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.

Self-book this hotel through Rialto at the VIP rate for benefits that can include priority room upgrades, hotel credits, and more.
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.
