The culmination of an ambitious feat of architectural and ecological conservation, Amanyangyun is a peaceful sanctuary on the outskirts of downtown Shanghai. Amid a flourishing forest of camphor trees near a tranquil lake, 11 re-mastered Ming and Qing Dynasty villas have been carefully moved brick-by-brick from Fuzhou to become an integral part of Aman’s fourth destination in China. Offering a glimpse of China’s past in a magnificent natural setting, Amanyangyun is a destination unto itself with a comprehensive Aman Spa, numerous restaurants and a unique cultural centre known as Nan Shufang.A convivial meeting ground for children, Amanyangyun’s Children's Discovery Centre offers a host of experiences, each designed to help the resort’s younger guests unearth the rich culture of China. The centre, open from 9am to 5pm, welcomes children aged from five to 12 to enjoy a variety of activities – from Chinese lantern making, paper cutting, pottery moulding and tea ceremonies to Chinese shadow puppet shows. Children’s yoga and spa treatments can also be arranged upon request.
