A 45-minute 🚗 drive from the hustle of Shanghai leads you to Amanyangyun in Maqiao, Minhang, where a green curtain of 10,000 camphor trees shields you from urban chaos. Ming and Qing dynasty residences with blue bricks and gray tiles blend seamlessly with Kerry Hill’s modern designs, exuding an Eastern charm of "seclusion within the city." 🍁🍁🍁
Living in "Living History"
The heart of the resort is 13 meticulously relocated and restored Ming and Qing dynasty houses from Fuzhou, Jiangxi. 🌴 Every brick and tile carries centuries of stories. My heritage suite retains the traditional "skywell" layout, where rainwater cascades like a curtain, greenery 🍀 spills into the windows, and even the bathtub is carved from a single stone—understated yet luxurious.
Kerry Hill: The "Poet of Light"!
The golden nanmu wood screen in the lobby casts delicate light patterns, 🤳 stone steps and flowing water in the corridors reflect dancing shadows, and even the perforated roof of the spa center lets sunlight dance on your skin. 💃💃💃
Visit the Nan Shufang library at dusk—the fading light through carved windows falls on the guqin, making every shot a masterpiece. ⛱⛱⛱
A Culinary Cultural Journey
🍨 Lazhu Restaurant: A paradise for Jiangxi cuisine lovers! Spicy pine flower tofu awakens the palate, clay-pot duck melts in your mouth, and even the rice carries the aroma of firewood—all ingredients freshly picked from the organic garden. 🍸🍸
■ ARVA Italian Restaurant: The semi-buffet breakfast features fiery Jiangxi beef noodle soup, while candlelit dinners pair Parma ham with melon and red wine , maxing out the romance. 🌹🌹🌹
Hidden Experiences: Rediscovering Life’s Rituals
📘 Nan Shufang’s cultural classes: Paint bamboo, savor incense, play the guqin 🎼—taught by young cultural inheritors in a serene yet relaxed atmosphere.
🚲 Cycling & Forest 🌳 Walks:
Borrow a bike and ride through the resort’s gate straight into Maqiao Forest Park, where spring greenery feels like a private sanctuary.
🌲 Blessing the Ancient Camphor Tree:
Water the millennium-old camphor tree and make a wish—touching its bark feels like hearing the whispers of time. ✨✨✨
Amanyangyun’s luxury isn’t opulence but reverence for history and harmony with nature. A 15-year, ¥3.3 billion relocation project gave 10,000 ancient trees 🌳 and centuries-old houses a new life. 🌲🌲
Here, every blade of grass 🍀, every brick and tile, speaks of the philosophy that "beauty takes time." Even the air is infused with camphor and the scent of old books 📙—a rare urban oasis for healing. 🌴🌴🌴
"True elegance is letting time bear witness to beauty." 🍂🍂
