.....The Centre is not a typical hotel at all. It is a historic, traditional courtyard residence lovingly and authentically restored on the edge of the ancient Yunnan village of Xizhou and next to lush green fields under cultivation. More than a place to stay, the Centre is place to really BE in China. Beyond the very comfortable accommodations (and terrific breakfast!), every member of the staff (from top to bottom) was extremely professional, friendly and attentive and made us feel like family members who had come home for the holiday. The founders of the Centre (Brian and Jeannie Linden) are very likely the most interesting, knowledgeable and stimulating people you will meet in China (or anywhere else for that matter) and they really go out of their way to share their deep experience of China with their guests. Checking into the Linden Centre was not just a hotel stay, it was more like becoming part of a community.
