This Quanzhou guesthouse has an unbeatable location! Step outside and you're on West Street

Lushi Guesthouse is located in the heart of Quanzhou's West Street, just steps away from the thousand-year-old Kaiyuan Temple. The guesthouse has been converted from a traditional Minnan red brick house, with the designer cleverly preserving architectural details such as swallow-tail ridges and brick-and-stone work, while incorporating modern minimalist aesthetics. The courtyard features exposed concrete as its base tone, complemented by bamboo lanterns and traditional Minnan artifacts, creating a unique atmosphere where "nostalgic charm" coexists with "design sensibility." Each room is an independent design piece. The duplex rooms feature a loft structure paired with traditional Minnan bamboo woven ceilings. Courtyard rooms come with their own Minnan red brick atrium, where rattan furniture contrasts with brass bathroom fixtures to create a textured feel. The suites incorporate traditional Minnan elements into their design, with walls decorated with art installations made from traditional food boxes. All rooms are equipped with natural latex mattresses and smart toilets, while some room types include tea sets and incense tools. The minibar offers local specialty snacks. Every morning, the housekeeper delivers breakfast baskets from old establishments in the ancient city: standard offerings include noodle soup with vinegar-marinated meat and stone flower jelly drinks, with seasonal specialties like Qingming festival spring rolls and Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings. The rooftop terrace serves Minnan afternoon tea featuring traditionally made "orange cake" and "Baodou cake," paired with special drinks made with Yongchun aged vinegar. The public area provides "Quanzhou Guide" brochures handmade by intangible cultural heritage masters, including maps of lesser-known secret spots. The rooftop observation deck offers a 270° view of West Street's bustling atmosphere with both pagodas in frame—a perfect photo spot. They also prepare special souvenirs and "nostalgic mystery boxes" co-branded with century-old shops. The guesthouse is located in the core "one axis, three areas" zone of Quanzhou's ancient city: a 3-minute walk to Kaiyuan Temple, West Street Market, and Mustard Seed Bookstore; an 8-minute walk to the Clock Tower and Suqing Gate Square; and a 15-minute walk to Zhongshan Road's arcade buildings and Goldfish Lane coffee street.
