HUANGYAN 36 Hotel

When I first arrived at Huangyan 36, the housekeeper's spring-like smile wiped away my travel fatigue. From the precise instructions when picking up at the pier to the warm ginger tea handed to me after check-in, every detail is full of meticulous warmth. The most touching thing is the housekeeper's familiarity with Gulangyu Island - they will tell you about the Qindao history of Shuzhuang Garden according to your pace, or quietly draw a hand-drawn map, marking the little-known century-old banyan tree secret behind Sunlight Rock, so that the historical context of this small island can be naturally stretched while walking. The hotel itself is an extension of Gulangyu Island's elegant temperament. In the courtyard converted from a century-old Western-style building, bougainvillea meanders along the red brick wall, old rattan chairs sway gently under the shade of the trees, and the open-air tea table is always ready with Minnan oolong tea, and the fragrance of tea and the sea breeze interweave into a lazy afternoon. The retro furniture, hand-woven carpets and intelligent facilities in the guest rooms are cleverly integrated. When you open the window, you can see the sparkling water of Lujiang River. Even the fragrance in the bathroom uses the frangipani flower scent that is unique to Gulangyu Island. The details are full of respect for local culture. Here, the butler is not only a service provider, but also an old friend who knows the story of the island well, and uses appropriate care to make the journey full of surprises. When night falls, sitting on the rooftop and looking at the brightly lit international buildings, I suddenly feel that the charm of Huangyan 36 is to turn the literary and artistic heritage of Gulangyu Island into a touchable and perceptible warm daily life.

從泉州七栩過來，確實覺得這個酒店又高出一個段位，前者形式大於內容，晃巖36細節把控的好— 從淋雨水壓到房間各種用品。服務水平整齊，食物品質也在在線。非常值得推薦….

My friend came to Xiamen and we went to the island to experience the newly opened No. 36 Huangyan. The Nanyang-style architecture and interior decoration are a perfect match for Gulangyu Island. The bedding is very comfortable, the outdoor breakfast is very chill, and the housekeeper's thoughtful service is in place. I will find time to come back with my family to experience it again next time.
