A New Tented Camp That Celebrates Railway Heritage in Southern China

Vinetree Yunnan-Vietnam Railway Tented Resort

Rediscover Yunnan’s Historic Railways in a Luxury Wilderness Setting

In the lush mountains of southern China, the newly opened Vinetree Yunnan-Vietnam Railway Tented Resort invites travellers to step back in time and relive the golden age of rail travel. Located just one kilometre from the historic Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, this luxury tented retreat pays homage to the line that once connected China and Southeast Asia—and transformed regional travel forever.

Built in the early 1900s, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was lauded by The Times of London as one of the “Three Greatest Engineering Wonders of the World.” Visitors staying at the camp can easily explore this remarkable legacy, including the famous Herringbone Bridge, a must-see feat of early 20th-century engineering surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

A Railway-Inspired Design with Modern Comfort

Each of the 12 tented guest rooms has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate Yunnan’s rich railway heritage. Interiors are adorned with authentic vintage memorabilia from the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway—maps, lanterns, and restored fixtures that capture the spirit of adventure from a bygone era.

Outdoors, the camp comes alive with retro oil lamps, weathered railway sleepers, and panoramic mountain views that transport guests to a simpler, slower time. Six of the tents feature wraparound 360° views, creating a seamless blend between luxury and nature.

An Unforgettable Stay with a Sense of Place
