Amandayan — Lijiang

Location: 29 Shishan Road Gucheng District, Lijiang, CN

Amandayan is set in the fabled city of Lijiang, a 40–50-minute drive from Lijiang Sanyi Airport (LJG). Embracing Nakhi culture and breathtaking mountain views, Amandayan lies on a hillside above the UNESCO-protected Old Town. The property draws its name from the Sanskrit-derived word for peace, and Dayan, the historic name for Lijiang when it was first established by the ruling Mu family in the 13th century. Discover rich natural beauty on a trek through Tiger Leaping Gorge or a horseback ride through a wildflower meadow. In Lijiang, the narrow lanes and 354 bridges reveal heritage architecture and a culture that dates back centuries. Drawing on the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, the spa's extensive menu incorporates local herbs and balms. The resort’s atmospheric restaurants serve Yunnan, Cantonese, and western fare with a focus on seasonal produce. Amandayan’s panoramic views and flexible facilities—including a 30-seat cinema—suit weddings and business retreats alike.
