I was very impressed by the hotel's location, cleanliness, and quality. The hotel is a clean, newly renovated building located two minutes away from the main gate. The room is exactly like the photo on their booking page. I was surprised that I could find such a quality hotel in the prime location of the ancient city. They serve breakfast with Chaozhou beef, which is also great. You'll never want to miss the amazing view from the fourth floor, where you can enjoy the old town scenery.
It is a gorgeous century old property designed in a traditional Teochew architecture. Much of the original fixtures are still intact. It was unfortunate that it rained continuously during my stay or I would have loved to have some tea in the courtyard. The bed was comfortably hard (which I liked). Hot water broke down on the second day due to a short circuit but was quickly rectified. Owner is helpful even during wee hours. While located on a quiet street, it is within minutes from the bustle. Definitely highly recommend this gem.
The best advantage of this small hotel is the location which is in the centre of the ancient city and only a few minutes walk to the famous Chaozhou ancient bridge. It is a restored historic building, one storey high and very quaint and quirky. It was very clean and all amenities worked well. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. One should note that the rooms are very small and the taxis cannot drop you at the hotel. Still, it was only a 4-minute walk to the hotel from the vehicular street. The hotel does not serve breakfasts but there are plenty of cafes and street food in the ancient city. The room was fine for a solo traveller for a weekend but if a couple, or staying longer than a weekend, I suggest booking a larger room in this hotel.

KKim BengWe are extremely happy to have chosen Bixiang Inn for our stay at Qing Yuan.
The inn is beautiful & tranquil located at Hetou Village, Jiulong Town, Qing Yuan. Be prepared of the travelling journey there, it is very far from Yingde, but the inn is just worth the journey. We were there few days before the peak season, Chinese New Year. So we had the hotel by ourselves - 8 of us. We bought the famous Qing Yuan chicken, Jiulong fuchuk, plucked veg from the hotel & also bought & plucked additional vegetable from the next door neighbour and we cooked our dinner at the hotel! How wonderful!
The caretaker, Ah Lei (hope I get her name correct) is very helpful. She even helped in the cooking & cleaning up after meal. Not forgetting 3 lovely cats in the premises too.
We did trekking &/or cycling (the hotel has 2 bicycles for guests use) in both morning. The air was so so fresh, felt recharged instantly.
We highly recommended Bixiang Inn as your base at Qing Yuan.
YYuen K HA great place to stay right in Dapeng Fortress if you want to experience staying in an actual historical house. We really enjoyed our 2 nights' stay at Buyan Inn.
The host, Tony was very friendly and helpful and speaks excellent English. We managed to contact him through Wechat about our arrival and he walked out to meet us to show us the way to the inn when we arrived by DiDi. The inn is in the old Town but just a 1 minute walk out so it was very convenient for foreign travellers who don't have their own transportation.
Buyan Inn also has a restaurant. We tried the barbecue and it was delicious.
There are many snack shops in the old Town. We also wanted to try some traditional food and found a traditional restaurant where the locals go to for meals just outside the old Town, a few minutes' walk from Buyan inn.
All in all, we had a very memorable stay in Buyan Inn.
