This Quanzhou Homestay! I Never Want to Leave This Nanyang Dream~

Visited Quanzhou five times, and stayed at the same homestay—LIIZEN—three times! No exaggeration, it truly embodies "Nanyang romance" to the core, making me want to linger longer every visit. Tucked away in a century-old alley near Wen Temple and Guan Yue Temple (No. 24-2, Tumen Street), the homestay’s black-and-white cinematic exterior makes you gasp the moment you step inside! The lobby features black-and-white diamond-patterned tiles, warm ambient lighting, and sunlight filtering through lush green leaves outside the windows… Every corner feels like a carefully painted masterpiece, with an air of "effortless elegance" lingering everywhere. The rooms deserve special praise! Spacious enough to dance around, yet every detail—from the vintage lamps to the sheer white curtains—is thoughtfully designed. The bedding is cloud-soft, lulling you into deep sleep; the bathroom has a dry-wet separation and dual sinks, so you and your bestie can get ready without fighting for space; even the keys are vintage-style, so charming you won’t want to let go! The service is exceptional! The butler helps with luggage the moment you arrive, responds instantly to requests, and even gifts you a hand-drawn map, chilled shihuagao (so refreshing and delicious!), and souvenirs upon departure. It’s not just a stay—it’s like coming home to a friend’s place. Perfect for exploring too! Just a short walk to Kaiyuan Temple, West Street, and Goldfish Lane, where Quanzhou’s historic alleys and old-school flavors come alive. Craving a bite? Try the four-fruit soup, vermicelli soup, or braised pork zongzi—the aroma alone is irresistible! Quanzhou’s charm is best savored slowly, and this homestay is the "sweet beginning" of that experience. I chose it again for my third trip because it’s more than just accommodation—it’s a journey crafted with heart. (P.S. On sunny afternoons when light spills through the windows onto the plants, be sure to sit in the common area and daydream—that’s the slow-paced Quanzhou life you’re here for ✨)
