Amanyangyun is more than a resort – it is a living piece of China’s heritage. Set on the outskirts of Shanghai amid a relocated forest of thousand-year-old camphor trees, the property comprises more than a dozen Ming and Qing dynasty village buildings, reassembled stone by stone and complemented by minimalistic, contemporary spaces, all connected by paved pathways and ornamental ponds. The result is a tranquil, 24-suite retreat where time slows, allowing guests to contemplate the graceful choreography of a traditional tea ceremony or therapeutic benefits of the spa’s dual bathing rituals.
