Honghe
area
Similar to the Mekong, the Honghe river is cutting a
marvelous landscape into Yunnan before it crosses into Vietnam. Along
its banks are still many undisturbed villages that have escaped cultural
revolution.
Nowadays, however, they may hardly escape development efforts. Some
authorities are aware of this great cultural heritage and attempts to
preserve some of them are on their way.
Here are some glimpses into beautiful historic villas:

culture with a genuine interested in nature. From the tropical South to
the high alpine North: no other Chinese province offers more cultural
and ecological diversity. Biodiversity is rich in endemic species and
so are the farmers' fields: full of agriculturally rare species and crop
varieties.
For
travelers with cultural experience and who prefer tranquility we offer:
TianZi
Old Homes
With
TianZi Old Homes you rent an entire ethnic house. No next room
neighbors disturbing you, no tourists annoying you.
Your
home will be in the middle of a cultural setting but smartly hidden from
the noise of "development".
You
may choose to live in your house alone or with your friends. You may cook
for yourself or visit local restaurants.
All
TianZi Old Homes have a garden typical for local culture and teaming with
local plants.
We
also guarantee that there will be no TV set in your house because we want
you to enjoy time with your friends or a good book.
As
most old homes are mainly constructed of wood, smoking in the rooms is
not permitted.
At
TianZi we are working on providing a health food restaurant in all places
where we establish the TianZi Housing scheme.
For
booking please send us an e-mail to
inquire availability.
