LUXURY AND AUTHENTICITY
You could not experience a more definitive picture of China from a hand painted porcelain plate from the Ming dynasty.
The Amanfayun, near Hangzhou, is China as it was – and China as it still is – away from its fast-growing, rapid-paced, industrialised towns and cities. You can expect to be cocooned in two imperious, 19th century courtyard houses that offer a centre of serenity, luxury and authenticity. A Tea House gives you an insight into the past with its traditional tea service. The restaurant serves simple (but exquisite) regional specialities, tucked away in a grove of evergreens. The spa uses ancient Asian healing techniques to help you forget the modern world.
