#Quanzhou Guxuan Homestay Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Stayed in the warm treasure of a guesthouse in the spring days
I've been longing to visit Quanzhou for a long time, attracted by the human touch and the profound cultural atmosphere of the old city.
Setting off from Guangzhou, it's a 3.5-hour high-speed train ride. I took annual leave to play for 3 days and 3 nights, and the best decision I made for this trip was to stay at this guesthouse!! (Greedy me stayed at both of their locations to experience different sceneries)
Jiadi Lane store (pictures 1-9) is a three-story standalone building in an old alley, about 400 meters from West Street with a 270-degree panoramic window. Outside the window are lush mango trees, making it feel like living in a tropical rainforest.
The 'Ice' room has a small balcony both inside and outside, filled with flowers and plants, next to an antique wooden table and chairs, and you can even overlook the old street's full view with its brick-red rooftops that are very photogenic.
There are three stray cats that sometimes daze on the balcony, sometimes fight in groups, and of course, they will visit and play in your room. The names of the three rooms here are named after the cats: Peanut, Grey Peach, and Melon Skin, which are super lovely.
Jinchai Lane store (pictures 10-17) is a two-story standalone building right in the alley of West Street, making eating and drinking even more convenient. Each room still has plenty of light, and the sun shining through the blinds is especially warm. The retro floral tiles and old wooden cabinets complement each other, full of Southern Fujian charm.
The second floor has a public tea room where you can drink tea, read books, and pet cats when you have nothing else to do, which couldn't be more relaxing.
The guesthouse is run by a couple with a friendliness score of 100 points. The price ranges from $300-500 per night, which is quite affordable overall! The guesthouse doesn't have many rooms and is quite popular, so if you want to stay in a room you like, it's recommended to book 20 days in advance.

This note is dedicated to Quanzhou
A running account record
Quanzhou 'Half the city is bustling, half is celestial'
'Kaiyuan Temple tells half of Quanzhou’s history'
◽️Kaiyuan Temple When you come to Quanzhou, you must visit the grand Kaiyuan Temple
To see Quanzhou's landmark buildings, the Song Dynasty constructed East and West Pagodas: Zhen Guo Pagoda and Ren Shou Pagoda
Outside the temple is the hustle and bustle, inside is the incense
Kaiyuan Temple, where the incense is very strong, has especially many pilgrims during the first lunar month
You can get free incense, pray at Kaiyuan Temple!
These days we stayed in a self-driving hotel in Fujian
Only in Quanzhou, I booked a homestay for three days in advance
Parking is not good in the old town area of West Street, B&Bs hardly provide parking
And there is no elevator
◽️Longling·A Tree Homestay
The room with a large terrace was booked
There happens to be a hairpin shop on the second floor of the B&B
Simply put on hairpins on the second floor, then take pictures on the terrace. It's so photogenic!!!!!!

Quanzhou West Street!! I've stayed at the B&B of my life
👏This place is not just a place to stay, but also a corner of Quanzhou's culture that has been polished by time. The B&B has a unique style, and it was once the filming location for Li Xian and Zhou Yutong's 'Spring Sentiments to a Lover', with its unique beauty, suitable for taking photos and checking in. (I was shocked to find out it was actually a filming location, but the scenery here is really nice! It has an antique charm.)
👀The story behind the B&B is even more legendary. The owner is a retired navy officer, warm and hospitable, making one feel as if bathed in the spring breeze. Right next to it are West Street and Kaiyuan Temple, a peaceful haven amidst the hustle and bustle, stepping into the courtyard is like traveling back in time.
🏡The B&B is transformed from a Minnan ancient house, full of the beauty of the fusion of Nanyang style and Minnan architecture. Located in the ancient alley of West Street 'Old Guan Yi', it has an excellent geographical location, as if one step away could touch the pulse of history.
👉It is recommended to chat with the owner about the culture of Quanzhou, he will recommend local eateries, those gastronomic and cultural experiences, which will enrich your wonderful time in Quanzhou.
📍Address: No. 51, Old Guan Yi, West Street, Licheng District, Quanzhou. Here, waiting for you to discover its charm! 🌟
