Amanyangyun is the fourth Aman destination
in China, the first in Shanghai, and the only one
where its dwellings had to travel more than 700
kilometres.
Opened in January 2018, Amanyangyun is the
result of an ambitious 15-year conservation
initiative, which saw the relocation of a forest
and the reconstruction of an historic village.
The story began in the city of Fuzhou in the
province of Jiangxi, where construction of a new
reservoir threatened the existence of thousands
of camphor trees and dozens of homes dating
back to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Over the course of a decade, Fuzhou-born
entrepreneur Ma Dadong and Aman worked
together to ensure these relics of China’s ancient
past would not be lost to history, overseeing the
transportation and replanting of 10,000 trees –
including the 80-tonne Emperor Tree – and the
stone-by-stone disassembly and rebuilding of 50
antique houses.
Reborn 27 kilometres southwest of Shanghai,
Amanyangyun is a 10-hectare retreat that
presents a tranquil counterpart to the
neighbouring city.
Kerry Hill Architects meticulously restored the
50 disassembled antique houses to create 26
ancient dwellings for Amanyangyun.
As well as the antique pavilions, Amanyangyun
provides 24 newly created Ming Courtyard Suites
that complement their historic counterparts
