Just outside Hangzhou, the “City of Heaven,” lies Amanfayun, a truly remarkable enclave where 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 46 guest rooms, suites, and villas tucked within the scenic tea fields and forestland are identical. Many are located in original structures that date back 100 years, yet they feature the most modern amenities, including heated floors. Traditional tea in the Tea House is a must.

Insider tip: Be sure to visit the Ling Yin temple, one of the most revered in China, and arrive in time for one of the monks’ chanting sessions.
