This place makes me wish there was an option for six stars.
I study Asian art for a living, and I travelled to Jianyang to visit the home of Jian ware, classic tea bowls of the Song dynasty (960 to 1279 CE), distinguished by their black and brown glazes. Over the last few decades, firing Jian ware in the Song tradition has been revived in the area. I chose Nanping Colourful Village Homestay because it was in Jianyang, affordable, and accepted international guests. What I found was a luxury resort with all the warmth and personal attention of a homestay.
I asked the front desk about an excavated Song kiln site in a nearby village, and the receptionist brought me the manager, who arranged for someone to take me the next day. My driver was Ms. Huang, an employee of the resort whose job involves buying and selling contemporary pieces. She knew everything about Jian ware! The kiln site isn’t run as a tourist site, so I was only able to view it because Ms. Huang arranged for it to be opened for me.
I had told them I was vegetarian, so for lunch they took me to lunch at a vegetarian buffet. Then we visited the town’s Jian ware museum, where they have exhibits on the history of tea and Jian ware, historical pieces, and the work of contemporary Jianyang potters.
To my delight, Mr. Gao, the potter-in-residence at the resort, uses a Song-style wood-fired dragon kiln, built right on the grounds! His pieces that range from beautiful but quite affordable to exquisite and appropriately expensive. They include both iridescent silvery oil spot and orange-to-black hare’s fur pieces. I am still thrilled that I was able to purchase wood-fired pieces on my limited budget.
For dinner, the resort’s restaurant prepared vegetarian versions of Fujian cuisine for me. The food was all delicious, featuring classic Fujianese mountain ingredients like local bamboo and mushrooms.
Then we visited Mr. Gao’s dragon kiln, and later his studio, where he experiments with different local clays and glaze recipes. The rich colours and iridescence of Jian ware are the result of the iron-rich local material fired at high temperature, and the results are as unpredictable as they are beautiful.
The next day, they drove me to Mr. Chen’s family tea plantation in the mountains, where they grow famous northern Fujian teas. These fine teas were all wonderful, smooth and rich with a touch of smoke, and sometimes fruity in flavour. We strolled through mountainsides of tea bushes and visited groves of centuries-old tea trees.
This is a perfect place for an immersive experience in China that is also very comfortable and convenient. I often find tourist experiences in China claustrophobic due to the press of people, but the resort was spacious and airy, and they took me to places where there was no one else but us and the occasional local going about their business. Everyone was very patient with my limited Chinese language skills. They were also happy to work with translator apps on our phones, so if you don’t speak any Chinese, you will be fine.
This would be a great place to come as a family. There are gardens and rides for kids right next to the resort. You can learn how to whip Song-style tea and carve your name into the base of your own Jian ware cup. Not far away is a historical theme park with a collection of real architecture from the Ming (1368 to 1644 CE) and Qing (1636 to 1912 CE) dynasties. The employees wear period dress and there are performances and activities. Nearby there are hiking trails, historical sites, and lovely villages to visit.
It’s also very close to Wuyi Mountain National Park, so it would be a perfect place to stay if the mountains are your destination. If you ask, they could arrange for you to visit famous sites or take you to breathtaking places that only locals know, whatever you want. They can also arrange transport to and from the train station or airport.

Iain13This is a duplicate of my review for dates from 6 to 8 June 2026, as I extended my stay for one night.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel and would happily stay here again.
The location is excellent. It's right next to the metro, directly across the road from China City Mall, and within easy walking distance of Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, the waterfront and the ferry wharf. It made exploring Xiamen incredibly easy.
The staff were consistently helpful and efficient. They obtained information about the Xiamen-Kinmen ferry, which was greatly appreciated. The breakfast restaurant staff deserve special mention as they were always friendly, welcoming and genuinely seemed pleased to see their guests each morning.
The room itself was lovely. The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom was excellent and while I didn't use the bath, the shower was very good. The hotel also has a nice swimming pool, gym and lounge area, all of which added to the overall experience.
Breakfast was good, with plenty of choices, both Asian and Western, and a pleasant atmosphere.
I only intended to stay a short time, but enjoyed both the hotel and Xiamen enough that I extended my stay by an extra night. From my room I had good views, including Zheng Chenggong's statue on Gulangyu Island and Xiamen's Twin Towers in the distance.
This hotel certainly helped make my stay in Xiamen an enjoyable one. I left with very positive memories and would gladly stay here again.

Si vuelvo a Quanzhou, sin duda elegiré de nuevo el hotel Citywell. La habitación es limpia, con iluminación cálida y espaciosa, y está ubicado cerca de la calle de la comida, con muchos restaurantes y centros de masajes en los alrededores. El hotel huele muy bien al entrar y el personal es amable; incluso compartieron buenos consejos de viaje con los huéspedes. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Grand Honor Hotel is definitely the best hotel in Shishi, but it’s not quite the same level as a luxury hotel in a bigger city. Generally the hotel is clean, but it’s the little things that I noticed, ie when I checked in, there were some sweet wrappers next to the bowl of sweets that weren’t cleared away. That said, the sense of space is evident in the hotel lobby, lifts, corridors and most importantly, the hotel rooms.
Rooms are very spacious and well-designed, although the closet area can definitely do with brighter lights. Most amenities are provided but what put me off is that many items that would have been free in other hotels at this price-range aren’t free at Grand Honor. There is a Chinese tea set on the table and usually the loose leaf tea is provided for free but it cost ¥15 per packet. Honestly it’s not a lot of money for us, but on the flip side, surely the hotel can provide a bag of tea leaves for their guests. There are the standard free single-use packet tea in the drawer so at least there’s that.
In-room slippers are not to be taken out; they’d charge you if you do - and that’s fine, but the slippers are actually really uncomfortable to wear.
The small plate of fruits (banana, plum and mandarin) given at 5pm every day is a nice touch.
The hotel breakfast is probably the highlight. Set on the 22nd floor with panoramic views of the city, breakfast is very enjoyable. The food quality is pretty good, but a real surprise here is the sheer diversity of food. The bread selection alone has 5-6 choices (pastries, brioche, baguette, square toast, etc), the cooked food section is almost endless (and there’s cooked Chinese vegetables! 👏🏾) and then there’s the fruit selection at the end too. My only gripe is that the coffee machine is a bit slow, and there’s only one machine so there can be a wait for coffee.
Location of the hotel is a little odd; good restaurants and the main mall is about 15 mins’ walk away. There aren’t many good shops to wander around nearby.
Generally, this is a solid hotel for this price point. Excellent service with very fast food delivery (using the ubiquitous delivery robots) and friendly front desk staff.

Usuario invitadoUn hotel muy rentable. La salida A de la estación Luozhou Hot Spring de la línea 4 del metro está justo enfrente del hotel, lo cual es muy conveniente. Muy satisfecho con la estancia y el servicio! Actualización gratuita al momento del check-in y la comida para llevar se entrega de manera inteligente mediante robots. Ocurrió un incidente durante mi estadía: pedí comida para llevar y me la entregaron en el hotel equivocado (no sé a qué hotel la entregaron. Llamé a la recepción para pedir ayuda). y tomó la comida para llevar del hotel equivocado. Fue muy extraño. El pequeño capítulo de la recepción ofrece varias guías de viaje, ¡lo cual es doblemente agradable!

This is a very good hotel. It is right next to the shopping mall, so restaurants and coffee shops are everywhere. We really appreciated the friendly front desk staff getting us an upgraded room. It is spacious, cleaned, comfortable, and fully stocked with everything we need. We love their long and cleaned pool. It’s perfect for lap swimmers. Definitely we will recommend this hotel to our friends and family.

Pasamos cinco días en Xiamen, alojándonos en Lan Huali todo el tiempo. Salíamos a diario y no podríamos haber encontrado un hotel mejor.
1. Ubicación
Es un lugar fantástico, a poca distancia a pie de la Universidad de Xiamen, las Torres Gemelas (Puente Yanwu), el Templo Nanputuo y el Jardín Botánico, y a un corto trayecto en taxi de la carretera de circunvalación. Mejor aún, el B&B está en la cima de una colina, lo que lo hace increíblemente tranquilo y espacioso, dándole un aire verdaderamente vacacional. Tengan en cuenta que los hoteles y B&B de la calle suelen ser pequeños y anticuados. Investigamos a fondo y finalmente elegimos este lugar, ya que el descanso es fundamental para las familias con niños.
2. Ambiente
1. Excelente. Inaugurado en 2025, el diseño tiene un toque del sur de Francia, con colores vivos, un interior limpio y ordenado, y un interior romántico y fotogénico. Más tarde, tras charlar con la propietaria, me di cuenta de que ha demostrado plenamente su excepcional capacidad para crear y gestionar espacios estéticamente agradables. Los cambios de luz y sombras a diferentes horas del día hacen que el B&B sea realmente cautivador, creando una experiencia verdaderamente fotogénica. 2. Las habitaciones son espaciosas. Nuestra habitación tenía vistas a los tejados anaranjados de la Universidad de Xiamen y al océano a lo lejos. Por la noche, podíamos oír las campanadas del Templo Nanputuo. El baño era espacioso y la experiencia en general fue muy cómoda.
3. La cafetería (restaurante) es muy cómoda. Me encanta sentarme allí y hojear los libros cuidadosamente seleccionados por la dueña. A veces, incluso encuentro una película en el proyector al volver a casa por la noche, lo que me hace sentir como si estuviera de vacaciones.
3. Personal/Servicio
Los huéspedes del B&B son muy atentos y considerados. La encantadora dueña es muy amable. Siempre que tengo tiempo libre, disfruto charlando con ella, escuchando sus interesantes historias y aprendiendo de su profunda sabiduría vital. La conexión espiritual es particularmente armoniosa en un entorno así. Este tiempo juntos ha enriquecido mi experiencia y la ha hecho realmente memorable. ¡Estoy agradecida de haberla conocido y espero volver a verla!

Eric19911991We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed every moment here. The hotel was spotlessly clean, and the view was absolutely beautiful, especially looking out toward the beach—it was exactly as shown and completely worth it 🌊✨
The place is very kid-friendly, which made our stay even more comfortable as a family. The service was outstanding—thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring. A special highlight was the afternoon tea and evening snacks thoughtfully placed on our door handle. It was such a lovely surprise and really showed how much attention the team puts into small details. We absolutely loved this thoughtful touch 💛
Although the weather wasn’t very favorable during our stay, we still enjoyed relaxing by the window, taking in the sea view, and feeling the calm atmosphere. Even on a cloudy day, the experience was peaceful and enjoyable.
Breakfast was another big plus—delicious, satisfying, and generous, leaving us happily full and ready for the day 😄
Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a beautiful seaside experience. We truly appreciate the care and effort from the entire team and would love to visit again!
