Can be called the most beautiful residence on Gulangyu Island, Xiamen

Stop saying there’s nothing fun on Gulangyu Island! You just haven’t discovered it yet! Sharing hotel design aesthetics Qishang Rongshe No. 9 Xinghua Road, Gulangyu, Siming District, Xiamen, Fujian Recommended reasons Like a secluded paradise nestled on Yanwei Mountain, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage site on Gulangyu Island. The century-old "Four Banyan Villa," built in 1920, gets its name from the century-old banyan trees surrounding the building. Renovation master Tang Jiansong carefully restored it, preserving its unique and independent new look. The exterior still retains the red brick corridors, with banyan trees entwining and spreading on the outer walls, creating a unique and charming landscape. The circular pool in front of the courtyard cleverly integrates with the building, reflecting the villa in the water and creating a tranquil atmosphere. Inside Rongshe is also the most beautiful bookstore, where many internet celebrities have taken stunning photos. It is also one of the filming locations of actor Ethan Juan. In short, this is an art space that highly integrates contemporary art, local culture, and Nanyang architectural style. Rooms The hotel has only 6 rooms, each equipped with high-quality furniture and modern facilities. From soft and comfortable bedding to intelligent control systems, from exquisite toiletries to spacious private balconies, every detail reflects the hotel’s utmost care for guest experience. Each room’s design adapts to the spatial conditions, showcasing comfort and leisure in natural simplicity. | Facilities Juanzong Bookstore – "China’s Most Beautiful Island Bookstore" Haihai Restaurant – blending traditional Fujian cuisine with modern creativity Wine Cellar – 170m² luxurious private space, surrounded by a relaxed and elegant atmosphere Sangyu Tea Room – occupies the best viewing spot of the mountain and sea scenery at the north tip of Gulangyu Garden Courtyard – 1400m² outdoor courtyard, quietly enjoying the beauty of staggered gardens Art Space – residence travel, important art and cultural exchange, and exhibition activities | Experience Highlights Rooms with exterior corridor-style verandas | Vermilion brick walls and semicircular arch exterior walls | Art exhibitions | Local culture and contemporary art | Architectural reading tours | Natural gardening
