Amanyangyun – A Serene Cultural Oasis Near Shanghai
Amanyangyun sits gently on the outskirts of Shanghai, a visionary Aman resort built among a forest of centuries‑old camphor trees and restored Ming and Qing dynasty villas. Each antique dwelling was transported brick by brick from Jiangxi and reimagined into stylish pavilions within lush gardens and serene lakes. The property blends Chinese heritage with minimalist Aman design.

The Ultimate Escape in Shanghai
Encircled by glossy, historic camphor groves relocated from their original homes, Amanyangyun feels like a sanctuary for the senses. Light-filled suites—either Grand Courtyard or Antique Villas—open onto private gardens and tranquil patios. Stone terraces, wooden trellises, and lotus-lined ponds underscore the resort’s quiet harmony, distanced from city noise though accessible within 45 minutes by private transfer.
Signature Experiences at Amanyangyun
The Aman Spa is one of the most expansive in the collection, spanning nearly 3,000 sqm with indoor and outdoor pools, twin spa houses offering Russian banya and Turkish hammam experiences, and thermal plunge options. Treatment rooms, fitness and movement studios, Pilates and yoga spaces with forest views invite holistic renewal. Wellness offerings include Tai Chi, sound‑bowl healing, Hatha yoga, and the Aman Seasonal Journey inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Dining unfolds in multiple venues across the estate: Lazhu celebrates Jiangxi‑inspired cuisine, Arva serves Italian seasonal fare sourced from the organic garden, Nama offers elegant Japanese washoku, and the Bar and Cigar Lounge provide refined spaces for cocktails or afternoon tea beside antique fireplaces. The lakeside tea ritual sets a gentle rhythm to the day.

Amanyangyun’s location offers access to Shanghai’s cultural highlights while preserving solitude.
