Amandayan

Summary

Situated atop the Lion Hill with sweeping views of Lijiang and the distant mountain ranges, the Amandayan is set above the winding lanes of the Old Town of Lijiang. The resort is named for the Sansrit-derived word for ’peace’ and is designed in the Nakhi traditional style. The hotel is housed in a group of dwellings arranged around peaceful courtyards with exquisite views out into the valley. Whether you’re here to explore the surrounding countryside, UNESCO World Heritage Old Town of Lijiang, or simply catch your breath in the picture perfect surroundings; the Amandayan provides the perfect base for your stay. 

Highlights

  • Savour the views of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and its companions on the horizon
  • Immerse yourself in the culture of the historic Old Town
  • Relax with superb spa treatments
  • Enjoy bird watching on Lashi Lake or walks in the surrounding countryside

Location

Lijiang, China

How to get there

The Amandayan is close to Lijiang Sanyi airport a 40-minute drive away. You’ll need to fly into Shanghai or Kunming first, then pick up a connecting flight.

Best time to go

Generally speaking, the best months to visit China are in the spring or autumn months of April, May, September and October as temperatures are warm and it is fairly dry. Due to the higher altitude and mountainous terrain, Lijiang has a cooler climate. 

Our thoughts

The Amandayan is luxurious yet uncomplicated and makes for the perfect base to enjoy this secret hideaway. The town of Lijiang seems nestled on the other side of the world with a distinct ‘old-world’ feel about it. The surrounding countryside offers superb opportunities to get out and about to explore, and the towering mountains provide breathtaking scenery along the way.
