- Amandayan, China
Spring Outing at Amandayan (Until 31 December 2021)
Set atop Lion Hill, above the winding lanes and canals of Lijiang’s Unesco-protected Old Town, Amandayan is a serene retreat with panoramic views: the fabled city merges into a patchwork of fields that lap against snow-capped peaks on the horizon. A half-or full-day excursion takes in historic Wenfeng Temple and its spectacular camellia and pine-scattered grounds, and the Spring Outing programme includes demonstrations of traditional Nakhi singing and dancing, as well as lessons in Dongba writing.
An authentic seasonal Nakhi meal rounds off the experience. Home to more centenarians than any other village in China, Ciman is also extremely picturesque, with cobbled streets overlooked by traditional Nakhi houses, many of which are over two-hundred years old.
After being welcomed in one such home, families can learn about Nakhi and Dongba culture, its languages and arts, before sitting down for a memorable Nakhi meal prepared with the freshest seasonal produce.
