"Quanzhou Shangqinglou Inn | A Dream Back to Old Minnan Times
Choosing the right accommodation is incredibly important when traveling to Quanzhou! Staying at Shangqinglou this time made even me, a local Quanzhou native, exclaim: ”This is exactly what a traditional Minnan 'gucuo' (ancient dwelling) should look like!”
”Gucuo Architectural Features: Bringing Childhood Memories into the Inn”
The moment I stepped into the inn, the red brick swallowtail ridges and the wooden courtyard immediately resonated with my Minnan DNA. The vintage pipa decorations, the stone tables and benches in the courtyard, and the aged wooden beams—every detail reminded me so much of my grandmother's house when I was a child. The duplex tatami king room I stayed in was an even bigger surprise; the wooden staircase connecting the upper and lower levels created a clever and stylish space. The room was clean and tidy, making for a very comfortable stay. Sipping a pot of tea and chatting in the courtyard, the unhurried pace of Minnan life instantly returned. It's hard not to fall in love with this sense of ease~
”Location Advantage: Explore the Old City with a 2 Yuan 'Little White Car'”
The inn is located right near West Street—the location is absolutely fantastic! Just a few steps out, you can catch a 'little white car' for 2 yuan per person, which takes you directly to all the ancient city attractions like Kaiyuan Temple, Chengtian Temple, Guandi Temple, and Qingjing Temple. The transportation is incredibly convenient. As a World Heritage City, Quanzhou's rich cultural heritage is fully showcased around West Street. After a tiring day of exploring, returning to the inn feels like coming home to a warm harbor.
”Breakfast Experience: Freshly Made Minnan Flavors to Wake Up To”
What my mother and I were most satisfied with was the breakfast! All the Minnan specialty dishes were freshly prepared that morning. Waking up to a hot, authentic, and heartwarming meal was wonderful. The owner was also exceptionally kind and friendly, like a friend; staying here felt completely familiar.
If you're also looking for a place in Quanzhou that offers a taste of 'gucuo' culture, convenient transportation, and a warm, human touch, you can't go wrong with Shangqinglou!
