How to Book Amanyangyun: A Forest Resort on Shanghai's Edge

Amanyangyun is one of the most ambitious projects in the collection, a resort built on 140 hectares of woodland on Shanghai's vibrant fringe, where thousands of ancient camphor trees and dozens of Ming and Qing dynasty dwellings were rescued from flooding and painstakingly relocated. The result is a forest sanctuary of antique villas and modern pavilions, with a grand spa and five restaurants, a short drive from one of the world's great cities. Booking through a preferred-partner advisory costs the same as booking direct, with recognition and benefits added at no extra cost.

Amanyangyun lies on Shanghai's southern edge, close enough for the city yet set in its own replanted camphor forest, a remarkable act of conservation that gives the resort its character. Ancient trees and restored historic houses stand among contemporary architecture, a dialogue between old and new China.

Accommodation ranges from contemporary Pavilion Suites with private courtyards to the restored Antique Villas, centuries-old dwellings rebuilt as private residences with their own pools and staff. The design joins the collection's calm to China's architectural heritage.

Dining is unusually broad, with venues including Arva for Italian, Lazhu for Jiangxi cuisine and Yinlu for Cantonese hot pot, alongside a tea house and more. The grand Aman Spa, a cultural centre and an organic garden complete one of the most complete Amans in the world.

Amanyangyun is old and new China side by side, a rescued camphor forest and antique villas on the edge of Shanghai.
