It remains a work in progress and is quite different from other Amans. Aman have kept the look and tradition of an old Chinese farming village, so the suites are big but dark. Some of the windows are glassed in, but others are wooden shuttered, so in the colder months you have to keep these closed which means certain areas are very dark. Summer here would be the best time although some say that spring is very beautiful. It is cold in China of course, so I think summer is the ideal time.

Furnishings are light wood and sort of modern Chinese, with dark slate floors and tatami mats. Bathrooms are good, but there are no tubs - apparently a traditional thing.

Big suites, such as Amanfayun Villa are 2-storey and resemble a house - dark but very attractive and spacious.

Currently in the restaurant, European style food is served but the intention is to add Thai. The Steam House serves traditional style local food, such as dumplings at very low prices. They say they are going to do street food stalls as well.

Spa is very large but quite different from the norm, with Japanese style wooden tubs in each treatment suite. Gym is small as is Pilates studio.

No pool as yet as they are awaiting planning permission.
