Property Overview

Perched on a hillside above the UNESCO-protected Old Town of Lijiang, Amandayan embraces Nakhi culture and breathtaking mountain
views. Its name comes from the Sanskrit-derived word for 'peace' and Dayan, the original thirteenth-century name for Lijiang. Amandayan's accommodations boast contemporary interiors – complemented by locally sourced materials – and are surrounded by peaceful courtyards. With views of the towering Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the ancient, eight-hundred year old city of Lijiang, it is truly spectacular.
