In AD 353 the calligrapher Wang Xizhi gathered poets beside a winding stream near Shaoxing, floated wine cups down the water, and wrote the Orchid Pavilion Preface, one of China's most famous pieces of calligraphy. Ahn Luh Lanting, on 9.2 hectares at the foot of Mount Kuaiji, rebuilds the scene he described: tall bamboo, clear streams and steep ridges. Adrian Zecha, who founded Aman, co-founded the brand.
