Aman Lijiang | A Luxurious Cultural Retreat in China’s Ancient Town

Join me as I take you inside Amandayan, one of the most exclusive luxury resorts in China and part of the renowned Aman family. I stayed here over Christmas with my dad, and it was the perfect mix of relaxation, culture, and beautiful design. In this video, I’ll walk you through our experience—from traditional courtyard strolls and relaxing tea time overlooking Lijiang Old Town, to fun activities like calligraphy, scented sachet making, and dumpling making on the Winter Solstice. You'll also get a full room tour, local market walk, and taste of delicious Yunnan hotpot with views of Yulong Snow Mountain. Whether you're planning a trip to Lijiang or just curious about what it's like to stay at Amandayan, this review covers it all with personal stories and travel tips! ✨ Subscribe to my channel:    / chocotravelguide   FOLLOW ME!   / travelwith_choco   • All of my video + vlogging equipment DJI OM 4 SE - 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer - https://amzn.to/3p0wsV7 DJI Mini 2 Fly More Combo - https://amzn.to/3vskUgI SanDisk 400GB Ultra microSDXC Memory Card - https://amzn.to/3PLnQgt Logitech for Creators Blue Yeti USB Microphone - https://amzn.to/3zKeQmh GoPro HERO10 Black - https://amzn.to/3OKS9ms Projector Stand,Laptop Tripod Stand - https://amzn.to/3FG9RCS • License Songs / Tracks: Free Music for Videos 👉 Music by Dakkuma - Coffee shop - https://thmatc.co/?l=D0E8FA68 They Say | Acoustic Guitar | Premium Music by Pipo & Wowa Download: https://www.unminus.com/tracks/they-say Mellifluous melody (prod. rory fisher) FREE VLOG SONG   / mellifluous-melody-prod-rory-fisherfree-vl...   ♪♫Zura / after rainy day    • Zura / after rainy day || NO COPYRIGHT MUS...   • Timecodes 0:00 - Intro | Resort walking tour 1:29 Pavilion afternoon tea 2:20 Wenchang palance 2:55 Activity 4:18 Dumpling making 5:00 Outdoor heated pool & fitness center 5:37 Courtyard suite 7:46 Dinner hotpot 8:25 Night walk in Lijiang old town 9:21 Hotel lobby & private cinema 10:00 Morning walk to Zhongyi market 11:20 Breakfast 11:53 Library 12:34 Tea lounge 13:27 Nearby attractions 13:59 Ending
