If you are planning a trip to Longyan to see the old Mulan-style tulou’s土楼, I recommend booking your accommodation here! Living in these rustic yet super clean surroundings adds to the experience. The hotel owner, Stephen, is extremely helpful with planning day trips to the different villages in the area (at a fair price), so there’s no need to book anything before talking to him. Overall, I felt welcomed by the family - and the food at the inn is good too!☺️✨
The location is great. There are a supermarket,2 convenience stores and a hot pot restaurant around. You can rent a scooter or car in 250m away. Moreover, the host picked up as at the airport and give us a ride to the harbor for free! The breakfast is healthy and full of the host’ concerns. I’ll definitely recommend to my friends and family.
ゲゲストExcellent service from the lady boss and the staff. From the time I contacted her, she sent me lots of information about getting to the guesthouse. More importantly, she followed up with me to ensure that I am on the right track to the guesthouse. This was very much appreciated as I had a flight delay and that messed up my original travel plan. The lady boss was very proactive in ensuring that I find my way to the guesthouse. The lady boss' daugther is very cute and adorable. She shared part of her orange with me and when I told her that I liked it, she went off and got one for me! Even wanted to help me with my luggage but a little difficult as she's only 8 years old.
The guesthouse is located on top of a small hill and lady boss will pick up guests at the bottom of the hill; actually, in my opinion, hardly needed as it's only 10 minutes or less walk up a gentle slope but she does the pickup as part of the service that they offer.
The room is very nice and clean. The toilet is western style and has a very nice touch - spot lights are installed on the toilet ceilings and when the nights are cold, you will really appreciate the warmth from these lights after coming out from your shower!
And finally, they will drive guests out to 2 of the best viewpoints for the Tianluokeng cluster at no additional charge.

ゲゲストThe accommodation provides spacious and clean rooms and is perfectly located in the Tulou scenic area at the southern part of Taxia village and very close to both the 田螺坑 土楼 and 河坑 土楼 as well as the 裕昌 building. All of them can be reached by car in just a few minutes.
I arrived at the Inn without a car myself and the owner not only helped me organize the visits but even offered to drive me to several nearby tulou. We had the chance to share several meals prepared by his wife, which were all excellent, and some very good tea from the region. The host is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor - we talked a lot after I arrived despite my very limited Chinese.
All in all, I can recommend this place very much - I would come back anytime if I decide to visit the area again.
(P.S. make sure to ask the host about the fireflies nearby - seeing them under the starry night is a mesmerizing experience and was one of the highlights of my trip to Fujian)
DDamian GrayWe stayed two nights and loved our stay. We had a room with the balcony area and that was lovely. The room was finished to a high standard and lots of quality touches and care into the details. The hosts were fantastically friendly, helpful and accommodating even though we had no real Chinese and they had limited English. The Villa was in a quiet location on the hill away from the busy areas of town which meant it was quiet and peaceful in the evening and we hardly heard the other guests during our stay. They helped us organise the Ferry and had a porter ready when we arrived. They gave us a great recommendation for food that was so good we ate there both nights. We didn't use the pool as it was late January and a little cold but it looked great for a dip in warmer months. The only negative we had was the door lock and handle didn't work properly and so the staff had to help us close it each time we went in and out but they were very apologetic about it.
YYCI was initially drawn to the hotel by its name, but what I liked even more was its interior design. It's themed around Zen and tea culture, with floor-to-ceiling windows in the room facing Dawang Peak and the Chongxi Trail. The stay was very comfortable and I slept well. The location is also excellent — it's very close to the Sanggu Food Street and surrounded by plenty of snack shops. It's also near the Wuyi Palace scenic area.
The guesthouse owner was very hospitable. In addition to offering free high-speed rail pick-up and drop-off service, he also arranged for Mr. You to drive us to the bamboo raft center, and even helped us book the bamboo rafting, the scenic shuttle bus, and tickets for the Impression Dahongpao show. It saved us a lot of trouble — so thoughtful!
Overall, it’s a fantastic experience in Wuyishan, with the stay in the hotel of great value for money and services. Highly recommended and hope to come back one day.
ゲゲストFantastic place, right next to the beautiful Tulous. Very kind host and his family. Some English is spoken and they helped with arranging transport. Room is basic, but that didn't bother us as we loved spending time outside (for example playing pingpong). Highly recommended.
