Lijiang Foliday International Resort is a unique Resort-Residential Destination that seamlessly blends the old with the new by combining the layout, feel and scale of old towns while incorporating the placemaking practices of today. Strategically placed between Mount Yulong and the Lijiang Baisha Cultural and Heritage Site, the site is one of very few areas permitted for development within the area to protect the ecological and natural resources of the region.

Given the focus on protected lands and proximity to cultural heritage sites, our guiding principle was to celebrate the Province's Cultural and Architectural Heritage, embrace the inherent natural characteristics of the site, and promote health and wellness for all visitors and residents.

The plan seamlessly integrates a world-class resort experience into the natural environment, meeting every guest's and residents' needs from entertainment offerings to living necessities. It includes a strong focus on intimate pedestrian placemaking, delivering a vibrant series of amenity-rich spaces, interior and exterior. Our goal was to provide layers of lasting memorable experiences that resonate with both visitors and residents, enticing them to continuously explore the resort's unique features.

From the dramatic water show at the lake, to intimate traditionally-inspired shopping districts that celebrate the cultural history of the region, to the on-site farm areas for growing for fresh organic produce to facilitate farm-to-table freshness, Foliday Resort creates a healthy ecosystem to facilitate wellness and cleansing. It is a place to retreat from the pollution of the big cities and reinvest in one's health.
