Qixu Quanzhou: Staying in a Department Store with a View of the Clock Tower

Qixu Quanzhou: Staying in a Department Store with a View of the Clock Tower Qixu Clock Tower, located in the heart of Quanzhou, was originally the Clock Tower Department Store established in 1979, now transformed into the Qixu Clock Tower Hotel. The building retains the inscription "Quanzhou Clock Tower Department Store" and features 48 simply yet elegantly designed rooms. Here, you can gaze upon Quanzhou's East and West Pagodas and the old city; witness the rare tranquility of West Street in the early morning, briefly reverting to its former appearance; and watch the morning sun shine through East Street, casting light on the pinnacle of the Clock Tower... Quanzhou's ancient city is like a serene haven amidst the torrent of time, where ancient civilization is meticulously preserved. While eastern Quanzhou rapidly develops, the western part remains a testament to the city's enduring prosperity and the lives of its people across generations. · 🔸Qixu in the heart of the ancient city offers a bird's-eye view from above. The rooftop terrace is an excellent spot to admire the Clock Tower and the red-brick ancient houses, serving as a perfect viewing platform! · 🔸Both the bar counter and room windows provide photo opportunities with the twin pagodas of Kaiyuan Temple. A walk to Kaiyuan Temple is just 600 meters away, taking only 7-8 minutes. · 🔸Qixu's restaurant features numerous glass windows, each offering a unique perspective of the ancient city. The crisscrossing staircases add a retro charm—don't miss it! · "Half the city is bustling with life, half the city is touched by the divine." Staying here allows you to truly grasp the depth of this saying.
