Staying at Amanyangyun in Shanghai was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I stepped into the grand entrance, the level of service was impeccable—warm, precise, and effortlessly attentive. The check-in process was smooth, with staff providing clear and thoughtful explanations, and the room opening ritual felt like a true welcome ceremony. Throughout the stay, the service team anticipated needs without ever intruding—perfectly timed, perfectly discreet. My favorite part? Riding a bicycle through the surrounding forest trails. The serene, secluded atmosphere is ideal for those looking to truly unwind and disconnect. This is luxury done quietly, with elegance in every detail. I also want to give a special shout-out to Aria, our guide who shared deep insights into the hotel’s heritage and local history with genuine passion. Her dedication and warmth made the experience so much more meaningful. Truly a standout moment. Would highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking authenticity, tranquility, and exceptional service.
