How to Book Amandayan: Above the Old Town of Lijiang

September 2026 · 6 min read

Lijiang is an ancient trading town of cobbled lanes, canals and Naxi culture in the highlands of Yunnan, framed by the glaciers of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Amandayan crowns Lion Hill above the old town, so the lanes and rooftops lie below and the mountain rises in the distance.

The suites are finished with hand-carved Naxi screens, embroidered textiles and local craft, many with views over the old town or to the mountain, rising to the two-bedroom suites. The design joins the collection's calm to the traditions of the region.

Dining celebrates the distinctive cuisine of Yunnan at Man Yi Xuan, with afternoon tea at the Amandayan Tea House, built on the region's remarkable produce. The spa, the pool and guided exploration of the old town and the mountain fill the days.
