A Chinese village lost in time.
Hidden in a picturesque valley, Amanfayun brings to life a traditional Chinese village surrounded by tea fields, natural woodland and a pilgrimage circuit of seven ancient Buddhist temples. Stone pathways lead to shaded courtyards and 46 peaceful abodes, some over a century old. Ranging along Fayun Pathway, the village’s main thoroughfare, are atmospheric eateries, the comprehensive bamboo-shrouded Aman Spa and a heated swimming pool.
Situated on 14 hectares, the resort lies within walking distance of Lingyin Temple, founded in 326 AD, and is just 6km from tranquil West Lake, a Unesco World Heritage Site that inspired the poets of old with its serene waters and countless pagodas. Amanfayun is also only a 20-minute scenic drive from the centre of Hangzhou, long China’s tea and silk hub, described by Marco Polo as “The city of heaven”.
