What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s just one part of the larger Dong Feng Yun Art Village mixed-use arts and culture complex, designed by the sculptor Luo Xu in a style that feels ancient and futuristic at the same time.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The surrounding Dongfengyun Art Town is threaded with walking paths that wind past working vineyards, lakes, and lavender fields.

The rooms
Bedrooms follow the curving contours of the pavilions, finished in warm earth tones and dotted with local ceramics.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 1,300-square-metre pool curves along the lake, looking across the water toward the estate's red-brick bottle towers.
The gym and sauna
Life Fitness equipment sits along floor-to-ceiling windows in the gym, which includes a dry sauna and steam room.
At the table
Huijin serves modern Yunnan dishes with regional wines, and Taste sets out morning buffets against red clay bricks.
How it began
Masons raised the compound using locally fired clay bricks, completing the organic structures without steel bars or nails.
