Stay on Gulangyu Island! So chic and retro you'll drain your phone battery snapping pics~

Warm hospitality greets you at the gate—the hostess welcomes you with iced drinks while bougainvillea spills over courtyard walls, dappled light creating living art. But the rooms! Floor-to-ceiling windows frame lush Sunlight Rock views, sea breezes carrying ocean whispers. Lazing in bed with mountain and cloud vistas—this is true "oceanfront" living! The room size blew my mind! Gray-white tones with solid wood furniture, rattan lamps and rugs creating full retro vibes📸 Central heating + negative ion hair dryers combat southern China's damp winters perfectly. With soft music playing, a petal bath and face mask had me too blissed out to leave (not really~). Toiletries feature Gulangyu Botanical Garden collab essential oils with refreshing scents, while the minibar's pineapple cakes are freshly baked—sweet but never cloying~ Breakfast deserves applause! Freshly cooked vermicelli soup with just-fried crullers is soul-warming; sea worm jelly with wasabi and oyster omelets with duck eggs showcase authentic Xiamen flavors. The pièce de résistance? The pantry—brew tea or coffee anytime, then sip on the terrace watching red-roofed villas and ocean waves. Now that's vacation mode! The hotel itself is art! A renovated Nanyang Chinese mansion where Baroque arches meet raw concrete sophistication. Even hallways display vintage photos—every corner begs for Instagram. My boyfriend kept snapping, saying my dress outshone Gulangyu's bougainvillea (just a little boast~). 5-minute walk to Sunlight Rock's summit for breathtaking island views; 10-minute stroll to Shuzhuang Garden's piano pier—healing sunset walks with wave sounds. At night when Longtou Road quietens, steaming ginger duck and peanut soup shops still glow. One bowl and you'll twirl with contentment~ In summary: This B&B masters "boho chic," "local charm," and "detail obsession"! From linens to amenities, everything shows care. Perfectly located yet crowd-free—bring your camera for 1000 unique shots. Gulangyu travelers, trust me—this stay's a win!! 📍Yuhai Jishanju
