    Lijiang

    Amandayan

    Luxury and tradition found atop The Old Town's Lion Hill

    Amandayan can been found atop Lion Hill in the heart of Lijiang. While it is leading the way in bringing 21st-century luxuries to Lijiang, such as a private cinema and modern outdoor pool, Amandayan feels every bit a part of the Old Town as the charming historical bridges and cobbled streets found here.

    Guests can relax in its tranquil courtyards and traditionally designed suites with wooden features and intricate carvings made from local Yunnan pine and Dong Bei elm, fully in keeping with the Nakhi people’s use of timber for construction and art.

    It offers three styles of suite, with 35 suites in total, all of which offer their own courtyard or terrace from which you can enjoy the mesmerising views of Lijiang’s rooftops, Lion Hill, the Old Town and the majestic mountains in the background.

    After working up an appetite exploring the wonders of Lijiang, head Amandayan’s main restaurant, Man Yi Xuan, where you can delight in Nakhi cuisine, created locally grown ingredients. For a delightful immersion into the world of Chinese tea, head to the Tea House where you can indulge in an assortment of teas as well as dim sum, sandwiches, cakes and pastries both indoors and out with views of Lijiang’s old town.

    To achieve full body relaxation, head to the Aman Spa where you can indulge in a selection of traditional Chinese therapies. If you are feeling active, the spa also has a 20-metre heated pool, a fully equipped gym and Pilates studio.

    Banyan Tree Lijiang

    Lijiang

    Banyan Tree Lijiang

    Found at the foot of the fantastically named Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Banyan Tree Lijiang decorates the already mesmerizing landscape. Its regal combination of traditional style buildings and modern-day luxury perfectly evoke a romanticised sense of a bygone kingdom; specifically that of the Nashi (also sometimes referred to as Nakhi) people.

    Rooms here are palatial in their own right, borrowing from elements of Nashi architecture such as perfect symmetry, elegant pillars and subtly carved poles. Here you can absorb panoramic views of the legendary Jade Dragon Snow Mountains from your plush king-sized bed, as well as bask in the beauty of your carefully tended private gardens, relax in the private outdoor heated pools and individually tailor your comfort with a thoughtful pillow menu. Rooms are decorated with dark woods and red hues, known in China as the traditional symbolic colour of happiness, and a stay here is sure to instil such a thing.

    Dining here is just as perfected as the hotel’s aesthetic, atmosphere and luxury. Here you can indulge in the best of the local cuisine in the hotel’s two restaurants, or enjoy a unique gourmet dining experience in a pagoda under the moonlight.

    Here you can indulge the senses at the Banyan Tree Spa, enjoy a class of yoga, along with a range of guided tours of Lijiang by both bike and foot, or revitalize with a game of tennis on the on-site courts that benefit from a breathtaking backdrop of the mountains.

    Guests can also visit the Banyan Tree Gallery, which is filled with an enchanting collection of handicrafts, resort apparel and signature spa amenities, letting you take a little piece of this tranquil paradise home with you.
