Have you ever dreamed of exploring the culture and beauty of China beyond just the big cities? Wouldn't it help to have an experienced, competent guide to help you learn the nuances of this exotic country? This is your chance.

As a guest at the Linden Centre in Yunnan, you will see a beautiful part of China that isn't on the beaten track...yet. The Linden Centre is in an expansive and luxurious courtyard home in Xizhou, a pristine village in southwest China's Yunnan Province. The facility is a nationally protected heritage site that the owners have restored to its former dynastic elegance.

In the foothills of the Himalayas, Xizhou enjoys a year-round spring-like climate and direct access to rich, undisturbed cultures in a true melting pot of the region. Guests touch the 'old' China that is elusive to most visitors, and leave with enriching experiences that last a lifetime. The Centre experience is all-inclusive, with luxurious accommodations and staff providing all meals and transport for excursions and side-trips. Each day at the Centre is different, with a constant flow of activities and experiences available.
