Linden Centre allows visitors to make this stunning historic renovation home base when traveling in China

American entrepreneurs and adventure seekers Brian and Jeanee Linden have realized their dream and captured an unmatched way to share their tremendous experiences in Asia with guests who seek more than a vacation when traveling in China.

Set in Southwest China's Yunnan Province, the Linden Centre stands as an exquisite respite from the urban sprawl of China's rapidly growing cities, in which travelers can base themselves as they set off on an unequalled adventure filled with education, exploration, and deep immersion into traditional Chinese life.

Their story is an intriguing one. "We are the first foreigners to gain access to one of China's most pristine examples of traditional architecture," says Brian Linden. "It took four years of negotiations and renovation, but our Centre has become the region's leading example of sustainable and sensitive restoration." Indeed, the Centre's stone walls and multiple courtyards are cultural relics of such import that they enjoy the same level of government protection as the Great Wall.

Working hand in hand with China's cultural and preservation ministries as well as local villagers, the Lindens' vision of a renovated Centre is a beautiful blend of dynastic elegance and modern luxury that guests can truly call their own during their
