[2025 Longyan Stay] Travel Guide for Changdi Inn (Updated Apr)

A two day trip from Xiamen, organised by Stephen, an English speaking Tulou guesthouse owner. This is the itinerary he made for us and picture 5 is his family home. Stephen organised a driver for us to and from Xiamen and to the different villages. The food at his guesthouse is amazing and some of the best I've had in China. He also has a great selection of local tea, if you want to relax and talk about the history of his family, the Tulou and local area. "Welcome you and your friends to come to my house. Our old house is 140 years old, Hakka traditional architecture, 7,000 square meters, 168 rooms (20 rooms in our hotel room). I arranged the trip, you can see many beautiful village, this is a special trip. From Xiamen you will go Tianluokeng 、Xiaban 、Taxia villages, then will return to the our hongkeng earth building folk custom culture village, will live the Fuyulou changdi inn.

To meet Stephen book a night at his Changdi Inn

Staying at Changdi Inn is like stepping back in time. Nestled within the heart of the Hongkeng Tulou Cluster, this beautifully preserved inn offers a rare chance to experience the authentic lifestyle of Hakka families, within a UNESCO-listed earthen building. The inn is run by a friendly host, the 6th generation descendant of the original residents. His hospitality made the stay feel more like visiting a family home than a hotel. The wooden interiors, peaceful courtyard, and historic charm create an atmosphere that's both nostalgic and serene. Waking up to the sounds of village life, enjoying homemade local dishes, and exploring the surrounding Tulou clusters on foot are highlights of the visit. The inn is also a great base for photography and quiet reflection in this culturally rich setting. A highly recommended stop for anyone wanting a truly unique and heartfelt experience in rural Fujian. #monsteronvacay #travel #unesco #myhiddengems

Fuyulou Changdi Inn was recommended by fellow Tripblazer and decided to book a night stay during my Xiamen trip. I was welcomed by Stephen Lin, the 6th generation owner of the square-shaped tulou for room arrangement and tea drinking session. The place is rather unique and well preserved after 143 years. I, too had a delicious authentic Hakka meals in the evening combo with locally brew Hakka rice wine and that blows away all the tiredness after a full day tour of Tulou buildings😄. Address: Fuyulou Changdi Inn, Hongkeng Village, Yongding District, Fujian Province. #freehotelstay #travelwithgeo #fujiantravel" #chinatravel
