Gulangyu Island! Gentle Moments in a Sea View Villa

A Double Dose of History and Ocean Views This villa, built in the 1920s, was once the "Haibin Hotel" that witnessed the Japanese surrender ceremony. Today, it has been transformed into a beachfront hotel with stunning ocean views. The red brick walls and arched windows—every brick and stone holds a century-old story. Open the door to an unobstructed view of the blue sea and sky, as if stepping into the folds of history. The new hotel's amenities are a dream come true for those who appreciate attention to detail! Bathtub film and disposable toilet seat covers offer the utmost care, and the originally sealed toiletries are even better than those found in five-star hotels. The bedding is as soft as a cloud, enveloping you in comfort. The premium Zhengshan Xiaozhong tea provided in the room has a reddish, sweet aftertaste. Sip it while enjoying the sea view, and instantly experience the Gulangyu version of "Cha Yan Yue Se." Although simple, breakfast is thoughtfully prepared. Minnan-style snacks paired with freshly ground coffee awaken you from a lazy morning. Afternoon tea is the highlight! A three-tiered tray holds macarons, scones, and seasonal fruits. The sea breeze caresses your face as you savor the sweet and savory treats, making you feel like the heroine of a Republican-era drama. The Piano Wharf is just a 200-meter walk away, and you can easily switch between the Sanqiutian and Neicuo'ao ferry routes. Enjoy Shacha noodles on Longtou Road, or stroll through Shuzhuang Garden to admire the exquisite rocks. Upon your return, the butler will have prepared a refreshing sweet soup. As night falls, soak in the bathtub while watching the lights of Lujiang Road across the water, and finally understand the meaning of "stealing a half-day's leisure."
