The hotel where Yang Yang has checked in three times, the quality of Aman can always be trusted

【Must-Sleep Reason】 The Wen Chang Palace, built in 1725, is located within the Amandayan, once an imperial examination site. The hotel proudly sits at the highest point of Lion Hill in the center of Lijiang Ancient Town, offering one of the best vantage points to overlook Lijiang and gaze at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, as well as to have a panoramic view of the ancient town. Design 'Aman' means peace and tranquility in Sanskrit. Since the opening of the first Amanpuri in 1988, with its otherworldly locations and meticulous service, it has become the moonlight in the hearts of every hotel enthusiast. The Amandayan in Lijiang, located on Lion Hill, is the third in China designed by the master designer Jaya with his Eastern aesthetics, turning this place into a secluded residence above the ancient town. Culture Under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, overlooking the ancient town bathed in sunlight, drawing inspiration from the local ancient civilization and culture, this secluded residence is filled with endless charm. Viewing the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the ancient town of Lijiang is like looking at a piece of jade. The Dongba blessing ceremony in front of the Wen Chang Palace and the Naxi dance are Amandayan's calling cards, representing the traditional, natural, and local Naxi culture. Rooms The meticulously crafted 35 elegant suites mostly offer views of Lijiang's beautiful countryside or the stunning snow mountain. The suites of Amandayan are all built around courtyards. Unique Naxi embroidery and exquisite Dongba wood carvings feature natural patterns such as flowers and birds. Dining In addition to the lobby bar, there is also the Man Yi Xuan restaurant and tea house, offering local Chinese cuisine and afternoon tea. The dishes are very impressive, and Man Yi Xuan is also the best spot in the entire hotel to view the snow mountain, while the tea house offers a panoramic view of the entire ancient town. Structure The rooms adopt the traditional Naxi courtyard concept, allowing the hotel to form a layout with 'courtyards' as the carrier. The extensive use of raw wood design gives the hotel a warm atmosphere. Through different windows, the light and shadow of the day also become a scenery. Compared to the bustling ancient town at the foot of the mountain, the tranquility here has a deeper sense of seclusion within the city.

Amandayan

Set atop Lion Hill above the winding lanes and canals of Lijiang’s Unesco-protected Old Town, Amandayan is a serene retreat with panoramic views: The fabled city merges into a patchwork of fields that lap against snow-capped peaks on the horizon. These include revered Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which on most days props up an impossibly blue sky. Tucked into the north-western corner of Yunnan – known as the ‘Land of Eternal Spring’ for its mild climate – Lijiang is home to a harmonious fusion of cultures including the indigenous Nakhi. Housed in elegant wooden dwellings inspired by Nakhi architecture, Amandayan’s 35 suites open onto tranquil courtyards and offer consummate privacy in exquisite surrounds. An Aman Spa overlooks a heated outdoor swimming pool, three dining venues include Man Yi Xuan, the Restaurant and a traditional Tea House, and a private cinema offers 32 reclining leather seats. #instagramworthydestinations #beautifulhotel #unforgettableexperiences #chinatravel #lijiang #amanhotel
