Amanyangyun is a peaceful sanctuary, set on the outskirts of Shanghai, Eastern China. The hotel has spent a decade renovating a village complex of Ming- and Qing-dynasty homes and gardens, sensitively transforming them into an expansive holiday retreat. It’s a testament to one man’s passion and perseverance to transport these 10,000 trees and 50 residences, 800 kilometres from Jiangxi Province – where they were threatened with destruction from the building of a reservoir.
Surrounded by ethereal camphor forest, Amanyangyun houses just 37 reassembled dwellings with original carvings. Crafted to balance old and new, its living spaces pay tribute to the structure of the classic Chinese courtyard home. Across the courtyard are six dedicated rooms to host traditional tea and incense ceremonies while, facing the entrance is the Emperor Tree, a visual reminder of the value of maintaining a connection with history, and guests invited to nourish the tree with water.
The spiritual heart of Amanyangyun resort is Nan Shu Fang, the cultural complex that has been created from the most architecturally impressive antique building to have made the journey from Fuzhou. Set around an impressive central courtyard, is the spacious Aman Spa with extensive relaxation areas, a sauna, plunge pool, Jacuzzi and two swimming pools. The rule to respect your culture and nature applies even to its kitchens which offers garden-to-plate cuisines.
