In Taizhou Ancient City, time seems to flow at a different pace. Stepping onto Ziyang Street is like entering a living scroll of a thousand years. The bluestone-paved paths trace the texture of history, lined with the enduring layout of Tang and Song dynasty market lanes. Ming and Qing wooden houses exude the warmth of everyday life and the fragrance of freshly baked seaweed cakes. This is a Jiangnan ancient town that still breathes with life. Nestled at the heart of this living canvas, Floral & Qigu Boutique Inn offers a sanctuary where you can immerse yourself in profound history while finding poetic solace for both body and soul.
Heart in the Bustle, Retreat in the Alley
The inn is situated in a core section of Ziyang Ancient Street, enjoying a privileged location. Step outside, and you are amidst the vibrant local atmosphere and authentic snacks. Turn around, and you can ascend the steps to climb the Taizhou Ancient City Wall, renowned as the "Great Wall of the South." Deliberately nestled in a quiet lane just off the main street, we seamlessly blend the convenience of the market with the tranquility of the alleyway. Without traveling far, you can embrace both the "worldly hustle" and "peaceful serenity."
Ancient Charm Reborn, A Tranquil Sanctuary
The name "Qigu" means "dwelling within ancient charm." We have meticulously restored a refined heritage building, preserving its original architectural character and traces of time to the greatest extent while integrating modern comforts and a philosophy of serene aesthetics. The warmth of natural wood, the elegance of white walls, and the delicate beauty of Southern-style courtyards together create a healing space that feels alive and breathable. Room design avoids complexity, focusing instead on the interplay of light, shadow, and layout. Each window acts as a custom frame, bringing views of ancient roof tiles, greenery, or the sky directly into your room. Understanding that quality sleep is the cornerstone of any journey, we provide premium bedding and soundproofing to ensure you enjoy a night of deep, restful sleep within this ancient setting.

From a warm welcome upon arrival to being available for consultation throughout your stay, we strive to be like a local friend, ensuring every inquiry receives a sincere response and your journey is filled with warm memories.
Floral & Qigu Boutique Inn is not merely a place to rest; it is a cultural haven for meaningful dialogue with the millennia-old Taizhou Ancient City. We await your arrival here, inviting you to dwell within its ancient charm and settle your poetic heart.
"Qigu is a newly opened homestay. The best service is the pick-up station Linhai Station and Linhainan Station. It can be arranged in a well-organized manner, especially the ancient city. It takes 30-40 minutes to drive from Linhai Station. There is a lot of peace of mind and the hotel is received. Even in the alleys of the ancient city. ~ I have to say that the hotel is in a very good location. It is parallel to Ziyang Street on Fucheng Road. It takes 3 minutes to walk, so it is very convenient to go shopping. ~ The hotel also has snacks. Mosquito coils are also provided quickly. This time I lived on the first floor, so I had to say that the sound of the stone street was very loud. Clear, the room is not very soundproof. If you are sensitive, you may need to pay attention to earplugs. ~"
