[2025 Quanzhou Hotels] Travel Guide for Quanzhou Lushi Homestay (West Street Kaiyuan Temple Branch) (Updated Jul)

Ever since my first visit to Quanzhou two years ago, I've been longing to return. Perhaps because Chaoshan and Minnan share cultural roots, stepping into this city always feels like coming home. Wandering through West Street and strolling around the old town instantly melted away my work fatigue. I encountered the incense-filled Guan Di Temple, admired the floral headdresses of the Xunpu women, meandered through Xiangfeng Alley, and gazed at the twin pagodas of Kaiyuan Temple standing tall in the distance. Immersed in this space, I felt the beautiful interplay of tradition and modernity. The ancient city keeps renewing itself with many new coffee shops and boutique guesthouses, each with unique charm. When I spotted that perfect window view, I knew immediately - this is where I'll stay, at Lushi Homestay. The window opposite my room framed my quintessential Quanzhou memory: blue skies, red-tiled roofs, and green trees. Though located in the bustling city center, it maintained a peaceful quiet. That night, I enjoyed a relaxing bath and slept soundly. These two days made me fall in love with Quanzhou all over again - starting mornings with nearby vermicelli soup, dunking fried dough sticks completely, and taking evening walks to West Street for crispy-sweet roasted white fruits. My second hometown - I'll be back many more times.

Time seems to pause here... Leaning against the eaves, listening to the rain, Savoring the hues of life’s simple pleasures. No rush, no haste— Just the gentle flow of time weaving its beauty. Resting on the tales of the old street, In the soft evening breeze, Dreaming a dream far from the noise of the world. #ChroniclerOfRomanticLife #SlowedDownMoments #SlowLivingInOldStreets #StoriesOfTimeThroughTheLens #HalfPoetryHalfEverydayMagic #TheFlavorOfACitysMemory #JoyfulMomentsInDailyLife #LushiHomestayQuanzhou #NostalgiaInTheAlleyways

Lushi Guesthouse is located in the heart of Quanzhou's West Street, just steps away from the thousand-year-old Kaiyuan Temple. The guesthouse has been converted from a traditional Minnan red brick house, with the designer cleverly preserving architectural details such as swallow-tail ridges and brick-and-stone work, while incorporating modern minimalist aesthetics. The courtyard features exposed concrete as its base tone, complemented by bamboo lanterns and traditional Minnan artifacts, creating a unique atmosphere where "nostalgic charm" coexists with "design sensibility." Each room is an independent design piece. The duplex rooms feature a loft structure paired with traditional Minnan bamboo woven ceilings. Courtyard rooms come with their own Minnan red brick atrium, where rattan furniture contrasts with brass bathroom fixtures to create a textured feel. The suites incorporate traditional Minnan elements into their design, with walls decorated with art installations made from traditional food boxes. All rooms are equipped with natural latex mattresses and smart toilets, while some room types include tea sets and incense tools. The minibar offers local specialty snacks. Every morning, the housekeeper delivers breakfast baskets from old establishments in the ancient city: standard offerings include noodle soup with vinegar-marinated meat and stone flower jelly drinks, with seasonal specialties like Qingming festival spring rolls and Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings. The rooftop terrace serves Minnan afternoon tea featuring traditionally made "orange cake" and "Baodou cake," paired with special drinks made with Yongchun aged vinegar. The public area provides "Quanzhou Guide" brochures handmade by intangible cultural heritage masters, including maps of lesser-known secret spots. The rooftop observation deck offers a 270° view of West Street's bustling atmosphere with both pagodas in frame—a perfect photo spot. They also prepare special souvenirs and "nostalgic mystery boxes" co-branded with century-old shops. The guesthouse is located in the core "one axis, three areas" zone of Quanzhou's ancient city: a 3-minute walk to Kaiyuan Temple, West Street Market, and Mustard Seed Bookstore; an 8-minute walk to the Clock Tower and Suqing Gate Square; and a 15-minute walk to Zhongshan Road's arcade buildings and Goldfish Lane coffee street.

I was immediately drawn in by the overall design as soon as I walked in. It breaks away from the traditional homestay reception desk and uses a tea table as the reception area. While registering your identity information here, you can also enjoy a warm cup of Quanzhou's unique tea. Located on West Street, very close to the East and West Towers. Truly hidden in the city. Thoughtful service that starts even before you check in. Every response is timely, and the service is thoughtful and warm. The space design offers a new view at every turn. There is even a small art exhibition hidden inside. It feels like living in an art gallery. The homestay's design exudes high quality and taste from the moment you walk in. The courtyard design, the art decorations in the lobby on the first floor, the art design at the stairwell, and the art exhibition area on the second floor all showcase the beauty of art! I must mention that you can see the Kaiyuan Temple from their rooftop.

Take a trip to Quanzhou in autumn And find yourself in summer again Recently, Quanzhou is cool in the morning and evening, so you need to wear a coat A T-shirt is enough at noon This time I stayed at Lushi B&B near West Street It was amazing! Before check-in, the owner called to ask about the number of guests and arrival time. After adding my contact information, they asked about my sleeping habits and made a travel guide for me! They were so considerate! Thank you for the considerate service during my stay! Highly recommended!

Before I went, I was wondering whether it was a hotel or a homestay. After checking the detailed information online, I decided to choose this "small home hidden in the street". It was opened during the Spring Festival 24 years ago, which means it is 99 new. Everything is new and fragrant. There are only 24 rooms in the homestay, and there are three small butlers. When we arrived, it was already around 3 am. The small butler (Xiao Huo Zhi Jiang) was still waiting for us patiently, introducing us to the room information and some check-in strategies (the last two gave a super detailed one! 80) The refrigerator-style air conditioning is really great when you open the door! People who are afraid of heat will love it. The seemingly simple decoration is really comfortable and warm. The design of the small suite really makes you feel like you are back home when you step in. There are all kinds of daily necessities and toiletries. When she arrived, it was early in the morning. It looked like a young lady and young master returned to the big villa hhhh. Today, I went out during the day and found that the decoration of the entire homestay is full of life aesthetics. The corridor at the entrance of the gate is really! Let my pupils enlarge this corridor is super out of the picture! The decoration of the entire homestay is as long as you are not social phobia, every corner is very out of the picture (good, the introduction is here, I need to say so much, it must be not bad)
