The Linden Centre offers the intrepid traveler a true immersion into authentic China. Guests reside in an expansive and luxurious courtyard home in Xizhou, a pristine village in SouthWest China’s Yunnan Province. Our facility is a nationally protected heritage site that we have restored to its former dynastic elegance. In the foothills of the Himalayas, guests enjoy a year-round spring climate and direct access to rich, undisturbed cultures in a true melting pot of the region. Our guests touch the 'old' China that is elusive to most visitors, and leave with enriching experiences that last a lifetime.
"The Linden Centre is an extraordinary combination of comfort, culture and stimulation. I very much admire the care and attention to exquisite detail that has gone into the restoration of a national historic treasure and the development of a site for creative work." - James Fallows, The Atlantic Monthly
China Daily, the largest, English newspaper in China, has recently written an article on Brian Linden, detailing his personal journey from meeting Deng Xiaoping, to realizing his dream in creating the Centre.
