Lijiang is an esteemed Chinese destination due to the fact that it provides a rich history, mountainous scenery with fresh air and clear streams. The Old Town part of the city maintains the original flavour of the local lifestyle, and is littered with quaint bridges across the scenic canals, old cobblestones and traditional Chinese architecture set in a dramatic landscape. The climate is pleasant all year round due to Lijiang’s more remote location which means you can enjoy the outdoor air and experience your beautiful surroundings. Luxury hotels in this part of China provide breathtaking views as well as facilities such as heated outdoor swimming pools, spacious rooms and intricate interiors.
Luxury hotel Amandayan has opened in the fabled city of Lijiang. Set on a hillside above the UNESCO-protected Old Town, the hotel draws its name from the Sanskrit-derived word for ‘peace’ and ‘Dayan’, the historic name for Lijiang when it was first established by the ruling Mu family in the 13th-century.
