2-Star Hotels in Longyan

Spending a night at Changdi Inn, nestled in the heart of the historic Hongkeng Tulou Cluster, was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences of my Xiamen trip. The inn is located within a centuries old Hakka earthen building, and the moment you step inside, you will be instantly transported back in time. The stay offers an immersive look into traditional Hakka culture and architecture, surrounded by thick earthen walls, wooden beams, and antique details that speak volumes of the past. What mak it extra special was meeting the friendly innkeeper, a 6th generation descendant of the family that built and preserved this Tulou. He shared stories and local insights making the whole experience even more meaningful. The room was simple yet clean and comfortable, blending rustic charm with basic modern comforts. I got to enjoy authentic Hakka meals, lovingly prepared and bursting with homestyle flavor, perfect after a day of exploring. Waking up in the peaceful village setting, watching the locals go about their daily lives, and hearing the birds chirping outside, it's a rare, soulful escape from the city.

I hitched a ride from Yunshuiyao Scenic Area and found it much quieter. I originally planned to stay one day, but because of the beautiful scenery, I stayed an extra day 🤭. I went to the Tulou King first, and then to the Tulou Prince Scenic Area. The guesthouse was cozy and clean, and the owners were very welcoming. Superb! I came alone this time, but I will definitely bring my family next time. Since I hadn't finished exploring the scenic area, the owner thoughtfully carried my luggage to the security booth at the exit. Then I explored at my own pace. There are buses to Longyan and Yongding just 50 meters across from the scenic area entrance. The owner even checked the times in advance so I wouldn't miss my bus. Nice, warm, and clean. I hope the owner's business prospers! Here are some bonus tips for independent travelers: 1. Yunshuiyao felt more crowded and had a stronger commercial atmosphere. I first visited Yongding Tulou King, located a bit higher up on the mountainside, because there weren't many other buildings around. So I went to the Prince Tulou Scenic Area, which is a bit lower down and felt quieter; I personally preferred it there. 2. There are individual electric carts for rent and sightseeing buses for purchase within the scenic area, which are convenient for leisurely exploration. 3. There's a morning market stalls within the scenic area; early risers should check it out. I highly recommend the passion fruit stall across the river from Yangji Winery. Auntie's fruit, small ones weighing 3 jin and large ones 5 jin, is super delicious! I hope she becomes popular and her business improves, but I also hope she doesn't raise prices after she becomes famous 🤭 4. The food and grocery stores in the village and scenic area close relatively early. For a night owl like me, it feels like there are hardly any shops open after 10 PM, and I can't buy anything. So everyone should definitely prepare some snacks in advance, just in case haha 5. The scenery here is amazing, and the guesthouse is very clean. Pictures are attached. I hope this helps those who need it. It seems that after September, there will be round-trip buses from Meizhou, Guangdong to Yongding from Yongding Bus Station. It would be more convenient if friends from Guangdong came to visit, hehe 😁 Lastly, I wish the owner great success in business, and I'll come again next time 👋

This stay was really a surprise! From the beginning of the get off the bus, I felt full of intimate, the front desk check-in was fast, the room type was very good, highly recommended. The room was spotless, the bedding was soft like a cloud, and I slept super heavy at night. The breakfast shop at the entrance of the hotel has many types to choose from, and the boiling water is really delicious! It is only three minutes away from the ancient city of Changting. It is convenient to go to attractions and business districts. Next time you come to live here, you must have five stars!

This is a super warm homestay. It is newly opened, with new equipment, clean and hygienic environment, and spacious rooms. It is completely different from the concerns and pictures when booking. We checked in on New Year's Eve. The proprietress was very welcoming and cooked a New Year's Eve dinner for us. She charged a symbolic fee, which was very warm. This B&B is owned by Zhencheng. The proprietress also took us into the building for free to watch the show on New Year's Eve. She is especially good at taking photos. At the beginning of the year, she came to cook glutinous rice breakfast for us and I gave the boss lady a big hug right away!

To mark the end of our Fujian trip, we chose to spend a wonderful night inside a national key cultural relics protection unit with a 400-year history, immersing ourselves in the life of the Hakka indigenous people. The owner was incredibly hospitable, driving us directly to the entrance of the Tulou and vividly explaining the history of the ”King of Tulous.” Although the rooms were basic, they were clean, tidy, and fully equipped. There was a shower downstairs, and it wasn't hot at night. The only regret was that the red lanterns had already been extinguished when we returned from dinner, so we missed the most beautiful night view.

What an amazing experience! It was so cool to actually stay inside a Tulou. I was lucky that my room even had an en-suite bathroom! The owner was incredibly kind; they waited up for me despite my very late check-in. Since I specifically traveled all the way from Taiwan, the owner thoughtfully lit up the beautiful red lanterns for me, which looked absolutely stunning in photos! They also helped me take pictures and booked my bus ticket down the mountain. They truly go above and beyond to care for their guests! A huge thank you to the owner! I had such a wonderful time. If I get the chance, I'll definitely bring my family and friends to visit again!

The front desk is friendly and the room is large. The hotel is right behind the Ramada. There is a refrigerator, shoe cabinet, and rocking chair in the room. The overall value for money is good. However, the kettle is a bit dirty and the bed is too soft. I have a bad waist and cannot sleep on a soft bed, so I still give it 5 stars.

The host arranged for us to make torches and join in the local Lantern Festival celebrations, which included the 'Tian Xinding' custom – it was a really fun experience! The hotel was very clean and quiet. The host was also remarkably confident in their service and went out of their way to help, even assisting me with receiving a package. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay.

I highly recommend the Yuqinglou Inn in Chuxi! My stay here exceeded all expectations. * **Facilities & Environment:** The Tulou building itself is incredibly grand and impressive, and remarkably well-preserved. The biggest surprise was how new the room's interior facilities were, complete with an independent bathroom that was clean and refreshing. It completely shattered my preconceived notions about old Tulou buildings being inconvenient to live in. * **Stunning Scenery:** The view from the window of the ancient village is absolutely beautiful, and the air is fresh. Waking up early to see the mist swirling around is incredibly therapeutic. * **Warm Service:** The owner is incredibly genuine and welcoming, greeting us like family. The hospitality was truly heartwarming. * **Authentic Cuisine:** I strongly recommend eating at the inn! The stir-fried preserved pork with fresh bamboo shoots and the taro dumplings (yuzi bao) were absolutely amazing. The bamboo shoots were crisp and tender, and the preserved pork was incredibly fragrant – truly authentic Hakka flavors.

To visit Yongding Tulou, you must choose Baifu Leisure Villa. It's really a treasure homestay. More than ten meters away from Zhencheng Building. The key is that there is no need to walk 2 kilometers from the entrance of the scenic spot to have attractions. Too tired. This time I brought my grandson, my first choice is his home. As soon as I enter the house, I feel at home. The proprietress drove to the back door to pick up. The boss greeted tea warmly. The parking lot is large and can park more than 20 cars, and the rooms are fully equipped. Hygiene and clean. The bedding is comfortable, the proprietress burns a hand, and the price is high. After eating, take a few steps to see the Tulou light show and performance. Extremely convenient. Children are unwilling to leave. You Yongding Tulou strongly recommend Baifu Leisure Villa.
