Lijiang's Old Town has long been home to skilled artisans, and Amandayan makes ample use of their works to enhance the resort's soothing aesthetics. Nakhi embroidery pieces and intricate wood carvings adorn the 35 simple and graceful suites, placed around peaceful courtyards and built in the classic, high-pitched-roof style with Yunnan pine and other locally sourced materials. Local ingredients are also key to culinary offerings and to the alternative therapies at the Spa. Set beneath snowcapped Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Amandayan makes an ideal base for exploring this spellbinding region.
