Once only a whispered secret, Aman Summer Palace rests in the former Qingyi Garden — the Garden of Clear Ripples. A place where emperors once sought solace, today the site hums with the echoes of dynasties past. Its stones trace the footsteps of monarchs; its waters home to fragments of time gone by.
Within the resort’s storied walls, architecture and design reflect deep philosophical tradition. Its courtyards, enclosed by stone walls, are interconnected with water features symbolising the Confucian ideal of harmony between people and nature. Rock formations resemble the mountains, representing the Daoist appreciation for nature’s organic beauty and the hallways that lead from room to room tell stories of a scholarly past.
Landscapes weave a tapestry of ancient Eastern Philosphy, and throughout the year, the topography changes with the seasons. Spring with its delicate blossoms that uplift and inspire, and autumn, as it blankets Longevity Hill in golden Ginkgo leaves, bringing warmth and encouraging contemplation.
