A Businessclass Verified Hotel
Nestled within a preserved camphor woodland in Shanghai’s Minhang district, Amanyangyun stands as a serene escape for discerning travelers seeking immersive luxury. This exclusive retreat’s remarkable origin traces back to the cultural landscapes of rural Fuzhou—nearly 700 kilometers away—where a visionary conservation project relocated endangered Ming and Qing dynasty residences, along with thousands of ancient camphor trees, to the outskirts of Shanghai. The ambitious endeavor restored a rare, 2,000-year-old forest and painstakingly reconstructed 13 historic villas at the resort’s heart, now complemented by 24 contemporary Courtyard Suites. Each Ming Courtyard Suite offers dual private courtyards, blending heritage architecture with serene, light-filled interiors. Expect understated elegance: expansive layouts, pale timber screens, spa-style bathrooms, rainfall showers, and deep soaking tubs.
The Aman Spa at Amanyangyun has cemented the property’s reputation as one of China’s leading wellness destinations in 2025, featuring both indoor and outdoor pools, private bathhouses, a traditional hammam, Russian banya, top-tier fitness center, and dedicated studios for yoga and Pilates. Guests benefit from holistic wellness offerings, including traditional Chinese medicine consultations, acupuncture, and tailored nutrition programs.
For those seeking cultural enrichment, Nanshufang—the hotel’s dedicated arts and culture sanctuary—invites guests to participate in calligraphy workshops, incense crafting, and authentic tea ceremonies. Culinary experiences are equally curated: Lazhu honors the flavors of Jiangxi, Shanghai, and Cantonese cuisine with refined interpretations, while Arva, the lakeside Italian restaurant, channels Italy’s contemporary farm-to-table ethos in a convivial setting. The Bar, with its tranquil ambiance, is the perfect spot for crafted cocktails or a sophisticated afternoon tea between curated activities.
