Who says Quanzhou only has West Street and Zanhua? This time I discovered a fairy tale kingdom hidden by the sea — Quanzhou Oulebao Resort. Here, you can stay in a hotel where you can feed giraffes, walk through a dreamy deep-sea tunnel, check in at a swan castle that looks like it was moved from Europe, and watch a stunning grand circus!

Then head to the dolphin pavilion for a show or book an interaction.

Quanzhou is a city you must visit at least once in your lifetime. And coming to Quanzhou in winter and staying at Qingpu Cultural Inn (Jinjiang Wulin Branch) is an immersive deep dive into Minnan culture spanning a century. This is not just a hotel, but a living museum of Minnan architecture. 🏮 Stay in a century-old overseas Chinese architectural complex The inn is located in the traditional village of Wulin, Jinjiang, restored from a cluster of Nanyang-style "Fanzi Lou" buildings and Minnan mansions. We stayed in "Huaihe Building," a grand Roman-columned Western-style house. The rooms are modern and comfortable inside, but opening the window reveals exquisite carvings, stained glass, and red brick walls. In the morning, sunlight streams through the courtyard to wake you; in the evening, watch the sunset turn the entire village golden red from the balcony. The blend of history and the present is truly magical. 🎎 Cultural core: a daily art experience Qingpu’s biggest feature is its “art and cultural activities,” different every day, led by local intangible cultural heritage masters. We participated in two sessions: Jincang Embroidery Experience: A unique embroidery technique from Fujian using gold thread to create three-dimensional patterns on silk. The teacher guided us hand-in-hand to stitch a simple leaf, requiring great patience with every stitch. The delicacy and sense of accomplishment upon completion cannot be replaced by any souvenir. Quanzhou String Puppet Show Appreciation and Interaction: In the evening, in the ancient house of the inn, a puppet master performed classic scenes for us. After the show, we tried manipulating the puppets ourselves. Though it looks simple, the mechanisms are cleverly designed and highly entertaining. We instantly understood the charm of this intangible cultural heritage. 🍜 Minnan flavors on your palate Breakfast features authentic misua (thin wheat noodles) porridge with optional toppings, warm and comforting. Afternoon tea offers Minnan specialty pastries paired with Tieguanyin tea. For dinner, you can book Minnan home-style dishes at the inn or walk a few minutes to village restaurants to try local delicacies like Tusu jelly, ginger duck, and vinegar pork. Eating a steaming pot of ginger duck in winter warms you from the stomach to the heart. Wulin village itself is a treasure. During the day, dress up with your bestie in qipao or Nanyang-style dresses (available for rent at the inn) and wander among the staggered red brick buildings, snapping photos as if traveling back to the Republic of China era. It’s much less crowded than Quanzhou West Street, allowing you to quietly appreciate the architectural beauty. Qingpu Cultural Inn gave our Quanzhou trip its soul. It transformed us from “tourists” into “experiencers,” truly touching the texture of Minnan culture. If you and your bestie are interested in history, architecture, and handicrafts, and want a culturally rich winter, this is your perfect choice.

When traveling to Quanzhou, besides visiting West Street, you should also set aside half a day to stroll through the Wulin Traditional Village to admire the charm of the century-old Nanyang-style architectural complex. AJ came here mainly to take photos 📷 but was deeply moved by the history here. The architectural styles include Minnan red brick mansions, modern Gothic, Roman-style Western buildings, and Fanzi buildings, each carrying stories of patriotism and family affection. . 1️⃣ Patriotic Building This grand building was co-built by two overseas Chinese. There is an exhibition inside, and if interested, you can learn about the story behind this residence. 2️⃣ Qiaopi Museum Qiaopi refers to letters and remittances sent between overseas Chinese and their families. It is now the Postal Building! From upstairs, you can see the entire village. 3️⃣ Gun Tower A Roman-style Western building originally used to defend the village. You can overlook the ancient village here, and the view is visually stunning! 4️⃣ Five-Story Mansion Built in 1936, this five-story building features ancient Roman-style Western architecture, while the first and second floors retain traditional Minnan mansion structures! It was designed by a British architect at the time. 5️⃣ Huaiji Tea House The entrance is a classic photo spot where you can capture the eaves. The interior of the shop has a quiet Chinese-style ambiance. 6️⃣ Qingpu Cultural Inn The same style as Zhao Liying’s! AJ specially stayed here for a night to experience the Minnan mansion and Wulin’s night view. It’s also convenient for taking photos early the next morning when fewer people are around 📸 There are five or six mansions in total, and each is a popular photo spot where many photographers come to shoot. 7️⃣ Chaodong Building A three-story Western-style building with ancient Roman architectural style. AJ couldn’t find it at first, but when checking out, the inn’s manager took me to the parking lot and specially showed it to me. · 📍 Navigation: Wulin Traditional Village, Jinjiang, Quanzhou 🅿️ Parking: Large parking lot at the entrance, 10 RMB per visit 🎫 Admission: Free 🙋‍♀️ AJ’s tour route: Patriotic Building - Dedou Building - Huaiji Tea House - Qingpu Cultural Inn - Qiaopi Museum - Five-Story Mansion - Gun Tower - Chaodong Building . 🏠 About accommodation: This place is close to the airport and conveniently on the way to Luojia Temple. AJ stayed at the Qingjin Cultural Palace here the night before returning. The entire guesthouse is an ancient residence, and you can enjoy the night view of Wulin. It’s also very convenient for changing outfits and taking photos the next morning. Additionally, guests get discounts at the tea house and coffee shop.

We always thought Minnan charm was only found wandering old alleys, until we stumbled upon "Yu Jian Minnan" and discovered that red brick ancient houses can tell stories, and arcade streets can sing. This is not just an ordinary cultural district, but a living museum of Minnan life—Nanyang floral tiles reflect the swallowtail ridges, the aroma of tea mingles with the lingering sounds of Nanyin music, and even the breeze carries the gentle taste of the old days. 🏮 Immersive Experience, Unlock Minnan DNA - Architectural Aesthetics: A replica of century-old arcade streets, with red bricks and white stone double brackets, intricately carved wooden windows—every snapshot feels like a scene from the "Love to Fight to Win" music video - Intangible Cultural Heritage Revival: Watch hand puppets wield the golden hoop staff, listen to Nanyin pipa performances of "Plum Blossom Exercise," and try traditional crafts like lacquer line carving and bead embroidery yourself - Taste Time Travel: Satay noodles paired with local bamboo worm jelly, four-fruit soup with mochi, old-fashioned snack stalls under bamboo canopies—amid the lively atmosphere lies the secret code of old Xiamen 📌 Practical Guide, Ready to Go - Tickets: 68 RMB/person on weekdays, 88 RMB/person on weekends (includes intangible cultural heritage experience voucher), 20% off with student ID - Opening Hours: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM (night light show starts at 7:30 PM, recommended to stay until dusk) - Transportation: 800 meters walk from Metro Line 2 "Lingdou Station," self-driving navigation to "Yu Jian Minnan Parking Lot" (free for 3 hours) - Hidden Perks: Wear Hanfu or qipao to enter and receive a limited edition tea bag; the first 50 visitors daily get a puppet show experience voucher 🚶 Recommended Route: Explore the Soul of Minnan in One Day Morning · Time Tunnel 9:30 AM Start at the "Qiaopi Museum," see the patriotism in the yellowed overseas Chinese letters → 10:30 Enter the "Tea Harbor Wharf," experience the tea porter drama → 11:30 Listen to a Nanyin music gathering at the "Opera Stage Square," sip some Tieguanyin tea and rest Afternoon · Everyday Life 1:00 PM Dive into "Da Cuo Li" for satay noodles and fried jujubes, listen to grandma’s stories of old flavors → 2:30 Visit the "Handicraft Workshop," pick a lacquer line carved bookmark as a souvenir → 4:00 Climb the "Sea View Terrace" to overlook Lujiang Road and catch a glimpse of Gulangyu Island Evening · Light and Shadow Secret Realm 7:00 PM Watch the "Minnan Memories" water screen movie, where red brick walls transform into a giant screen → 8:30 Carry a lantern and stroll through the "Night Alley Market," buy a handmade lantern to light your way home 💡 Local Insider Tips 1. Off-peak Secret: Weekday mornings have the fewest visitors; on weekends, enter after 3:00 PM to avoid tour groups 2. Best Photo Spots: Carved wooden railings on the second floor of the opera stage, rope posts at Tea Harbor Wharf, light and shadow in the Da Cuo courtyard—100% great shots 3. Hidden Fun: Find the "Grandpa Guide" in blue cloth clothes; he will show you hidden old photo Easter eggs in the wall cracks 4. Souvenir List: Lacquer line carved keychains (38 RMB), bead embroidered coin purses (58 RMB), traditional turtle jelly (25 RMB/bowl) 5. Avoid Pitfalls: Snacks inside are relatively expensive; bring your own water bottle for free drinking water, and compare souvenirs before buying When the sunset gilds the swallowtail ridges, and Nanyin music drifts through the arcades onto the bluestone pavement, you will suddenly understand what "every corner of the neighborhood tells a story" means. Don’t just be a tourist—come to "Yu Jian Minnan" and be a Minnan local for a day—here, every brick has warmth, and every melody carries nostalgia.

Quanzhou Shuitou Pullman: A cloud-level pool facing the bay, French luxury hidden within Minnan red bricks!💥 When the elevator doors open on the 23rd floor, the 270° panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows frame the waves of Anhai Bay like a flowing oil painting; turning around, you encounter the clash of Minnan red bricks and French crystal chandeliers—this Pullman hidden in Quanzhou’s “World Stone Capital” uses a mixed aesthetic of “Minnan soul + French bone” to completely overturn your imagination of business hotels!🎨 🌊 The “Stone Capital Viewing Deck” in the clouds: The hotel’s location is a true “battle of the immortals”: backed by the industrial heartland of Shuitou Town, known as “China’s Stone City,” yet it captures the entire Anhai Bay. All 308 rooms are designed with a “bay view” perspective; in the morning, open the window to see fishing boats cutting through golden mist, and at night, lie in the bathtub counting the neon lights of the cross-sea bridge. Even more amazing is the 23rd-floor sky infinity pool—swim to the edge and below you is the endless flow of traffic, ahead is the steel dragon of the cross-sea bridge, this “floating sensation” makes internet celebrities scream collectively!🚗💦 🛏️ Minnan Easter eggs in French genes: The moment you enter the lobby, you experience a triple sensory shock: the first glance reveals Pullman’s signature Hermès orange intertwined with crystal chandeliers for French elegance; the second glance shows the unique Minnan ancient house “brick out, stone in” red brick walls; the third glance is the front desk background wall with a “World Stone Capital” map made of stone. More surprises are hidden in the rooms: the bedding is from a French brand, but on the coffee table sit Yongchun aged vinegar and Anxi Tieguanyin tea; the bathroom mirror frame is carved from local stone but paired with a Dyson hairdryer—this “hybrid feeling” captivates both business and leisure guests.🛋️🍵 🚗 15 minutes through time and space: The hotel’s location is a “time folder”: a 10-minute drive to Anping Bridge (China’s longest existing stone harbor bridge), just over ten minutes to Wuli Bridge Cultural Park for Hanfu photoshoots, and twenty minutes to the trendy “Little Kenting” Weitou Bay. Even more surprisingly, the hotel’s own “Pullman Kitchen” has invited a Minnan cuisine intangible cultural heritage inheritor—earthworm jelly paired with French foie gras, oyster omelet wrapped with black truffle, this kind of “dark cuisine” has become a TikTok hit!🦪🍴 The comment section is waiting for your debate: dare to challenge the “floating photo” at the 23rd-floor sky pool? Does Minnan red brick walls with French chandeliers really not clash? Quickly share your most magical mixed-style photos, and with over a hundred likes, reveal the “hotel’s hidden menu: what the stone bosses eat at private banquets”!📸 (Secretly: the rooftop bar’s “Stone Capital Special” cocktail uses Yongchun aged vinegar as the base spirit, even more intoxicating than a mojito~)

While snow falls in the north, Quanzhou basks in the millennium-old warm sunshine of the "Maritime Silk Road"—with an average January temperature of 10℃ to 18℃, the sunlight is clear but not glaring. The shadows of the arcade buildings on West Street slant across the red brick ground, the mulberry tree at Kaiyuan Temple has shed its last leaf, the archway of Qingjing Mosque frames the deep blue sky, women from Xunpu wear flower hairpins as they walk around Shunji Bridge, and the sea breeze carries the salty freshness mixed with the scent of Buddhism past your ears. There are no cold waves, only a slight morning chill; no crowds, just grandmas frying rice noodles at the temple entrance and grandpas telling stories in tea houses...

On this trip to Quanzhou Jinjiang, I discovered a hidden gem hotel, the Marco Polo Hotel Quanzhou Jinjiang. It is considered the first international brand hotel in Jinjiang, operating for over 15 years, and is one of the most established hotels in Jinjiang and the entire Quanzhou area. The hotel has a great reputation locally and is very popular among tourists and business visitors. 1. The hotel is located in the core area of Jinjiang – the Sunshine Times Square in the Jinjiang Central Business District, adjacent to major shopping areas, enjoying convenient transportation: only a 5-minute drive from Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport, 30 minutes direct to Jinjiang Station, and 1 hour to the Xiamen metropolitan area. Popular attractions in Jinjiang are very close to the hotel, just about a five to six-minute taxi ride. It is about 13 kilometers to Quanzhou city attractions, which is also quite quick by car. For travelers coming to Quanzhou, whether arriving or departing by plane, Marco Polo Hotel is the first choice for accommodation. 2. The hotel lobby is very spacious, featuring an 18-meter-high dome ceiling design that is quite distinctive. Such a high ceiling is rare in Quanzhou hotels and adds a luxurious feel. Sunlight pours in through the dome glass, making the interior very bright with excellent natural lighting. 3. The hotel has a total of 280 rooms and suites, with a stylish design, spacious layout, and equipped with modern comfortable facilities and technological support. The guest rooms on the 15th floor VIP level have been fully renovated, making the stay very convenient and comfortable. I was fortunate to stay in the Marco Polo Suite this time, which has excellent lighting with full floor-to-ceiling windows that capture the outdoor blue sky and white clouds. Besides the spacious bedroom, living room, and bathroom, the Marco Polo Suite also has a separate tea room for drinking tea and reading. The tea room is fully equipped with drinking water, quality tea bags (paid), tea sets, and even a mahjong room, allowing guests to play mahjong with visiting friends for relaxation. 4. I have to praise the hotel’s executive lounge, which is truly rare as it is open all day, offering breakfast, afternoon tea, and happy hour, all of excellent quality. The happy hour is especially outstanding, featuring pan-fried sole, cured beef with red wine sauce, chicken, beef, pork, seafood, Margherita pizza, duck skewers, meat sauce pasta, and more – so abundant it’s like a dinner spread. Truly commendable. The lounge has also been renovated, with a very modern and stylish overall look. 5. For dining, the all-day dining restaurant Marco Polo Café is located on the 2nd floor of the hotel, with island views on all sides and tall floor-to-ceiling windows providing full natural light and a fashionable atmosphere. Besides the breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner offer Chinese and Western à la carte options such as steak, pasta, salad, and skewers, all reasonably priced. The ingredients are guaranteed fresh and much better than outside options. 6. The lobby bar on the 1st floor has high ceilings and great lighting, where you can enjoy various premium Chinese teas, specialty coffee, cocktails, and afternoon tea. Prices are quite affordable, and it’s a great way to relax by sitting in the lobby bar when staying at the hotel. 7. It’s worth mentioning that the hotel’s leisure facilities are also quite comprehensive, offering a range of recreational services and amenities. The gym on the 6th floor is spacious and well-equipped, with a 250-square-meter outdoor swimming pool and a jacuzzi, plus a spa center for relaxation.

🎈Speechless at the "Sea" of Fujian Family, I recently discovered a super treasure trove of a place—Fujian's Golden Lake! This place is a real-life version of a water wonderland. I was completely captivated after just one visit, and I have to recommend it to you all 💖 🌅When the first rays of morning sunlight sprinkle on the lake's surface, the entire Golden Lake seems to be gently covered by a golden veil, sparkling ✨ The lake water is crystal clear, and you can see small fish and shrimp happily darting around. The surrounding mountains rise and fall, covered in lush greenery, complementing the lake water and resembling a breathtaking landscape painting 🖼️ 🚤We took a boat across the lake, the gentle breeze bringing bursts of coolness. Along the way, unique peaks and strange rocks continuously came into view. Some resembled lifelike camels 🐫, others looked like majestic generals. Nature's extraordinary craftsmanship is truly amazing! 💧One of the must-sees is Ganlu Temple.

It takes 25 minutes to get to the hotel by taxi from Quanzhou South, about 50. The street view along the way doesn't look like a scenic spot, so I was quite nervous, so I chatted with the driver Ask about the quality of this hotel and its location The driver said that this hotel is not a chain, but is owned by a local boss in Quanzhou. Many locals hold banquets here, and it has a good reputation. In addition, it is not far from the stone lions on West Street in the old city of Quanzhou and is located in the middle (suitable for visiting many attractions in Quanzhou) When we were about to arrive at the hotel, we saw its building appearance and we thought it would be good. The check-in was very efficient and they also gave us a baby toiletries set. After seeing the furnishings in the lobby, I decided to extend my stay for 2 nights (because I originally planned to take a look after arriving) I am very satisfied with the 50-square-meter double room (including 2 breakfasts). Accommodation is arranged. Let's go shopping and eating in Quanzhou for the next two days. I plan to go to West Street tomorrow. Although the internet says it's crowded, I'll go for a walk since I'm here. I want to go to Shishi the day after tomorrow. I haven't made a guide yet, so I'll stay here first. I'll talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. I don't want to be a special forces soldier. I'll do whatever I encounter. I believe everything is the best arrangement.
