Amanyangyun

Shanghai & Surrounds

Located an hour from central Shanghai in China, Amanyangyun is a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by a sacred forest of 1,000-year-old trees. Originally located 700 kilometers away in Fuzhou, the forest and heritage Ming and Qing villas were rescued from demolition and relocated to form this stylish Aman resort.

There are 24 Ming courtyard suites and 13 antique villas. The spacious, light-filled rooms fuse Aman minimalism with earthy neutral tones, natural materials, and spacious en suites. The antique villas surround ancient stone courtyards and have access to the private pool.

Lazhu restaurant puts a creative spin on Cantonese and Shanghainese cuisine, while Arva offers an Italian menu and Nama serves Japanese meals. There’s also a cigar lounge, and bar serving afternoon tea and cocktails.

Nanshufang is a cultural center dedicated to Chinese arts and crafts such as calligraphy, brush painting, and tea, and incense ceremonies. Amanyangyun also boasts a wellness center with indoor and outdoor pools and a spa.

Why we recommend Amanyangyun

Thirteen villas and 1000 trees were relocated from a province 700km away to create Amanyangyun, an hour away from central Shanghai in China. One of the resorted villas is set up as a cultural center, including staff who can talk you through the renovation process. Apart from being a beautiful hotel, the activity schedule here is also very impressive and includes children’s activities such as pottery, paper cutting, and calligraphy. We also recommend taking out the free bikes to explore the surrounding area.
