The luxury resort adjacent to Exiu Lake has 90 guest rooms, 40 pavilions and 20 villas with oriental design and lush garden or tranquil lake views.

Some villas have their own spas or swimming pools and indulgences available from the resort's spa centre include exotic bamboo massage or a ginger bath ritual treatment. There are also children's facilities, a main tropical swimming pool, yoga and tai chi classes.

Personalised dining is also available, with "dining-by-design" menus available for a romantic candlelight dinner by the pool or in your villa.

The resort's cooking classes include market tours and there are also visits to Haochi Street in downtown Emei and to an old farmhouse where tofu is traditionally made in ancient stone pots.
