History
Banyan Tree Nanjing Garden Expo opened in 2021 as a 115-room thermal resort in an abandoned quarry on Tangshan Mountain, a site stripped bare by a century of ore mining. China Architecture Design & Research Group set the tiered pale-stone facade along the hewn rock, and Cheng Chung Design shaped the interiors, later winning a 2022 Interior Design Best of Year Award for Large Resort. Every room has a private geothermal bath fed by Nanjing's volcanic hot-spring zone, and the spa keeps a subterranean pool inside the former quarry walls.
The setting
Banyan Tree Nanjing Garden Expo occupies a low-rise villa retreat on Mengyue Road in Tangshan Street, Jiangning District, within Nanjing's celebrated geothermal hot-spring zone where volcanic waters have drawn visitors for centuries. The resort integrates into the Garden Expo destination near Jiangsu's horticultural exposition grounds, while Qixia Temple and the Cliff of Thousand Buddhas are accessible within a short drive. Another landmark luxury resort anchors the same Tangshan enclave nearby, confirming the micro-area as Nanjing's premier nature-immersion retreat. The pairing of medicinal hot-spring bathing, ancient Buddhist heritage, and curated garden landscapes defines the enduring appeal of this secluded Jiangning address.
