Of the city’s many unique traits, perhaps the most striking is its mix of architectural styles: traditional Chinese, European colonial, and ultra-modern. From the dense shikumen, two- to three-story tenements protected by brick walls, to the stately, colonnaded financial buildings on the Bund, to the newest stamps on the city’s landscape made by the world’s “starchitects,” Shanghai’s skyline is truly unforgettable. 8 AMANYANGUN Aman’s fourth property in China is a tranquil village of historic dwellings, surrounded by sacred camphor woodland – a peaceful, introspective setting that belies its proximity to vibrant downtown Shanghai. Both forest and village tell an incredible story – of millennia of history, daring engineering feats, and a philanthropic endeavor spanning hundreds of kilometers along the country’s eastern reaches. DINING FACILITIES Amanyangyun’s six dining venues – including the Chinese Restaurant, the All Day Dining Pavilion and a 200-seat Banquet Hall, along with a Club Lounge, Lakeside Café, and Aman Deli Village Shop – each enjoy a distinctive ambience. From fine dining to relaxed alfresco meals, guests can expect the freshest, locally sourced delicacies wherever they choose to dine. 9 10
