[2024 Lijiang Stay] Travel Guide for Amandayan (Updated Nov)
Set atop Lion Hill above the winding lanes and canals of Lijiang’s Unesco-protected Old Town, Amandayan is a serene retreat with panoramic views: The fabled city merges into a patchwork of fields that lap against snow-capped peaks on the horizon. These include revered Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which on most days props up an impossibly blue sky. Tucked into the north-western corner of Yunnan – known as the ‘Land of Eternal Spring’ for its mild climate – Lijiang is home to a harmonious fusion of cultures including the indigenous Nakhi. Housed in elegant wooden dwellings inspired by Nakhi architecture, Amandayan’s 35 suites open onto tranquil courtyards and offer consummate privacy in exquisite surrounds. An Aman Spa overlooks a heated outdoor swimming pool, three dining venues include Man Yi Xuan, the Restaurant and a traditional Tea House, and a private cinema offers 32 reclining leather seats.

Lijiang's Aman Hotel is completely underrated in China!
Lijiang's Aman Hotel🏨 is completely underrated in China!

🏨Amandayan Lijiang·Dayan Aman
The most beautiful and ideal resort hotel in Lijiang
Located at the highest point of Lijiang Old Town—Lion Hill⛰️
Overlooking the ancient town scenery and distant snow-capped mountains🏔️
Designed in the style of Naxi dwellings with 'three rooms and one screen wall'
The ancient architectural complex surrounds a tranquil courtyard
From the moment you step into Dayan Aman
You are isolated from the bustling city...
800 years ago, when the Naxi Mu Clan moved their headquarters from Baisha Town to Lion Hill, they called this place 'Dayan Town'.
Ordinary tourists buy tickets to enter the Wenchang Palace scenic area from the main entrance, while hotel🏨 guests can access Wenchang Palace from the back door at any time, enjoying a panoramic view of the ancient town.
The resort has 35 spacious terrace suites, offering views of Lijiang's beautiful scenery, suburban countryside, and majestic snow-capped mountains, including China's most magnificent peak—Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Located in the northwest corner of Yunnan Province, Lijiang is considered one of the most beautiful places in China. Dayan Aman is the perfect place to explore Lijiang, experience traditional Naxi culture, and visit natural attractions like Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Like other Aman resorts, Dayan Aman's design is adapted to the local environment, incorporating classic elements of traditional Naxi architecture, harmoniously blending into the ancient city of Lijiang. Notably, the Wenchang Palace, built in 1725, is located within Dayan Aman. Aman's meticulous care for this historical building has perfectly preserved the former imperial examination hall. Today, the courtyard where Wenchang Palace is located still retains century-old trees🌲 and exquisite carvings, adorned with colorful paintings.
The secluded lighting creates a mystical and ethereal atmosphere, while the numerous maze-like paths and ingenious landscaping in the garden, along with the eight treasures of the Eight Immortals depicted as jade plates, flutes, swords, lotuses, fans, flower baskets, fishing drums, and gourds, further illustrate Aman's thoughtful choice of Wenchang Palace in Dayan, leaving a lasting impression.

The hotel where Yang Yang has checked in three times, the quality of Aman can always be trusted
【Must-Sleep Reason】
The Wen Chang Palace, built in 1725, is located within the Amandayan, once an imperial examination site. The hotel proudly sits at the highest point of Lion Hill in the center of Lijiang Ancient Town, offering one of the best vantage points to overlook Lijiang and gaze at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, as well as to have a panoramic view of the ancient town.
Design
'Aman' means peace and tranquility in Sanskrit. Since the opening of the first Amanpuri in 1988, with its otherworldly locations and meticulous service, it has become the moonlight in the hearts of every hotel enthusiast. The Amandayan in Lijiang, located on Lion Hill, is the third in China designed by the master designer Jaya with his Eastern aesthetics, turning this place into a secluded residence above the ancient town.
Culture
Under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, overlooking the ancient town bathed in sunlight, drawing inspiration from the local ancient civilization and culture, this secluded residence is filled with endless charm. Viewing the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the ancient town of Lijiang is like looking at a piece of jade. The Dongba blessing ceremony in front of the Wen Chang Palace and the Naxi dance are Amandayan's calling cards, representing the traditional, natural, and local Naxi culture.
Rooms
The meticulously crafted 35 elegant suites mostly offer views of Lijiang's beautiful countryside or the stunning snow mountain. The suites of Amandayan are all built around courtyards. Unique Naxi embroidery and exquisite Dongba wood carvings feature natural patterns such as flowers and birds.
Dining
In addition to the lobby bar, there is also the Man Yi Xuan restaurant and tea house, offering local Chinese cuisine and afternoon tea. The dishes are very impressive, and Man Yi Xuan is also the best spot in the entire hotel to view the snow mountain, while the tea house offers a panoramic view of the entire ancient town.
Structure
The rooms adopt the traditional Naxi courtyard concept, allowing the hotel to form a layout with 'courtyards' as the carrier. The extensive use of raw wood design gives the hotel a warm atmosphere. Through different windows, the light and shadow of the day also become a scenery. Compared to the bustling ancient town at the foot of the mountain, the tranquility here has a deeper sense of seclusion within the city.

The Amandayan in Lijiang is one of the best domestic resorts I have ever stayed at, with hardly any rivals
Watching the sun shine on the Golden Mountain from the Amandayan in Lijiang
The Amandayan is one of the best domestic resorts I have ever stayed at, with hardly any rivals. The hotel has only about thirty rooms, which are very exquisite, so the service is also very good.
With Aman's consistent high-end design, you can directly view the sun shining on the Golden Mountain from the hotel, which is very auspicious for the new year~
The hotel's dining left a deep impression on me. The breakfast is not overly abundant, which actually makes it more appetizing without causing decision fatigue. One is the rooftop bar that overlooks the Lijiang ancient town, and the other is a Chinese restaurant serving local dishes, both of which are very well done, and the prices are more affordable than the average five-star hotel.
The cultural activities arranged by the hotel are also very interesting. There are guides to take you around the ancient town (which is really a relief, as the ancient town is too big and it's easy to get lost, so it's great to have someone lead the way), you can watch local performances, and in the evening, you can even join the locals for a bonfire dance, and so on.
In summary, I really recommend everyone to come here for a leisurely vacation. The sunshine and air are unbeatable, and the level of facilities like the swimming pool and spa is also top-notch. I'll leave the rest for everyone to explore~

Lijiang‖Aman with the purpose of seclusion and tranquility!
Lijiang·Dayan Aman Hotel
Aman Dayan Amandayan
I took a picture of the sunrise over the Golden Mountain early in the morning. The Naxi people use wood + stone materials to match the light for a great shot. The combination of ancient and modern and the study of local materials are their consistent design pursuits. Dayan Aman is quietly attached to the Wenchang Palace next to Lion Mountain.
The Aman, which aims for seclusion and tranquility, may not have its wish here. You can often hear the sound of the bar under the mountain in the guest room, almost from morning to night. The teahouse, which has the best view of the city, is under repair and can only overlook the ancient city from the pavilion. The view of the sunrise over the Golden Mountain can only be seen on the platform of the Chinese restaurant. The view of the guest room is hard to say is stunning. The courtyard-enclosed architectural form sacrifices the advantage of the view, but it fails to isolate the outside noise through better sound insulation, losing both ways.

Coming to Lijiang in the off-season is so pleasant, it's very quiet and perfect for laying back!

There are too few hotel choices in Dali, but coming to Lijiang, you have everything. The cost performance of staying in high-end hotels in China is quite high, and there are fewer people in the winter off-season. The whole courtyard is only our family, very quiet, suitable for people like me who like to lay back.

| Lijiang Dayan Aman.
Finally checked into the last of the many luxury hotels in Lijiang, Aman. Every time due to some temporary circumstances, I didn't make it, but this time I finally stayed. Still that sentence, don't follow the wind and black. Dayan is much better than imagined, Lijiang has a lot of inns that sell at the price of luxury hotels, but they can't meet the standard at all.
We stayed at the neighboring Xue Lou the night before, the next day Aman's receptionist came directly to the door of the Xue Lou room to pick us up, and took our luggage away in the room, the whole person was stunned. Only a few minutes walk, Aman still drove to pick us up, and the receptionist walked back, this kind of detail many brands simply do not care about.
Arrived at the hotel, located on the top of Lion Hill, has the best ancient city view. The front desk staff of Aman took us around the entire public area, returned to the room, helped upgrade to a luxury suite, and prepared cakes, dried fruits and a pot full of fruits.
The guest room is very detailed, open living room. There are also two hats and many, many items in the cloakroom. The view outside the desk is a cherry blossom tree, plus the architecture of the ancient city below. This kind of beauty, rarely seen in the ancient city.

One day, you will be attracted by AMAN
one day, you I will personally feel that AMAN
-
Hotel is located in the ancient city of Dayan in Lijiang, but it is really handy for Anzhen to take it quietly. From the noisy ancient city all the way to the commanding heights of the whole city, you will arrive at the hotel.
-
Book the Grand Research Hotel on the Internet, the price is basically 4,000 or so, the price is relatively acceptable for all Anzhen. After arriving in Anzhen, the service from the beginning will instantly accept the calm and comfort it brings.
-
The room type I was staying at was a room with five rooms divided into upper and lower floors. If I am staying in a room on the first floor, pushing the window into the courtyard, I feel that I have the domineering of the entire courtyard in a flash.
-
You can do a lot of things in the Grand Yanan Hotel and go to the unique view point overlooking the hustle and bustle of the ancient city. You can also go to the swimming pool for a comfortable private relaxation, or the spa next to the Anzhen, and its great to have a relaxing and peaceful spa at the top of the ancient city.
-
In short, when you have actually stayed at Anzhen Hotel once, you will fall in love with it and become an Amanjunkie who wants to punch cards all over the world.
