EILEEN HORNUnited States

A century-old Nanyang-style colonial mansion experience with full Minnan charm at Gulangyu Island's secluded hotel

【The first sense of ceremony upon check-in】 Before even arriving on the island, I received a thoughtful greeting from the butler☎️ As soon as I got on the island and looked up, I saw the butler lady Already waiting at the pier holding an umbrella🌂 and tea for me~ This kind of treatment feels less like staying at a hotel And more like visiting a wealthy Minnan family🎎 📍【A hidden secret in a red brick ancient house】 The location at No. 38 Zhangzhou Road is truly perfect! ⚡️5 minutes walk to Longtou Road Snack Street ⚡️10 minutes to Shuzhuang Garden and Sunlight Rock This is what it means to be peaceful amidst the hustle and bustle👏 🌿【Healing moments in the old colonial house】 Opening the carved iron gate feels like traveling back to the Republic of China era A lush green courtyard🌳 and dappled light corridors Every corner tells a story My favorite is the guest room terrace on the second floor Brewing a pot of tea and watching the clouds roll by all afternoon☁️ 💁【Service more attentive than a boyfriend】 ▪️Proactively contacted to confirm itinerary three days before check-in ▪️No need to carry luggage on the island🧳 ▪️Even mosquito coils are lit in advance ▪️The handmade afternoon tea snacks are absolutely amazing! 📸【Photo hotspot guide】 1️⃣ Take vintage-style shots on the spiral staircase 2️⃣ Take a photo with the century-old banyan tree on the third-floor terrace 3️⃣ The warm yellow corridor at dusk is perfect for photos 4️⃣ The vintage dressing table in the room is a must-check-in spot
