Shangqinglou Qing Dynasty Courtyard Inn

Who can resist a guesthouse this photogenic?! I was snapping pictures from the moment I arrived until I left, seriously! 😂 Morning, afternoon, and even at night, I was taking photos! **Environment:** What a hidden gem, you wouldn't believe how spacious it is inside! Especially the courtyard – it's so quiet, comfortable, and relaxing, it reminds me of lying in my grandma's yard as a kid, enjoying the cool breeze and looking at the stars! **Hygiene:** Very clean, no strange odors. **Facilities:** The Xiaomi speaker in the room has great sound quality, and the air conditioning is fantastic. Quanzhou has been really hot these past few days, so the AC was super comfortable, I almost didn't want to leave the room! 😃 The shower and automatic toilet in the bathroom were also very convenient to use. **Service:** The guesthouse auntie is so kind, and the owner is really welcoming. It felt just like being at home, not commercial at all. Before check-in, they even kindly shared some important info and travel tips. Oh, and they serve breakfast from 8-9 AM. It feels like home-cooked food; the purple sweet potato and corn were so delicious, haha! It was clean, simple, and heartwarming. Highly recommend this guesthouse!

Housed within an ancient residence, the Shangqing Tower was an absolute delight!

The guest rooms were clean and odor-free, with simple yet refined furnishings, making our stay with the kids very comfortable. The host was warm and attentive, ensuring a hassle-free check-in and stay. We could freely take photos and stroll around the courtyard. The location was convenient, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle. The value for money far exceeded that of a typical hotel. Our family trip this time was perfect, and we will definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit.

As a seasoned traveler, I thought I could easily predict the guesthouse's breakfast offerings: either A, B, or C... So, I woke up at 6 AM and headed straight to the old market to try various old establishments, filling myself up first, and then bringing back what my girlfriend likes to eat for her. After eating our fill, I was surprised when I entered the guesthouse and saw the chef busy preparing breakfast in the first courtyard. After one bite, I was stunned; every single dish was incredibly delicious. So, despite the risk of my blood sugar skyrocketing, I went for a second round and cleared my plate! [Color]
