On Shanghai’s southwestern edge, Amanyangyun brings together relocated Ming- and Qing-era houses, contemporary pavilions and a forest of ancient camphor trees saved from Jiangxi province. Guest suites use warm timber, stone and finely patterned screens, while restored antique villas retain carved architectural fragments around private courtyards and pools. The cultural centre, Nan Shufang, hosts calligraphy, music and tea rituals within a rebuilt schoolhouse. Elsewhere, extensive spa facilities, indoor and outdoor pools and several restaurants occupy modern low-rise buildings, their pale stone façades and angular roofs set among lakes, woodland paths and historic masonry.
