Struck gold! A century-old Minnan ancient house hidden gem on Zhongshan Road! Absolutely love it!

Step outside to the lively hustle of historic arcades, return to the tranquil courtyard of Minnan nostalgia. Amid Xiamen's bustling Zhongshan Road, discovered this secluded ancient house sanctuary—"Lanqin Ancient House Elegant Residence"! Once the private mansion of a Nanyang tycoon, it's a living historical landmark itself! Swallowtail ridge roofs, brick carvings, wooden lattice windows, and classic red brick walls! Paired with greenery, wooden furnishings, and vintage decor—every snapshot is a retro masterpiece! Only 7 exclusive rooms—intimate, refined, and perfectly peaceful! My favorite is the "Dressing Table" room on the left side of the second floor. Instantly captivating with its spatial design and aesthetics! Dark wood furnishings exude premium texture—bedding is cloud-like, every detail meticulously curated. Staying in feels heavenly—floor-to-ceiling windows frame red-tiled roofs, while two square windows offer courtyard views. Exploring the ancient house is pure delight. Tea corners, study rooms, winding corridors—each nook reveals unique charm. Location is unbeatable! Just 3-minute walk to Zhongshan Road's main strip for easy exploration. 10 minutes to Gulangyu ferry pier, with scenic Lujiang Road right around the corner. Here, time unfolds like tea stains blooming slowly, like vintage fragrance seeping through patterned tiles. To truly touch Xiamen's soul, one must dwell in its ancient houses!
