Why it is different
3,600m on Geladan Grasslands
Seven heated tent suites once stood on open alpine meadow inside Laojun Mountain National Geological Park, with Laojun peaks on the horizon and some of China's most dramatic high-elevation glamping light.
China's first luxury tented resort (2013)
Vinetree Geladan launched the modern luxury tented resort category in China, pairing expedition comfort with Lisu and Naxi cultural context in the UNESCO Three Parallel Rivers region.
Grassland days, star-filled nights
Shepherd's golf, hiking, yoga, spa time, and ATV routes filled daylight hours; after dark, thin air and wide skies turned stargazing into a signature ritual on the grasslands.
Migratory camp, honest legacy
Vinetree's sustainable model moved the Geladan camp after its full lifecycle in 2019. Book today's Yunnan portfolio (Honghe Valley, Tengchong Silk Road, Alulaka, and more) through the official reservation link.

Can I still book a stay at Vinetree Geladan on the grasslands?
The Geladan camp completed its full migratory lifecycle and was relocated in 2019, as Vinetree documents on vinetreeresorts.com. For current tented stays in Yunnan, use the brand reservation page or email vip@vinetreetents.com for Honghe Valley, Tengchong Silk Road, Alulaka, and other active camps.
Why is Geladan called China's first luxury tented resort?
Vinetree Geladan opened in 2013 as China's first luxury tented resort, combining heated tent suites, guided cultural experiences, and fine camp dining at high altitude on Geladan Grasslands inside Laojun Mountain National Geological Park.
How high is Geladan and why does altitude matter?
The camp operated at roughly 3,600 meters on Geladan Grasslands, among the world's highest luxury tented retreat settings. Guests should plan for cooler temperatures, strong sun, and slower acclimatization. Ask Vinetree about altitude guidance for any current Yunnan camp you book.
What activities were offered at Geladan?
Public brand materials highlight shepherd's golf, alpine spa, ATV outings, hiking, yoga, and stargazing across the open grasslands with views toward Laojun Mountain in the Three Parallel Rivers region.
How many tents were at Geladan?
The camp featured seven exclusive tent suites, keeping the experience small-scale and aligned with Vinetree's low-impact, migratory camp philosophy.
Where is Geladan in relation to Lijiang?
Geladan Grasslands lie within Laojun Mountain National Geological Park in Lijiang Prefecture, Yunnan Province, in the UNESCO-listed Three Parallel Rivers landscape of southwest China.
