In addition to West Street, this lesser-known ancient village in Quanzhou is worth a visit. 🔺It is on the same route as the "Buddhist Kingdom on the Sea" Luojia Temple. You can visit here in the morning and Luojia Temple in the afternoon. 🏛️The ancient village was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. It has a history of 600 years. It was built by early overseas Chinese who returned to their hometowns. It has traditional Minnan-style ancient houses, ancient Roman-style Western-style buildings, and a combination of Chinese and Western Gothic-style buildings. The history and culture here are a complete slice of the history of the South Seas. After countless storms, it still stands quietly here. I wore a Nyonya dress and walked among the ancient buildings, as if I was dreaming of the South Seas. 🚶｜Travel route Chaodong Building > Gun Tower > Wuceng Nunnery > Kengqiang Building > Qiaopi Museum > Juruo Ancient House Bookstore The village is not very big, and you don't have to stick to the route. Every corner has a different view. ▪️Chaodong Building Start your tour of the village here. There is a village history exhibition in the building. The whole building is a three-story Western-style building, consisting of the main building, the auxiliary building, and the dome gate on the right.

It was also a fortress for the villagers to defend the village. The outer wall clearly shows the bullet holes from many years ago (there is a fee to go upstairs now). ▪️Qiaopi Museum Also known as the "Shunyi Building", it is currently the post office building. It is a Spanish-style building made of Minnan red bricks. The second floor is the same location as the Sisters Who Make Waves, where you can take panoramic photos of the village. ▪️Juruo Ancient House Bookstore A two-story ancient building with unique features, both upstairs and downstairs are great for taking photos. ▪️Every corner is full of the atmosphere of the South Seas.

Previously, during a half-day layover in Quanzhou, I discovered a serene corner hidden away from the modern hustle and bustle, about 20 minutes' drive (10 kilometers) from the airport—Wulin Traditional Village. Unlike the bustling West Street adorned with flowers, it quietly stands there, with its distinctive red brick and white stone buildings that blend Minnan and Nanyang styles, telling the story of overseas Chinese's love for their homeland. · 🌲Before entering the village, you can see towering phoenix trees from afar, with their fiery red flowers in full bloom, seemingly welcoming visitors from afar and calling out to wanderers. 🏠Upon entering the village, you will see rows of red brick and white stone buildings, with various deities and mythical creatures on the swallowtail ridges, each with its own unique features. 🏰As you go further in, you will see Western-style buildings such as the Chaodong Building, the Spanish-style Qiaopi Museum built with red bricks, and the Roman-style Western-style building "Gun Tower". They all bear witness to the overseas Chinese who ventured out to explore the new world but never forgot their homeland and gave back to their hometown. 🌟Recommended spots to check out: ✅Chaodong Building ✅Qiaopi Museum ✅Gun Tower ✅Five-story House ✅Juruo Ancient House Bookstore. Ladies can also change into Peranakan costumes here to experience the Nanyang style. What impressed me the most was a coffee shop here where the latte art was actually the God of Wealth, truly reflecting the Fujian people's love and longing for wealth . 👉Directions: 📌Wulin Traditional Village, Jinjiang, Quanzhou 🚗About 20 minutes by taxi from Quanzhou Airport, about 40 minutes by car from the city center 🎫No entrance fee, there is a shuttle bus at the entrance to the village (about a 10-minute walk from the entrance to the village) · I am Gungun, a middle-aged girl who loves photography and hopes to share various experiences along the way with you.

#Mainland China Hotels #China Travel #Mainland China Attractions The hotel is right next to Jinjiang Airport, but this time we took the high-speed rail to Jinjiang Station and then took a 20-minute car ride to reach the hotel. The location is very convenient and very suitable for travelers who have an early flight or arrive late at night and want to rest immediately. This hotel is high-end, with a bright, simple and modern lobby. This time I stayed in a business king-size room, which cost around 400, which I think is very cost-effective. The room is spacious and comfortable, well-equipped and clean. The waiter's attitude is also very friendly. The breakfast options and quality are average, but I will definitely stay here again if I come to Jinjiang next time. Overall personal experience rating 4.5/5 ⭐

#discoverchina #quanzhou #besthotel #china After years of travel restrictions, my first night back in China began at the Kyriad Marvelous Hotel near Quanzhou Jinjiang Airport - and what a welcome it was. The moment I entered my room, a simple voice command - "Close curtains" - made the automated drapes glide shut, instantly transforming the space into a peaceful cocoon. This airport-adjacent hotel delivers remarkable convenience: • Smart Comfort - Voice-controlled lighting/curtains plus USB ports everywhere • Local Flavors - Nearby streets offer authentic Fujian breakfast stalls The thoughtful tech touches (especially those self-closing blackout curtains) erased my jetlag, while the river-view rooms provided serene outlooks. For weary travelers entering China, Kyriad Marvelous proves you don't need to compromise between convenience and comfort.

#discoverchina #hokkien #nightlife #quanzhoutravel Neon lights flickered above us, the scent of grilled meat filled the air, and a voice rose from the stage—raw, melodic, alive. At Jinjiang Sleepless City (Sunshine Times Square Branch), the night doesn’t wind down—it wakes up. We stumbled upon a live house tucked between food stalls and glowing signs, where a local band was pouring their hearts into the mic. The atmosphere? Electric. We grabbed a few cold beers, settled onto open-air benches, and let the music carry us. Skewers sizzled on nearby grills, smoke curling upward with the beat. Each bite of BBQ—spicy, smoky, unforgettable—paired perfectly with the chilled drinks and the rhythm in the air. It wasn’t a fancy concert. It didn’t need to be. It was real, local, full of soul. Strangers clapped along, couples swayed to love songs, and for a few hours, it felt like everyone forgot about time. Jinjiang’s Sleepless City isn’t just nightlife—it’s a celebration of life itself. Come hungry, come curious, and stay until the music fades.

#discoverchina #china #hokkien #starbucks #architecturelovers #unique #coffee Tucked behind carved wooden doors and red-brick corridors, I found it—a Starbucks like no other. In the heart of Wudianshi, surrounded by Southern Fujian architecture and centuries-old charm, sits a coffee shop that blends the modern with the deeply traditional. Starbucks (Quanzhou Jinjiang Wudianshi Branch) isn’t just a place for caffeine—it’s a visual treat, a surprise waiting behind a preserved tradition building. The exterior keeps its historic soul: tiled roofs, arched windows, a courtyard echoing with footsteps. Step inside, and you’re sipping your latte under high timber ceilings, where old meets new in perfect harmony. Every corner is insta-worthy—from the stone steps at the entrance to the blend of heritage woodwork and minimalist design inside. It’s not just about the coffee. It’s about sitting in history, feeling the breeze through the shutters, and realizing that sometimes, the best Starbucks isn’t in a skyscraper—but inside a mansion with stories in its walls. Wudianshi gives you the past. This Starbucks gives it a shot of espresso.

#discoverchina #hokkien #china #familytravel Golden light spilled across red brick walls as I stepped into Wudianshi, and it felt like the past was gently unfolding with the dusk. From evening to night, this historic district in Jinjiang transforms. As the sun dips low, its rays stretch across old alleyways, painting warm tones on Southern Fujian–style buildings. Locals close their shops with a smile, and dinner tables begin to fill. It’s not loud, just lively—with clinking chopsticks and soft laughter spilling out from restaurants like Shijinji Family Banquet. Then night falls, and everything slows. The red lanterns flicker on, casting shadows over cobblestones. In the center, a small pond reflects the lights, still as glass, surrounded by quiet benches and lazy conversations. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time—just walking, talking, or sitting with a cool breeze brushing past. Wudianshi doesn’t try to impress. It simply invites you to breathe deeper, walk slower, and soak in a night where old-world charm meets everyday peace.

#discoverchina #foodie #hokkien #china #must-try The lanterns swayed gently above the cobbled lanes, and the scent of stir-fried garlic floated through the air like a welcome home. Tucked within the traditional streets of Jinjiang’s Wudianshi district, Shijinji Family Banquet (Wudianshi Branch) is where I found Minnan cuisine at its most heartfelt. The building itself, a beautifully restored Fan Zai Lou (Southern Fujian-style mansion), radiates nostalgia—warm lighting, brick walls, and wooden shutters that whisper family stories. The food? Unforgettable. Every dish is freshly cooked, sizzling from the wok to the table. I still remember the umami-rich stir-fried clams, the tender pork with taro, and the soul-soothing soup that reminded me of grandma’s kitchen—even though I’m not Minnanese. It’s the kind of place where meals turn into memories. Locals gather for birthdays, friends toast over seafood, and the staff treat you like a long-lost cousin coming home. Whether for lunch after a temple stroll or dinner beneath glowing red lamps, Shijinji offers more than food—it offers belonging. Open daily: 11:00–15:00, 17:00–21:30.

Years ago, the people of Wulin, Jinjiang, who went abroad to make a living, would return to their hometown and build a small building to symbolize their success. These buildings, nestled among the local red-brick houses, blended the latest Nanyang architectural aesthetics with a mix of Chinese and Western styles. Today, this area is known as the "Overseas Chinese Architecture Museum." In the village, small buildings stand among the crisscrossing paths. Around the corner, you might find Peranakan women taking Trip Moments photos adorned with flowers, while under the shade of trees, kung fu tea stalls are set up, waiting for your arrival. Men in red will brew tea while sharing stories of their distant journeys across the sea. 🌟Highlights: Unique architecture, natural landscapes, Minnan customs, and overseas Chinese culture; 📍Address: Southwest of Xintang Subdistrict, Jinjiang City; 🚉Transportation: Direct buses from within Jinjiang City; 📝Tips: Free admission, accommodation available.

When you stroll in the ancient village of Wulin, the bluestone roads are winding and the ancient houses of southern Fujian are scattered around. It seems as if you have traveled through time and space and returned to the old days full of fireworks. Just then, an ancient shop appeared in front of us. It was "Nanjia Jihao". This store is hidden in an old house with a very southern Fujian style. The exterior wall of the old house has gone through the baptism of time, and the mottled traces tell stories of the past. When you walk into the store, the first thing that catches your eye is the patio in the middle. The patio is not big, but it has a unique world. The green plants are lush and vibrant, as if showing people the tenacity and beauty of life. Several goldfish swim freely in the water, sometimes shuttling between the water plants, and sometimes floating to the surface, splashing tiny ripples, adding a lively beauty to the entire space. Sitting by the patio, with the breeze blowing on your face, the aroma of tea, food and flowers intertwined together makes you feel relaxed and happy. The furnishings inside the store are even more eye-catching. Various old objects are placed just right, and each one seems to be telling the past years. Ancient wood carvings, exquisite porcelain, yellowed old photos... they are quietly displayed there, complementing the architectural style of the ancient houses in southern Fujian, creating a unique style that allows people to immerse themselves in it and feel the fusion of history and modernity. The charm of "Nanjiajihao" goes far beyond its environment. The food and drinks here are equally amazing. As a restaurant specializing in creative southern Fujian cuisine, it retains the flavor of traditional southern Fujian cuisine while incorporating modern cooking concepts and creative elements to bring diners a brand new taste experience. Fuding taro pot is definitely one of the must-order signature dishes. We use high-quality Fuding taro, cut it into even-sized pieces and cook it carefully. The taro is soft, sweet and melts in your mouth. The rich aroma spreads on the tip of the tongue, leaving you with an endless aftertaste. Donghai Three Fresh Seafood skillfully combines the fresh seafood from the East China Sea with local specialty ingredients. The deliciousness of the seafood and the mellowness of the ingredients complement each other. The soup is rich and the taste is rich. Every bite is full of the taste of the sea. In addition to delicious food, the freshly mixed drinks here are also not to be missed. For friends who don’t drink, “Summer Night Breeze” is definitely the best choice. This non-alcoholic drink is made with fresh fruits and unique spices, with a refreshing taste and fruity aroma. Take a sip and you’ll feel as if you’re back in a summer night, with the breeze blowing on your face, feeling extremely comfortable. "Wanderer's Love Song" is tailor-made for friends who like alcohol. The alcohol content is just right, and the taste is soft, accompanied by a faint fruity and wine aroma, which makes people intoxicated, as if listening to a romantic love story.

Living in the hustle and bustle of the city for a long time, I have always longed for a seaside vacation that could soothe my soul. The Qixu Reef Hotel, located in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, fulfilled all my fantasies about a seaside vacation and was an unforgettable healing trip. First impressions upon arrival: After arriving at Quanzhou Station by high-speed train, the hotel's pre-booked car was already waiting for me. The car ride took 75 minutes. As the car slowly approached the hotel, the sound of the waves gradually became clearer. As I stepped into the hotel gate, the white waves lapping against the reefs in the distance immediately caught my eye, instantly soothing my travel fatigue. Stepping into the lobby, the simple yet stylish decoration style, with the front desk decorated with native reefs as the main tone, complemented the sea view outside the window, making me eager to start this seaside vacation. Second, the room: a perfect blend of sea view and comfort I stayed in the Poolside One-Bedroom Suite. It is said that there are only 4 such room types in the entire hotel. Pushing open the glass door, the endless sea is unreservedly displayed in front of you, and the fresh sea breeze wraps the unique atmosphere of the sea into the room. The room is warm and comfortable, with soft beds and exquisite furniture. Every detail reveals the hotel's intentions. At night, I fell asleep to the soft murmur of the waves. In the morning, I woke up in the first ray of sunshine and the sound of the waves. This experience was so wonderful. Third, hotel facilities and services: thoughtful and comfortable The hotel's facilities are very complete. The outdoor infinity pool seems to be connected to the sea. Swimming in it makes you feel like you can embrace the entire ocean. There is also a beach trail. Strolling along it allows you to feel the power of the sea up close. The service is impeccable. I would especially like to thank my personal butler, Wuhoo, a super nice young man. From the enthusiastic reception at the front desk to the thoughtful care of the room service, I felt the warmth of home. Fourth, surrounding exploration: a double feast of nature and culture There are also many places worth exploring around the hotel. The nearby fishing village is full of a strong atmosphere of life. Strolling through it, you can feel the local customs and culture. Walking along the coastline and admiring the beautiful sea views along the way, my body and mind were greatly relaxed. The time spent at Qixu Reef Hotel was a wonderful journey of embracing the sea and reconciling with myself. Here, there is the purest sea view and the most comfortable slow life, allowing me to find a spiritual habitat in my busy life. If you also long for a seaside vacation to escape the hustle and bustle, Qixu Reef Hotel will not disappoint you.

On my first day, I was exhausted from dragging my big suitcase around, but as soon as I saw the hotel sign, I was instantly energized. The staff at the hotel entrance were very welcoming and quickly came to help me with my luggage. At that moment, I knew that my stay would be a great experience. 🛌 Comfortable rooms with attention to detail ✨ I was amazed as soon as I entered my room. The entire room was decorated in a warm and inviting style, with soft colors that made me feel relaxed. I especially loved the bed, which had a mattress that was just the right firmness. Lying on it felt like sinking into a cloud, and I slept until I naturally woke up. The small details, such as the name-brand toiletries and the well-regulated water temperature in the bathroom, were also great. After taking a hot shower, all the fatigue from the day melted away. That night, I also found a small card on the bedside table that welcomed me and included a piece of candy, which made me feel like the hotel really cared. 🍽 Hotel restaurant, a foodie paradise 🍽️ The hotel restaurant was also one of my favorite things about this hotel. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options, both Chinese and Western. My favorites were the freshly made pancakes and freshly squeezed juices. Every morning, I was able to eat my fill and have plenty of energy to explore Quanzhou. One night, I also went to the hotel's dinner buffet, which had an overwhelming selection of seafood, grilled meats, desserts, and more. I ate so much that I was stuffed, but it was so satisfying. The restaurant also had an elegant atmosphere, which made dining there a very pleasant experience. 🏖 Convenient and fun nearby attractions 🎉 Staying here makes it very easy to get around and have fun. Quanzhou has many historical sites and attractions, and you can quickly get to them from the hotel by taxi or bus.

When I returned, I bought some snacks and sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby, enjoying my food and reminiscing about my day. It felt especially pleasant. The front desk staff also recommended many fun places to visit and gave me a lot of useful advice, which made my trip to Quanzhou very enjoyable. 📸 Beautiful photos, a must for social media 📷 This hotel is perfect for taking photos.

At night, I stood by the window, watching the lights twinkle, and it felt very romantic. I also took some night photos to remember the experience. 💕 Overall, this check-in experience was amazing ❤️ The Quanzhou Quanshang Hilton Hotel is truly my new favorite.

I have been concerned about the Qixu Reef Hotel since it was built From opening to trial operation to now available for occupancy Waited about a few months There really is no title party this time These were the happiest 24 hours I’ve ever spent by the sea Hope to share the real stay experience with you · 🏨Personal Interpretation Reef Hotel, a natural reef built on the seaside of Quanzhou, the pure white design sense of the building is connected to the sea, like a beautiful picture scroll of the seaside. Being selected as a member of Global Luxury Boutique Hotels, the cultural heritage of Minnan Soul is fully demonstrated. Amenities such as an infinity pool suspended over the sea, a gym, a cigar room and a tea pavilion are all available. Especially suitable for architecture enthusiasts and travelers who prefer sea view vacations to the experience. · 🏠 Public Area Architecture The public area is my favorite place, besides sleeping even longer than the room. The lobby area next to the front desk is designed in the southern French style, with the endless sea outside the window, as if abroad, I come down here from time to time to sit in a daze, quietly watching the sea. It is recommended to come and take pictures in the morning, the dark blue sky with the interior lighting design is very charming, as if on a cruise ship; A road leading to the sea into the hotel is my favorite architectural space. "The sky is round, the sea and sky are one color" is my understanding of this design. It frames the sky and the sea, as if architecture and nature are cleverly integrated. The second floor public area is full of holiday feel, suitable for coming to lie flat in the afternoon, facing the sea on the right side, is a large lounge chair, suitable for sunbathing. The infinity pool in the middle faces the sea, and the scenery is stunning. The gym on the left also has a large floor-to-ceiling window directly facing the sea. Exercising in this environment is pleasant and very comfortable. Out of the gym there was an area that felt like I was in a "canyon", the high walls on the left and right sides and the big on the ground seemed to make me feel the architectural "beauty of nature". · 🛏️ Room I find the design of the room particularly relaxing, you can see the sea as soon as you push the door open. All the amenities are standard with luxury, and the most memorable thing for me was the welcome card handwritten by the general manager, which was really full of sincerity. · 🍛Meals Because I arrived at the hotel early, after checking in, I went to the restaurant in the village next to it to try it. The seafood in the village is cheap and large, and the taste is also very good, very good value for money. [星眼][星眼][星眼]。 Dinner was Western food in the hotel restaurant. The taste of Western food was worthy of the price. It was among the top ten best I had ever eaten. [Tiptop][Tiptop][Tiptop] My favorite is the breakfast here. In the morning, you can see the beautiful early morning sea view through the glass. It is very relaxing to have breakfast facing the sea. Breakfast is semi-homemade, I recommend the bacon shacha noodles here, which makes me a Zhangzhou person feel delicious There are really not many shacha noodles [Love][Love][Love][Love]

Seven Serene Reef Hotel is more than just a place to stay; it's a key to unlocking Quanzhou's culture. It allows the rugged reefs to dance with the delicate culture, and the ancient pulse of the Maritime Silk Road to beat again in the experience of contemporary travelers. Here, every ebb and flow of the tide is an echo of history, and every taste of Southern Fujian carries the story of the mountains and seas—perhaps this is Quanzhou's most touching travel footnote.

This stay was great. I spent five days at the Hilton Hotel in Quanzhou, Fujian Province. First of all, the room rate was quite affordable. The facilities were excellent. The gym had a sauna and oven. Even on rainy days, I didn't have to worry about having nothing to do. The breakfast was also quite satisfying. I will stay here again if I have the chance.
