While doing so, you might unexpectedly encounter wildlife like white eagles, golden pheasants, egrets, muntjacs, and squirrels playing freely. There are also three traditional Fujianese-style residences - Chaicheng Houses, built around the 1930s. They feature front and back halls, with side rooms flanking the front hall, while the back hall houses kitchens, dining rooms, or firewood storage. Step inside, and you'll find a verdant bamboo forest behind, exuding zen tranquility. The hotel comprises five buildings along the Min River: Guiyuan, Heyuan, Qinyuan, Yueyuan, and the main building. Each structure seems to grow naturally from the environment. With only 143 rooms across such vast grounds, it offers unparalleled serenity and privacy. While in Fuzhou, you must try Min cuisine, one of China's eight major culinary traditions. Thanks to the spring-like climate year-round, various delicacies from mountains and seas abound. Local specialties like farm-style scrambled eggs with swallow are both classic and popular.
