Book the Amanyangyun with VIP Benefits

A peaceful sanctuary on the outskirts of downtown Shanghai, Amanyangyun offers a glimpse of China's past in a magnificent natural setting. Amid a flourishing forest of camphor trees near a tranquil lake, 13 re-mastered Ming and Qing Dynasty houses have been carefully moved brick by brick from Fuzhou's legendary region in Jiangxi Province to become an integral part of Aman's fourth destination in China.

Antique Villas

Thirteen restored Antique Villas and 24 contemporary Ming Courtyard Suites (both in King and Twin configurations) are set in spacious grounds within the camphor forest. The Antique Villas offer 1 to 2 bedrooms, and most feature newly-built wings that house a further 2 to 3 contemporary suites. Accommodation can be booked in multiple configurations. The Pavilion category (1 to 2 suites in the Villa or its Wing) offers the Antique Villa experience with the Villa's swimming pool, garden, and courtyard with other Pavilion occupants.

Amanyangyun's Restaurants and Bars

Are all placed to afford a variety of serene, natural views. Designed with refined modernity and material simplicity in mind, each venue is as sensitive to the local environment as to the culinary philosophy it represents. Set around an impressive central courtyard, the 2,840m² (over 30,500ft²) Amanyangyun Spa & Wellness Centre is one of the largest and most comprehensive in Shanghai. Its ethos and atmosphere draw inspiration from the resort's name, 'Yang Yun,' part of a 300-year-old inscription within Beijing's Forbidden City, meaning 'nourishing cloud.'

The Spiritual heart of Amanyangyun is Nan Shufang

Named after the royal reading pavilion in the Forbidden City, this cultural complex has been created from one of the most architecturally impressive antique buildings that made Fuzhou's journey. Enhanced with furniture crafted from the nanmu wood characteristic of Ming interiors, the pavilion is a modern-day recreation of the 'scholars' studios' of 17th-century China's literati. Nan Shufang is a space to learn, contemplate and practice traditional crafts such as calligraphy, music, and painting or watch one of Amanyangyun's frequent Kunqu Opera performances. Across the courtyard, nine dedicated rooms have been created to host traditional tea and incense ceremonies.
