Nachi Quanzhou｜Amidst the Bustle of West Street Lies a Pond of Timeless Serenity

In the Buddhist city of Quanzhou, by the Xihou Pond in Gantang Lane on West Street, there's a homestay called "Nachi." Upon entering, you're greeted by the fresh scent of grass🌿 and the gentle murmur of an untouched mountain stream, where fish🐟 play in the ripples. The camphorwood beds exude warmth, and the tea lounge is adorned with a hanging plaque reading "Heavenly Official Bestows Blessings." Each guest room bears auspicious names like "All Things Go Smoothly" and "Good Fortune and Happiness," embodying the host's heartfelt wishes. The soul of this homestay lies in its wood. "Nachi" is built with camphorwood as its backbone—every piece of furniture is handcrafted by seasoned artisans: the bed frames are carved with intertwining lotus patterns, their rounded edges carrying the warmth of bygone days. Even the drawer handles on the nightstands are made from natural tree burls. Sunlight filters through sheer curtains, casting an amber glow on the wood grain, while a faint scent of wood resin lingers in the air—reminiscent of sun-dried blankets🌞 or the comforting aroma of a grandmother's living room from childhood, effortlessly putting guests at ease. Amidst the liveliness of West Street and the tranquil shallows of Xihou Pond, "Nachi" weaves Quanzhou's nostalgic charm into every piece of wood, every drop of water, and every heartfelt blessing.
