LAKE SIGHT DESIGN HOTEL

Staying at Lake Sight Design Hotel in Xiamen was an absolute delight from start to finish. The staff greeted us warmly and were incredibly polite, even when we arrived early after a long flight with jet lag. Our room was spotlessly clean, cozy, and very comfortable—perfect for unwinding after a busy day. We stayed for several nights, and every moment felt relaxing thanks to the quiet surroundings and excellent location. Everything was within easy reach, and I especially loved walking around Baituizhou Lake just downstairs—the views were stunning, especially at sunset. One of the little touches I truly appreciated? Free tea service in the room! It’s these thoughtful details that make a big difference. If you’re visiting Xiamen, this hotel should be at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Xiamen Wujing Mountain and Sea Camp Hall

Staying at Wujing Mountain and Sea Camp Hall for two nights was an unforgettable experience. From the very first moment I met Sister Li, her warmth made me feel instantly at home. Brother Li’s presence carried a powerful, authentic energy that set the tone for our entire stay. Listening to their life story—how they built this place from the ground up in Xiamen—was truly inspiring. Their journey from Wujing Mountain and Sea Camp to the current retreat isn’t just a business; it’s a living testament to the resilience and spirit of Minnan culture. This isn’t something you read in a museum or see in a documentary—it’s real, raw, and deeply human. The setting itself feels like stepping into a Studio Ghibli film: quiet, poetic, and effortlessly beautiful. Walking through the garden, you’re greeted by lush green lawns, playful dogs running free, and endless views of the ocean stretching beyond the horizon—all natural, unforced, and full of soul. And then there’s the food: Auntie’s slow-cooked pig stomach lotus root soup, and the rustic charcoal-fired rice—simple yet profoundly comforting. Every bite reminded me why I love traveling. The family is genuinely kind, full of heart, and each member adds their own charm—especially the older brother trying so hard to impress (and succeeding!). I leave with nothing but gratitude and heartfelt wishes for this wonderful family and their sanctuary. May Wujing continue to grow, thrive, and inspire others just as it did me.

Hilton Garden Inn

Staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Xiamen Baiwuzhou Park was a great experience overall. The room decor is straightforward but well-maintained, and since it opened just last year, everything feels fresh and clean. I was originally booked into a smaller room, but thanks to the front desk staff Sandra, I got upgraded to a larger one—such a pleasant surprise! As part of the Hilton family, the hotel offers reliable quality and service. Located right next to the historic Xiamen Old Tea Factory, the subtle aroma of roasted tea drifts through the open window every now and then—really adds character to the stay. The surrounding area has plenty of amenities, making it ideal for both business trips and leisure visits. With excellent value for money and a peaceful, unique atmosphere, this place is definitely worth returning to.

Gulangyu Yuanshazhou Seaview Holiday Villa

We first visited Gulangyu 13 years ago and stayed at Yuanshazhou — now, bringing our daughter along for a family trip to Xiamen, we chose this villa again without hesitation. It was just as wonderful as we remembered. The room itself was spotless, well-equipped, and offered breathtaking sea views. The location is perfect — just a short walk from the pier yet peaceful and quiet, far from the city noise. We especially loved meeting the resident cat, Chunfu, who added such a warm, homely touch. Every staff member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. From cleanliness to comfort, every detail exceeded expectations. This stay wasn’t just a place to sleep — it felt like coming home. If we ever return to Xiamen, there’s no doubt we’ll be back here. A truly special experience.

256, Huangcuo Tatou, Siming District, Xiamen City, Fujian Province

The check-in experience was amazing from the very beginning—staff reached out via WeChat before arrival, sent us directions, and even offered to meet us if we couldn’t find the place. But it was actually super easy to spot: right outside the door, there’s a whole street full of restaurants, fruit shops, and electric scooter rentals. When we arrived, the front desk staff immediately upgraded our room without hesitation. The space is huge, immaculately clean, and features a stunning oversized bathtub with a view straight down to the pool below. We spent nearly an hour swimming in the evening, then came back up for a long, relaxing soak in hot water—pure bliss. It felt like being completely disconnected from reality. This hotel isn’t just good—it’s one of the best stays I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury, this place is absolutely worth every penny.

Gulangyu Monet Garden

Staying at Gulangyu Monet Garden Café Music Villa was an absolute delight. The vintage charm here isn’t just about the architecture—it’s in the way light and shadows tell stories through every corner. Every spot is incredibly photogenic; you can take stunning photos without any editing. The room was immaculate, with no hidden corners or unpleasant odors—cleanliness is clearly a top priority. The staff went above and beyond: they helped carry our luggage and offered a convenient paid baggage storage service from the villa directly to the ferry terminal. This made traveling with my parents so much easier and stress-free. They were thrilled with the peaceful ambiance, thoughtful touches, and overall experience. A perfect getaway for families who appreciate quiet elegance and authentic charm.

Bayview Hotel (Gulangyu Sanqiutian Wharf Longtou Road Snack Street Store

Staying at Bayview Hotel on Gulangyu Island was an absolute highlight of our trip. The location is perfect—just steps away from Sanqiutian Wharf and within easy reach of all the main attractions. What stood out most was the front desk staff, who kindly offered detailed local route suggestions that saved us a ton of time figuring things out on our own. The breakfast was beautifully presented and surprisingly delicious for such a relaxing island stay. Room layout is smart and spacious, and considering the prime location on the island, the value for money is outstanding. There’s even a little dog in the lobby—can’t touch him, but he’s so well-behaved he actually opens the door for guests! It’s like he’s part of the family. I’d definitely recommend this place to friends and will be coming back myself.
