Hangzhou, China

Amanfayun

Hidden away in a picturesque valley, Amanfayun is surrounded by tea fields, natural woodland and a pilgrimage circuit of seven ancient Buddhist temples. Resting within a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, just six kilometres from West Lake, the resort is a tranquil retreat where stone pathways lead to shaded courtyards and 46 peaceful abodes, some over a century old.
