An Unrivaled Location Steeped in History

Lijiang, located in northwest Yunnan Province, is praised as one of China's most beautiful towns and continues to captivate many.

Amandayan is nestled in a location that offers views of Lijiang's historic, atmospheric townscape, the surrounding countryside, and, on the distant horizon, the snow-capped peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, revered as China's most beautiful mountain.

Amandayan is based on traditional courtyard-style architecture, featuring 35 spacious suites, each with a terrace. Five to eight suites are arranged around each courtyard.

Olivier Joli, CEO of Aman, states, "Amandayan has been realized through a unique aesthetic based on the Aman philosophy. Situated in an unparalleled, magnificent location, it allows guests to fully immerse themselves in its historical charm. Culture, comfort, and warm hospitality will further enrich the stay at this sanctuary."

The Wencheng Palace in the Courtyard, Built in 1725

The guest rooms are appointed with local materials and fabrics unique to the region, including Yunnan pine harvested from a mythical paradise, striking Naxi embroidery, and intricate Dongba wood carvings of flowers and birds. The Naxi people place great importance on the harmony between humans and nature, and Dongba refers to the spiritual leaders of the Naxi.

The furniture at Amandayan is crafted from elm wood felled in Northeast China, and the stone floors create a sense of unity with the surrounding mountains. The elegant, graceful, and beautifully simple curves symbolize Chinese culture while embodying a modern style.

A notable feature of Amandayan is the Wencheng Palace, located in a traditional courtyard on the property. Built in 1725, it was used as a venue for the imperial examinations. The courtyard features a 100-year-old tree, and the roof and buildings are adorned with meticulously preserved carvings and vibrant paintings, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship.

The all-day dining restaurant, "The Lounge," offers Western and Asian cuisine made with local organic ingredients.
