Amanfayun
Summary
Set on 14 hectares of tea plantation, natural forest and groves of bamboo, you’ll be forgiven for thinking you’ve stepped back in time when entering this luxury boutique resort. Connected by stone pathways, the 47 courtyard dwellings have been restored and reconstructed using traditional methods to represent a traditional Chinese village. Once the focal point of daily village life, the stream that borders the property creates a tranquil setting along with the tea bushes, bamboo and indigenous trees that surround the property. A perfect haven hidden in a quiet valley on the West Lake.
