I brought my international girlfriend here to experience Xiamen University and the local vibe, and being so close to campus, the seaside, and the famous Zengcu’An night market made it perfect. There’s fresh seafood everywhere—literally on every corner. The moment we arrived, the host family welcomed us warmly with genuine smiles. They’re super attentive and always ready to help. The room itself is spotless and incredibly quiet—ideal for a good night’s sleep. Free washing machine access plus a spacious balcony for drying clothes? Yes please. Even underwear can be hung inside the room thanks to the built-in hanger, and natural light floods in. I even used the rooftop balcony to dry laundry overnight—it dried completely by morning. Hot water was plentiful, no issues there. But the real highlight? Breakfast. I had my first-ever seafood noodle soup here, and wow—the broth was rich and deeply flavorful. Honestly, better than any ramen I’ve had in Japan. If you're ever visiting Zengcu’An again, I’ll definitely bring more friends from abroad.
