Just outside downtown Shanghai, a cherished camphor forest sets the scene for Aman's fourth destination in China: Amanyangyun. Meaning ‘nourishing cloud’, yangyun is a reference to expanding the ‘cloud’ of the mind with knowledge – a philosophy borne by the story of the trees and dwellings at Amanyangyun's heart. This introspective retreat belies a remarkable tale of a forest transported, and a history preserved.
Amanyangyun
An AMAN hotel. Rialto is a Virtuoso agency and can provide VIP access and offers.
Amanyangyun is more than a resort – it is a living piece of China’s heritage. Set on the outskirts of Shanghai amid a relocated forest of thousand-year-old camphor trees, the property comprises more than a dozen Ming and Qing dynasty village buildings, reassembled stone by stone and complemented by minimalistic, contemporary spaces, all connected by paved pathways and ornamental ponds. The result is a tranquil, 24-suite retreat where time slows, allowing guests to contemplate the graceful choreography of a traditional tea ceremony or therapeutic benefits of the spa’s dual bathing rituals.

About Amanyangyun

Frequently Asked Questions
Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?
No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.
What is the value of the VIP benefits?
Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.
How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?
Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.
Can my AI assistant book this hotel?
Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
