Hi all, I know China doesn’t have a greta reputation for luxury hotels, but I’m planning a 10-day trip and would love your thoughts.

We’ll base ourselves in Shanghai, then head on to other cities, current candidates are Chengdu, Hangzhou and Beijing. Still evaluating the itinerary other than Shanghai.

Are there any properties you'd recommend? Are the Chinese Amans any good? Thank you in advance!

After a lot of old thread reading, here's my current shortlist:

- Peninsula Shanghai
- Amanyangyun
- Amanfayun or FS Hangzhou
- Temple House (Chengdu)
- Banyan Tree Yangshuo

If anyone has any advice or recommendations, please share, thank you.
