Hidden in a wooded valley beside Hangzhou’s West Lake, Amanfayun occupies a restored village threaded by stone paths, tea fields and centuries-old Buddhist sites. Rooms, suites and villas inhabit traditional dwellings with tiled roofs, dark timber interiors and restrained furnishings, preserving the irregular character of the original settlement. Dining is dispersed through the village, from the Steam House to intimate rooms beneath exposed beams, while the spa occupies a series of courtyards and bathing spaces. Lingyin Temple and neighbouring monasteries are reached on foot, and the property’s yellow walls and layered rooflines remain folded into the surrounding hills.
