🌊The Most Romantic Hidden Gem in Jinjiang, Quanzhou! A Secluded Hotel with a Private, Untouched Coastline
As someone who's completely powerless against "mountain and sea aesthetics," the Qixu Reef Hotel I discovered in Jinjiang completely captivated me! This designer hotel, built on a reef, delivers a perfect vacation experience with its 270° unobstructed sea views and Minnan (Southern Fujian) charm.
📍【A Secluded Golden Location】 Hidden on a private coastline in Weitou Village, Jinjing Town, Jinjiang, simply navigate to "Qixu Reef Hotel" (Address: No. 277, South Ring Road, Weitou Village, Jinjing Town). Although it's a 40-minute drive from the city center, it offers the privilege of having an entire stretch of untouched beach to yourself! Driving or taking a taxi is recommended, as the route passes along a stunning coastal road.
🌅【A Soulful Abode by the Sea】
• Every room has a sea view! Floor-to-ceiling windows face the Taiwan Strait, offering stunning views of the shimmering blue waters on sunny days and a more picturesque scene on misty, rainy days.
• My boyfriend's favorite spot is the rocky viewing platform on the terrace (the same spot featured in the first picture!), where taking photos of his back looks like a movie poster.
• The room features a customized toiletries set and a complimentary mini-bar, with a thoughtfully provided sea salt bath bag next to the bathtub.
💁♀️【Service even warmer than Haidilao】 Welcome tea and refreshments are served upon arrival, and our butler, Cici, even hand-drew a map of nearby attractions. Most touching was that she secretly arranged a petal bath in my room after discovering it was my birthday! Other staff members also remember guests' surnames, and the yoga instructor in the morning class even helps adjust your breathing rhythm.
🍜【A Taste of Southern Fujian】 A must-try is the Southern Fujian breakfast set of satay noodles and sea worm jelly! For afternoon tea, we recommend the macarons shaped like oyster omelets. The most stunning experience is the beach BBQ at sunset. Enjoy freshly grilled seafood while watching the sunset, and the staff will even help you take amazing photos of the "people-sea-food" trio.
📸【Photographer's Secret Checklist】
1. Rocky walkway at sunrise (backlighting creates stunning silhouettes)
2. Use a clever angle to create the illusion of the infinity pool connecting to the sea.
3. Take a shot from above the lobby's spiral staircase; the geometric lines are incredibly sophisticated.
4. Bathtub and sea view in the room (wearing a white bathrobe makes for even better photos).
5. Capture the moonlight and the trails of waves at night using a slow shutter speed.
⚠️【Useful Tips】
• Best time to stay: Avoid July-August (typhoon season); September-October offers clear skies and the bluest sea.
• Must-haves: Sun hat, sunscreen, mosquito repellent (the beach ecosystem is amazing).
• Hidden bonus: Ask the front desk for a "Weitou Village Food Map," and you'll be able to enjoy authentic Minnan-style fried pork with vinegar within a 5-minute drive.
This place is perfect for artsy young people looking to unwind, and also for families wanting to give their children a nature education. As the morning light spills across the sea, you'll finally understand what it means to be "home is where the heart is."
