Qingpu Cultural Guesthouse·Jinjiang Wulin No. 156, Wulin East District, Xintang, Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Ancient Village is located in Jinjiang City, Fujian Province. With Shigu Mountain at its back and Wulin Creek in front, it is an ancient village with a history of more than 600 years. Here, old houses and Western-style buildings compete for attention, and architectural history and clan history intertwine. Stepping into the village is like stepping into a century-old, original ecological village-style architectural museum. Guests staying at Qingpu Cultural Guesthouse can take authentic art and cultural courses, experience thousands of years of cultural precipitation in Minnan culture, and enjoy the personal熏陶 brought by each cultural heritage. The interior of the house has been modernized according to the modern people's requirements for their homes. The furniture is also selected in Minnan and Nanyang styles, with natural oak materials that are naturally stable and comfortable. Staying here, you will feel relaxed and comfortable, and have a good night's sleep. The local cuisine is full of the flavors of Minnan. Having a cup of Minnan Kung Fu tea at Huaiji Tea Bureau, or a cup of coffee at the Banyan Tree Coffee Shop, is the most unmissable way of life in Wulin. The long menu features countless Minnan specialties and Nanyang snacks, which will satisfy both your stomach and soul.

I first learned about the Qingpu Cultural Hostel brand many years ago at the Nanjing Tulou. Many years later, it seems that I have also seen it in Yangzhou and Wuzhou. This time in the Wulin ancient village of Jinjiang, Quanzhou, I finally had the opportunity to experience this always low-key yet high-end cultural accommodation space. If it's just for the sake of accommodation, personally, I don't think the price of over 2000 for Qingpu is worth it. However, as mentioned earlier, it is not just a hotel or a homestay, but a cultural space centered around accommodation. For example, the Qingpu I stayed in at Wulin is first and foremost a renovation and design of the old houses of the Wulin ancient village, creating a comfortable space inside while maintaining the original appearance as much as possible. Its front desk, restaurant, and guest rooms are scattered among these ancient village houses. This allows you to switch between different spaces while deeply experiencing the local culture and memories. Secondly, apart from hotel accommodation, there are cultural activities for different age groups, such as the silver beating in Wulin this time, and other activities that we didn't have time to experience. Returning to the hardware aspect of Qingpu, it can basically be said to be impeccable. However, based on our experience this time, the software aspect may indeed need more thought. For example, the dining environment of the restaurant we ate in is truly impeccable in design, but whether it's the water stains on the washbasin or the stacking of some miscellaneous items, it made the high-end feel of the 2000+ price instantly drop to just a tail number. And the place where the trash can was placed in our room had various stains and spots on the wall, which really reached a level that could make people uncomfortable. As for the service experience this time, the young man who took us to our room was really not up to par in terms of smiling service. Overall, this was not a perfect experience, but for this brand, I would rather believe it is an exception. In other cities, if I have the chance, I think I would like to experience it again.

Just a 40-minute drive from Quanzhou, you can reach the Qingpu Cultural Hotel in Wulin ancient village, which integrates traditional buildings with characteristics of Minnan overseas hometowns and Western-style buildings. With its unique regional identity and distinct recognizability, it feels like stepping back a hundred years upon entering. Following Qingpu's consistent site selection philosophy, the Qingpu Cultural Hotel in Jinjiang Wulin is located at the core of the village, formed by a complex of twelve buildings. Design The designers have skillfully combined modern design elements with regional architectural culture while respecting tradition, introducing modern living facilities while retaining the original material textures.

Rooms There are 24 guest rooms distributed among 6 Minnan red brick ancient houses and 2 Southeast Asian style overseas Chinese mansions. The interior design fully considers the living habits of modern people, reinterpreting the internal space of the large houses in a modern style. The furniture, selected in Minnan and Southeast Asian styles and made of natural oak, creates a natural, stable, and comfortable atmosphere conducive to a good night's sleep. Dining In Minnan, it is natural to taste the authentic local cuisine. The Qingpu restaurant covers an area of 181 square meters, spacious and bright. The restaurant offers Minnan cuisine, Southeast Asian set meals, selected wines, and specialty drinks, allowing guests to taste the flavor of their hometown and feel the nostalgia of travelers in the rich Southeast Asian atmosphere.

The hotel specially invites local inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, craftsmen, artists, and musicians to serve as instructors, allowing every participant to personally experience the profound charm of Minnan culture.
