Amandayan China – A Peaceful View Above Lijiang Old Town

Set high on Lion Hill, overlooking the tiled roofs and winding canals of UNESCO-listed Lijiang Old Town, Amandayan is a sanctuary shaped by stillness, culture, and sky. Surrounded by pines and peaceful courtyards, this retreat draws from Nakhi tradition and opens to views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, always watching on the horizon.

Where Craft Meets Calm

Each suite and villa is built in the spirit of a Nakhi courtyard home—carved wooden screens, handwoven fabrics, and stone pathways soften the light and hold the mountain breeze.

• Private courtyards and balconies with views of Old Town or the distant peaks
  
• Interiors infused with heritage touches and the simplicity of Aman design
  
• Soft morning light and the quiet pulse of Lijiang just beyond the walls
  

This is a place to pause—above the city, inside its memory.

Wellness in Balance

At the heart of Amandayan lies its Aman Spa, rooted in the energy-healing traditions of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Here, therapies are guided by the body’s seasonal needs and the balancing of Qi.

• Four serene treatment rooms with wooden soaking tubs and steam facilities
  
• A 20-metre outdoor pool set among wooden pavilions
  
• Hydrotherapy rituals designed to adapt to the climate
  
• Private sessions in Tai Chi, Pilates, and seated meditation
  
• Signature treatments such as Bamboo Aromatherapy and Herbal Compress Therapy, combining tactile relief with plant wisdom

A Taste of Yunnan

Food at Amandayan is intimately local, reflecting the rich diversity of Yunnan cuisine and its ties to nature and season.

• The Tea House: Afternoon tastings, bistro-style plates, and live music by night
