Inns in Fujian, China

This hotel is where Wu Shi lived for two months before going to Taiwan. It's conveniently located, and the breakfast is pretty good. However, the facilities are just so-so, which is understandable given it's an old building. The water pressure isn't great, and on our last day, there was a pipe burst in Sanfang Qixiang, so we couldn't even shower. I imagine staying here in the summer would be tough due to mosquitoes and other bugs in an old house. Overall, it has a sense of history, and it's an okay experience for a short stay.

I love staying at Tangtao Yard Hostel. The whole place is historic, homey, comfy and tranquillising. I was so lucky to be greeted by a young boy who is the receptionist at the place. He is super helpful and gave me a map detailing all the major scenic spots at Gulangzu. He even told me where I could find great places for local delicacies, making my whole tour memorable and exquisite. My room was very spacious and quiet. The bedding was spotlessly clean. I fell asleep immediately when l lay on the comfy bed. I would definitely pay a visit here again. Thanks for everything.

Our stay this time was absolutely fantastic! This European-style villa completely exceeded my expectations and added countless wonderful memories to our trip. The exterior of the villa is very grand, with classic European lines and vintage lighting, making it feel as if we were instantly transported to a charming European town. The surrounding environment is serene and quiet, offering great privacy without feeling isolated. Stepping inside was even more delightful! The interior decoration is exquisite and elegant, brimming with a strong artistic ambiance. The fireplace in the living room (even if decorative), the spiral staircase, and the vintage furniture all contributed to a wonderful atmosphere. The room was spacious and bright, and the bedding was comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The villa manager was incredibly thoughtful, responding promptly to communications and offering many helpful tips for local sightseeing. They made our stay feel as warm and welcoming as coming home.

The front desk attendant was incredibly thoughtful. She added me on WeChat and sent the hotel's location, check-in instructions, local guides, recommended specialty foods, and important tips. It was even more detailed than my own research! She highlighted many great restaurants and attractions for us. I also have to mention that I really liked the bathroom style – it was a wet/dry separation, and the toiletries were all of good quality. The service attitude was absolutely excellent. The hotel itself has a simple yet sophisticated modern style.

My parents and I stayed and dined at Fuyu Lou, which is considered the grandest Tulou in the Tulou Prince Scenic Area. Our host, Ah Wen, was incredibly warm and attentive; he even picked us up and dropped us off at the village entrance, and treated us to a delightful tea tasting. The dishes prepared by the auntie were incredibly delicious, allowing us to truly savor authentic Tulou cuisine. The courtyard had a wonderful ambiance, becoming particularly stunning in the evenings when the lanterns illuminated. Our room was also very clean, and the high-quality toiletries provided were a nice touch. When my parents felt a bit chilly at night, the auntie, despite already having gone to bed, thoughtfully brought them extra blankets – we were truly grateful for her kindness! Having explored various other Tulou structures throughout the Tulou Prince Scenic Area, we unanimously agreed that Fuyu Lou stands out as exceptional in every aspect – its rich history, beautiful environment, and the wonderful host. We truly made the perfect choice! Our stay and dining experience at Fuyu Lou was undoubtedly the biggest highlight of our entire Fujian trip!

An unforgettable experience; staying in a Tulou was incredibly special. The host was incredibly welcoming and even gave us helpful tips for our trip! The Tulou itself was meticulously maintained. The room was great and very comfortable. Although our room didn't have an en-suite bathroom, we had convenient access to one in another room. Stepping out, we were greeted with beautiful views of the Tulou's courtyard and the sky. At night, once the Tulou closed to visitors, it became incredibly quiet. The red lanterns were still lit, creating a truly captivating atmosphere. It was also very convenient that we could freely visit the nearby Chengqi Building at night.

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! #QuanzhouHomestay #QuanzhouShangqinglou #QuanzhouWestStreetGuide #WorldHeritageCityQuanzhou #MinnanGucuo

In Tingzhou we had the great privilege of staying in a heritage building converted into a BnB, and this building has an even crazier story - it was the imperial stage-post of Tingzhou, dating back to the reign of Emperor Chenghua of Ming (late 1400s). In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian empire was so massive that it became necessary to develop what was likely the most efficient postal system the world had ever seen up till then. In the following Ming Dynasty, China inherited and refined the imperial postal system so that there was an abundance of stage-posts in the empire to provide lodging for couriers delivering imperial edicts, and traveling officials. If you think it’s expensive to stay in such a gorgeous and unique building, think again. We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and value for money of this place, as well as the friendliness of the staffs.
