Drive 🚗 45 minutes to escape the hustle and bustle of the metropolis and step into Aman Yangyun in Minhang Maqiao. A green curtain woven by tens of thousands of camphor trees isolates the urban noise. The Ming and Qing dynasty ancient residence with blue bricks and gray tiles blends with Kerry Hill’s modern design, exuding an Eastern charm of "a great hermit hidden in the city" in its tranquility. 🍁🍁🍁
Living in "Living History"
The heart of the hotel is 13 Ming and Qing dynasty ancient residences relocated and rebuilt from Fuzhou, Jiangxi. 🌴 Every brick and tile carries a century-old story. The ancient residence suite I stayed in retains the "Four Waters Returning to the Hall" courtyard layout. When it rains, water curtains cascade, and the courtyard greenery 🍀 flows into the window lattice. Even the bathtub is carved from a single piece of natural stone, showcasing understated luxury.
Kerry Hill’s design is truly a "Poet of Light"!
The golden Phoebe zhennan wood screen in the lobby filters scattered light spots, 🤳 the stone steps and flowing water in the corridor reflect tree shadows, and even the hollowed-out roof of the SPA center lets sunlight dance on your skin. 💃💃💃
I recommend visiting the Nan Study Room at dusk, where twilight filters through carved window lattices onto the guqin, and every snap feels like a masterpiece. ⛱⛱⛱
A Cultural Journey on the Palate
🍨 Lazu Restaurant: A paradise for Jiangxi cuisine lovers! The chili-pounded Songhua sour and spicy appetizer awakens the appetite, the clay pot duck is tender and flavorful, ingredients are freshly picked from the organic garden, and even the rice carries a smoky firewood aroma. 🍸🍸
■ ARVA Italian Restaurant: The Jiangxi beef offal rice noodles at the morning semi-buffet breakfast are fresh, spicy, and satisfying. At night, candlelight flickers, and Parma ham with melon paired with red wine 🍷 creates a fully romantic atmosphere. 🌹🌹🌹
Hidden Activities: Rediscovering the Rituals of Life
Nan Study Room 📘 Chinese Classics Class: Painting bamboo, savoring incense, playing the guqin 🎼. The teacher is a young cultural inheritor, creating a relaxed yet Zen atmosphere.
🚲 Cycling and Forest 🌳 Strolling:
Rent a bicycle for free, pass through the hotel’s small gate directly to Maqiao Forest Park, where the spring greenery feels like a private retreat, full of healing power.
🌲 Tree King Blessing: Water the thousand-year-old camphor tree and make a wish. Touching the bark feels like hearing the whispers of time. ✨✨✨
The luxury of Aman Yangyun is not ostentation but reverence for history and coexistence with nature. The 3.3 billion yuan, 15-year relocation project has given new life to tens of thousands of ancient trees 🌳 and century-old residences. 🌲🌲
Every blade of grass 🍀, every brick and tile here tells the philosophy of "beauty lies in longevity." Even the air is infused with the scent of camphor wood and the aroma of books 📙, making it a rare healing sanctuary for city dwellers. 🌴🌴🌴
"True elegance is letting time become the witness of beauty." 🍂🍂
