Linghai Hotel (Sunlight Rock Gangzaihou Beach Branch)

Listen to the sea in a century-old house I found a sea view hotel in the guide, called Listen to the Sea, and booked it because of the sea view in the promotional photos. The hotel's front desk service is top-notch: from luggage transportation to the island, check-in instructions, island tour guides, eye masks, earplugs, mosquito repellents, and a variety of drinks available on demand, etc., it can be said to be meticulous. My original intention was to spend the first day of the tour in this "luxury house" to enjoy the sea view, soak in the bathtub, and watch TV series "lying flat", but I never thought that the historical picture of this small island would unfold to me here. "This is the former residence of Guo Chunyang, one of the four sugar kings in East Asia. It was built in 1921 to celebrate his 60th birthday. It is over a hundred years old. The overall style is European, with Roman arches and a large balcony outside. This villa has first-class feng shui. It is backed by Sunlight Rock and faces the sea. After several turnovers, it was bought and renovated by Linghai Hotel Company. The government has regulations that more than 80% of the original appearance should be retained. The broken square tile patterns you see are all works from a hundred years ago..." This is what Mr. Yang, who has lived in Gulangyu for 20 years, said. The opportunity was the Gulangyu tea party held by the hotel in the villa's attached restaurant that night. Walking out of the small restaurant and returning to the majestic villa hotel, the impetuous crowds of the popular attractions in the past were drowned in the fusion of Chinese and Western and the integration of ancient and modern times, leaving only tranquility and shock. The European-style spiral staircase under the floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby, with gray spider silk on the corners of the door frame, brought me back to the immortality I missed a hundred years ago. With mixed feelings, I think this kind of romance and humanistic care that transcends time and space is what this island conveys. In ancient times, Guo Chunyang's "package tea supply" helped ********* tea farmers and brought ********* oolong tea to the world. Today, when you come to the hotel, you can brew a pot of tea and grind a cup of coffee yourself, or sit under the century-old trees in the courtyard to taste an afternoon tea prepared by the hotel. While feeling the ultimate service, the modern celebrities and stories on the island are told. It's a pity that such an ultimate experience belongs to only a few people. "It's boring, it takes half a day or even half an hour to finish the tour" and other impetuous commentators are destined to miss many stories. If you want to read the book Gulangyu carefully, I recommend that you can use this as the first page. I also hope that Linghai Hotel will continue to maintain excellent service and the spirit of Gulangyu's cultural and historical heritage, and hold more tea parties and other similar activities to let more interested tourists understand Gulangyu. I will definitely visit again if I have the opportunity.

酒店環境很好，晚上非常安靜；下午茶和早餐很豐富；服務很周到貼心！非常棒！

The top floor room 401 was booked in advance. It has a big balcony and a wide view. The room is also very large with two beds and a hot spring bath. It is also very close to the beach. The customer service added WeChat in advance, the service was thoughtful, and they would inform you of the tour instructions. By the way, free laundry and afternoon tea were provided. The overall experience was very good and worth recommending.

샤먼 중 구랑위 호텔이 제일 만족도가 높았습니다. 숙박하기 전 날 호텔 위챗을 추가해서 페리 타는 시간을 알려 주고, 우리 캐리어를 호텔까지 운반해 달라고 요청했습니다. 숙박하는 당일, 짐 운반해 주시는 분에게 전화가 와서, 출발시간을 한 번 더 말해 줬어요. 구랑위에서는 차가 다니지 못 해, 짐반 운반이 가능하다고 해요. 우리는 구랑위를 구경하고, 숙소 체크인을 했어요. 에프터눈티가 포함된 상푸이라서, 위챗으로 준비를 요청하면 준비해서 알려줘요. 따뜻한 차와 조각 케이크, 과일이 제공되어 간식으로 먹기 좋아요. 2박을 했는데 다음 날 관광하느라 늦게 숙소에 왔는데도 에프터눈티를 제공해 줬어요. 우리가 숙소에 들어오는 걸 체크하고 위챗으로 연락을 해줬어요. 이 숙소를 선택한 이유는 피아노박물관, 일광암, 숙장화원 등과 가깝고, 발코니가 크고 발코니에서 바다와 샤먼섬을 한번에 조망할 수 있어서예요. 정말 숙소도 크고 침대도 편하고, 발코니도 매우 마음에 들었어요. 욕실에 욕조도 큰 게 있어서 아이들과 즐겁게 지낼 수 있었어요. 퇴실하는 날은 호텔에 엘베도 없고, 페리 타는 곳까지 캐리어 운반하는 게 힘들 것 같아서 유료로 짐 운반을 부탁했어요. 돈은 내지만 편하게 페리 타는 곳까지 갈 수 있어서 좋았어요. 기억에 많이 남는 호텔이네요!

The hotel is an old house with a history of more than 100 years. It is filled with a strong atmosphere of the Republic of China. The ancient banyan tree in the courtyard stands quietly, like a wise old man, silently reading the changes of the world! The hotel environment is very good, the courtyard view and the sea view complement each other. On a sunny afternoon, on the balcony of the room, make a pot of tea, overlook the sea view not far away, watch the thousands of sails pass by, listen to the faint whistle, and the music is erratic. The feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle of the world is particularly strong! The hotel service is very good, always doing everything possible to meet the needs of guests, especially the beautiful manager Abu. This time I flew from Melbourne to Xiamen with 4 pieces of luggage 🧳. On the night of check-in, the manager arranged for someone to pick me up at the Xiamen Ferry Terminal. When I left the store, the manager helped me carry three pieces of luggage himself and sent me off the island to Xiamen Dongdu Terminal. He worked hard! In addition, the hotel breakfast is also very good, healthy and light, and the afternoon tea snacks are beautiful and delicious!
