Amanfayun
Just outside Hangzhou, the “City of Heaven,” lies Amanfayun, a truly remarkable enclave wherein you may just find true nirvana. This blissful, secluded retreat was purposefully designed to resemble a serene Chinese village and is within walking distance of five significant Buddhist temples. No two of the 42 guestrooms, suites and villas tucked within the scenic tea fields and forestland are identical. Many are located in original structures dating back 100 years; yet they feature the most modern amenities, including heated floors. Traditional tea in the Tea House is a must.
