Shanghai, China's largest city, is the country's economic powerhouse. Amanyangyun is a serene sanctuary on the outskirts of southern Shanghai. Yangyun translates as "having his own time," as if he were in charge of the clouds in his heart. The resort is particularly notable for its lush forest and historic buildings, with each treehouse boasting a thousand years of history. They were all brought from Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province, about 700 kilometers downstream of the Yangtze River from the resort.
When you stay in Amanyangyun, you have the impression of being in a vast garden. There are 26 suites and 13 villas in total. All resorts have adequate lighting, and suites with forest views are appealing year-round due to their spacious living room space and quiet courtyard. The resort is designed to complement the surrounding forest area, striking a perfect balance of old and new in keeping with the village concept. The resort's exterior reflects traditional Chinese culture, while the rooms' interiors are modernized with dark wood. In comparison to other Aman in China, Aman Yangyun's room, which is brimming with modern beauty, stands out for its restrained elegance.
Amanyangyun's five dining venues – Chinese restaurant LAZHU, Italian restaurant ARVA, hotpot restaurant YIN LU, The Bar and The Cigar Lounge – each enjoy a distinctive ambience. From fine dining to relaxed alfresco meals, guests can expect the freshest, locally sourced delicacies wherever they choose to dine.
The ethos and atmosphere of the Aman Spa draw inspiration from the resort's name, 'Yang Yun', part of a 300-year-old inscription within Beijing's Forbidden City meaning 'nourishing cloud'. While celebrating the past, the spa also offers the finest modern, diagnostic and treatments tools.
Amanyangyun's setting belies its proximity to Shanghai's metropolitan heart; the historic Bund district, along with cultural, dining and shopping attractions, are all within an easy drive away. Head further afield to explore the traditional canal town of Zhujiajiao and the cultural hubs of Hangzhou and Suzhou.
