and mango sticky rice, surrounded by garden scenery for a full ambiance. The tea house offers Pu’er tea and Dianhong tea from Bailian’s own tea garden, where guests can taste tea and experience tea master brewing services, immersing in Yunnan tea culture.

🛎️ Unique Experiences, Leisurely Vacation Time
The hotel’s core experience is Bailian SPA, using local Yunnan herbs and essential oils combined with Thai and Chinese massage techniques. Some SPA rooms feature private hot spring pools, providing physical and mental relaxation after therapy. Additionally, guests can book tea picking experiences in the tea fields, following tea farmers to pick fresh leaves and participate in tea making. The hotel also has a heated swimming pool and gym, and lakeside areas offer yoga and meditation activities. In winter, the hotel can assist in booking Dianchi seagull-watching boat tours for close encounters with black-billed gulls.
