This was our first time to an Aman property and we were blown away by the hospitality and amenities. The staff went above and beyond to take care of our needs and even more so to make my husband’s birthday extra special. Now we want to try all the Aman properties! The property is beautiful almost like having your own Forbidden Palace and the location is excellent for exploring the Old Town. We will definitely recommend to friends and family!
Response from Property: Thank you for your recent stay at Amandayan. Embracing Nakhi culture and breathtaking mountain views in fabled Lijiang, Amandayan lies on a hillside above the UNESCO-protected Old Town. The property draws its name from the Sanskrit-derived word for ‘peace’ and Dayan, the historic name for Lijiang when it was first established by the ruling Mu family in the 13th century. The comfort of our guests is our first priority, and I appreciate for your compliments on our service. We hope you found a experience of peace, service and comfort during your stay. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to see you again soon at Aman.

Good! Best service!
Response from Property: Thank you for your recent stay at Amandayan. The buildings of Amandayan are all designed by Naxi folk houses. The ancient buildings are surrounded by quiet courtyards, overlooking both the towering Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the ancient city of Lijiang with a history of more than 800 years. We hope you found a experience of peace, service and comfort during your stay. Thank you for your compliment, and we hope to see you again soon.

Overall, it's very good. Aman's style and service are basically impeccable, but some details are still a little uncomfortable. First of all, the network is really bad. The signal is not very good in many places on the mountain, and the hotel's wifi is unstable from time to time. The most outrageous thing is the toilet. There is no service at all, and the WiFi is either not available or one grid. Then there is the hair dryer. The hair dryer itself is fine. It comes with a Dyson as standard, but the plug does not match. The Dyson has a dual-control plug, and the washbasin has a three-hole socket, so it has to be used on the socket at the bar next to it. Then the toilet is indeed a bit high. I am 182cm tall and my legs just touch the ground. There is no small table in the toilet, and I have to reach behind me to put things. The room itself is relatively soundproof, but the opening and closing of the room door is indeed very noisy. I stayed for two days and the service was very good and satisfactory. The only thing was that I called for a knife to cut the pomegranate on the morning before I checked out. It took half an hour after two calls, but it still didn't come. I used my hands to break it and it splashed all over me. I don't know if I didn't pay much attention to it because I was about to check out or what. I reported it to the hotel staff, including the lobby manager, but they didn't say anything. I left in a hurry and didn't say anything more to them. The breakfast was average overall, only the eggs and bacon were delicious. There was also the cafe observation deck. I was about to go in to take a look, but they stopped me and took out the room key to show that I was a guest before letting me in. But I can understand it, and the attitude is not stiff. Overall, I am quite satisfied, but many details are indeed a bit unworthy of the title of Aman.

Response from Property: Dear guest, we are very sorry that we could not give you a good experience during your stay. The hotel has shared your feedback with relevant departments and management as soon as possible and has made some follow-up and adjustments accordingly. Dayan Aman adheres to the inheritance and protection of the Naxi courtyard style. The design uses all-wood structure doors, windows and roofs, coupled with floor heating and air conditioning to create a comfortable space. Due to seasonal temperature changes, there is indeed a slight sound when the wooden structure doors and windows are opened and closed. We are also working hard to resolve the contradiction between heritage protection and comfort experience, and sincerely hope to provide guests with a more comfortable and quiet environment. Providing meticulous and considerate service to our guests has always been what we strive to pursue. However, due to the recent sudden increase in the number of tourists in Lijiang and the increased load on the hotel, we have been unable to deploy staff in time to provide good service. We once again express our sincere apologies to you in the future. Will pay more attention to the details of service improvement. The hotel department attaches great importance to the deficiencies in other hardware facilities you mentioned and will do its best to make adjustments and improvements. At the same time, thank you for your overall recognition of the hotel and invite you to come back next time. We sincerely hope to bring you Better stay experience.

Amandayan is the second Aman in China that I visited with my brother and sister. Everything in the hotel is just right, the service is warm, the scenery is beautiful, and the ancient city of Lijiang can be seen at a glance. It rained heavily on the first night of our stay, and the sound of rain was endless, which was a special experience. Amandayan was the most memorable in our short trip to Lijiang. My sister has made an appointment with me to come again next time! ❤️

The hotel is located on the top of Lion Mountain in Dayan Ancient Town, overlooking the entire ancient town. The guest rooms are made of all wood, simple and full of charm, and the facilities in the room are comfortable and full of ethnic style. Every breakfast order is made meticulously. Shelley's service is also very thoughtful. When we checked in, she took us to visit the entire hotel and told us about the local culture and history. Overall, this hotel is really worth recommending.

During breakfast, the chefs will make them on site for you according to your choice. We are glad that you like it.

Very satisfying experience, this is the only choice when I come to Lijiang again. (I have been here 7 times and experienced most hotels, and Aman is the best one) Finally collected 9 pictures of Aman, looking forward to the next set. Facilities: The room has upgraded electric toilets. Hygiene: Very clean. Environment: Super beautiful! Service: Every staff member is warm and friendly. Meals: The cured pork ribs hot pot is super delicious!!! Breakfast and afternoon tea are also great. The only drawback is that the car that sent us to the airport was Viano (old truck) and there was a smell of smoke in the car.

Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for returning to Aman and writing such detailed reviews and sharing beautiful photos. Your words and photos also triggered a lot of thinking and imagination for us. I believe this is also the special feature of all Aman hotels in the world. Dayan Aman is built on the mountain. Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the distant clouds, you can overlook this historical city protected by UNESCO. Every step in the hotel creates a scene. The perfect combination of Naxi architecture and natural light creates a changing scene at Dayan Aman throughout the day. I believe this will be a "beautiful" stay experience for guests. I'm glad that you also experienced Nixi Black Pottery Hot Pot and Tea House Afternoon Tea during your stay. I hope your stay will bring you an unforgettable vacation time. We attach great importance to the deficiencies you mentioned and apologize for the trouble it has caused you. We will also improve hotel services in the future. If given the opportunity, we look forward to seeing you again and the hotel will definitely provide you with Excellent and attentive service.

Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for choosing to stay at Dayan Aman Hotel. It is a great honor to receive your picture sharing. The hotel is located in Lijiang, in the northwest corner of Yunnan Province, considered one of the most beautiful places in China. Aman Dayan is an excellent place to stay to explore Lijiang, and it is also an excellent starting point to experience traditional Naxi culture and visit natural landscapes such as Tiger Leaping Gorge. For example, the mushroom picking itinerary you are experiencing is in Wenhai, located at an altitude of 3,100 meters. Cattle and sheep, cottages, distant mountains, and meadows constitute this peaceful place. Every year when the rainy season comes, all kinds of wild mushrooms will emerge from the ground. A great secret place to experience the wild beauty of the mountains and forests. I am very happy to receive your recognition. Thank you again for your thoughtful sharing. I look forward to meeting you again in the future.

There is no summer heat in Dayan Aman. If you don't have a special itinerary, it is recommended that you sit in the teahouse, taste the Aman afternoon tea, and have a panoramic view of the ancient city of Lijiang. Thank you again for your comments and look forward to meeting you again in the future.

I am very happy to stay in such a beautiful hotel with my family this time. The weather happens to be very sunny, and the blue sky and white clouds in Lijiang make me feel more relaxed. All the service staff, from the housekeeper on WeChat, Sister Shirley who introduced the hotel (sorry, I'm afraid I spelled it wrong in English), the service aunts, the lobby waiters, the tea house waiters, and the uncles who helped open and close the door, were very kind and gentle. Always smile. The bathroom is great, the room is clean and tidy and smells good. It was a great experience and will definitely come back!

Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for choosing to stay at Dayan Aman Hotel. It is a great honor to receive such detailed pictures and texts from you. The hotel is located on the top of the Lion Mountain, overlooking the winding ancient city and the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Like other Aman resorts, the design of Dayan Aman is adapted to local conditions, using classic elements of traditional Naxi architecture and harmoniously integrated into the ancient city of Lijiang. Providing meticulous and considerate services to our guests has always been what we strive to pursue. We hope to bring the warmth of home to our guests every step of the way.

Daisy.he, the housekeeper, served us very attentively and patiently for two days. The hotel is relatively quiet on the mountain with beautiful scenery and fresh air. Aman Hotel is still as good as ever. The only drawback is that it rained in Lijiang. There are also many mosquitoes. Please remember to bring mosquito repellent.

Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for choosing to stay at Dayan Aman Hotel. The hotel has 35 spacious guest rooms. From the hotel, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Lijiang, the countryside and the majestic snow mountains, including the most magnificent mountain in China - Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. As you said, the hotel environment is very quiet. In the summer at Dayan Aman, you may be accompanied by chirping cicadas, hidden in the mountains and forests by the wind; or the rain washes the eaves, and you can sit and listen to the rain. Providing meticulous and considerate service to our guests has always been what we strive to pursue. We hope to bring the warmth of home to our guests in every possible way. Thank you for your praise of our butler Daisy's service. Looking forward to meeting you again in the future.

The hotel service is really only Aman and others. There are little surprises every day, and the three meals are very in line with local characteristics. You can also overlook the entire ancient city.

Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for choosing to stay at Dayan Aman Hotel and taking the time to write your valuable review. Dayan Aman is built on a mountain overlooking this historic city protected by UNESCO. The name Aman Dayan comes from the transliteration of the Sanskrit word "peace" and the word "Dayan", the ancient name of Lijiang during the reign of Mufu in the 13th century. Providing guests with meticulous and considerate services has always been what we strive for. The hotel is equipped with all-day butler service, which brings home-like warmth to every detail. Thank you for your recognition of our services. As you said, most of the hotel's catering ingredients are sourced from Yunnan's local specialty ingredients, which have strong regional characteristics. I'm glad you like it. In Lijiang in summer, the heat is gone. After the rain, the breeze blows on your face, and the bamboo shadows are picturesque. Even if you don't leave the hotel, we have arranged a wealth of in-store experiences for guests, such as Dongba calligraphy, incense seal script, scripture copying and other activities, which provide a multi-dimensional experience. Feel the culture and slow life of Lijiang. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing you again in the future.

This is my first time staying at an Aman in China. The experience and service are very good. I recommend the beef hotpot and the fire pit dinner. The location of the hotel is also very convenient. It takes only five minutes to walk to the ancient city.

Aman Lion Mountain offers a panoramic view of the ancient city of Lijiang. The ancient city is too commercial and vulgar, while Aman is quiet and elegant. The Wenchang Palace is just a wall away. The hotel room rate includes breakfast and one pick-up or drop-off. The breakfast is of high quality, while the dinner is slightly inferior. The hotel boutique has handicrafts by local masters, and the packaging of Aman's own flower cakes is also very sophisticated.

Dayan Aman is located on the top of the Lion Mountain, overlooking the ancient city, hearing the whisper of the breeze, and watching the jade dragon inviting glasses to the sunset. Move to Wenchang Palace opposite the hotel's teahouse, and you can experience traditional Naxi culture in the ancient building built in 1723. The joy of traveling is to visit several beautiful places, taste some delicious food, touch several cultural rivers, and relax in the natural elegance. Most of the boutiques you mentioned are handicrafts of West Yunnan Intangible Cultural Heritage, Dayan Aman We have joined hands with many cultural inheritors to present to travelers the artistic conception and craftsmanship of traditional Chinese creations. I am glad that you like it. The daytime scenery is peaceful and the time is new. I hope you have a comfortable and enjoyable holiday at Dayan Aman. Thank you again for sharing, and I look forward to seeing you again in the future.
