High-end hotels shine for more Chinese

One and Only Resorts' property on Hayman Island sits at the heart of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and offers one-of-a-kind services to guests, such as the biggest irregularly-shaped pool in the Southern Hemisphere, and private seaplane and luxury yacht services to transfer visitors to the island.

Several domestic luxury hotels have been designed to cater for wealthy guests who can only spare a weekend to relax out of their hectic schedule.

These hotels blend modern design into natural landscapes, and are often set near mountains and waterways, offering oases of tranquility in an often frantic world.

The Banyan Tree Yangshuo in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region features local ancient architecture design and offers special dishes from the region and Guangdong province, while the Amanfayun resort in Zhejiang province's Hangzhou is tucked away in mountain valleys to the west of the renowned West Lake and integrates strong Buddhist elements into its overall flavor.
