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.

Iain13Voici un duplicata de mon examen pour les dates du 6 au 8 juin 2026, puisque j'ai prolongé mon séjour pour une nuit.
J'ai apprécié ma résidence dans cet hôtel et je me réjouis de rester ici.
La location est excellente. Il est juste près du métro, directement sur la route du Mall de la ville de Chine, et à une distance de marche facile de Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, le front d'eau et le ferry. Il a fait l'exploration de Xiamen incroyablement facile.
Le personnel a été très utile et efficace, et ils ont obtenu des informations sur le ferry Xiamen-Kinmen, qui a été très apprécié. Le personnel du restaurant du petit déjeuner mérite une mention particulière car ils étaient toujours amis, accueillis et semblaient vraiment heureux de voir leurs clients chaque matin.
La chambre était belle. Le lit était extrêmement confortable, la salle de bain était excellente et alors que je n'avais pas utilisé la baignoire, la douche était très bonne. L'hôtel dispose également d'une belle piscine, d'une salle de sport et d'une salle de salon, tous ajoutant à l'expérience globale.
Le petit déjeuner était bon, avec beaucoup de choix, tant asiatique que occidental, et une atmosphère agréable.
Je n'ai pas voulu rester à l'hôtel, mais j'ai eu assez d'argent pour m'étendre à une nuit supplémentaire.
L'hôtel a été très confortable et très confortable.

Dave12345Excellent experience. We checked in real late at 1030pm and still managed to walk to a nearby night market for dinner. The rooms are clean and service staff very friendly and professional. Extra bed was already arranged when we arrived, which was fantastic.

L'hôtel est assez récent. La chambre est propre et les articles de toilette sont fournis. Le ménage est fait quotidiennement, mais le lit n'est pas fait. La chambre est équipée d'appareils intelligents contrôlables par la voix grâce à Xiao Du. Une laverie est à la disposition des clients gratuitement. Cependant, certaines des chambres que nous avions réservées présentaient un problème de sol. L'hôtel nous a rapidement proposé une autre chambre après notre réclamation concernant ce sol dangereux. Le petit-déjeuner est le même tous les jours et offre peu de choix. L'hôtel se situe au troisième étage du centre commercial. De nombreux restaurants se trouvent à proximité, et une supérette est juste en face. En résumé, l'emplacement est très stratégique et tous les commerces (pharmacie, café, boulangerie, salon de thé, restaurants, etc.) sont accessibles à pied.

InvitéLe service était correct, la femme de ménage a quand même frappé à la porte pour demander le ménage bien que j'aie défini que le ménage n'était pas obligatoire mais elle a été gentille à ce sujet et m'a demandé si j'avais besoin de remplir d'eau. J'ai eu un surclassement de chambre gratuit et la chambre est très agréable. L'emplacement est un point positif pour moi car il est très proche des attractions que je voulais visiter, toutes accessibles à pied. Il est également facile d'obtenir une voiture, il suffit de noter qu'ils n'ont pas vraiment de porche pour récupérer et déposer, donc un inconvénient quand il pleut.

Joyce 19The hotel is at a good location but not the hotel cos almost all the didi don’t come in to this alley and not aware of this hotel
Hotel is very pretty and room is very nice
There’s a free pickup from the train station which is very nice and plus point for the hotel
However the staff needs more training in terms of their services and professionalism. Their standard is obviously not at the hotel’s level. When I reach on the first day, the young lady and gentleman that assist us with the check in is nice and friendly. However after that it’s always an older plump lady that is at the front desk during the day and her attitude doesn’t makes me comfortable. I was writing something to pass to her and she keep rush me to be faster and the way she talks makes me feels as if I’m at a market instead of hotel. And also the aunty that manned the laundry area. When I was washing my clothes around 3-4pm, she said I occupied both laundry pod and other ppl can’t wash it. I told her nicely that I will come and take out the cloth on time. I mean there’s so many ppl that leave their clothes in the laundry and dryer pod after clean and dried for hours or overnight. Doesn’t that occupied the pod as well and others cant use it? Then she still continues to nag and said me about using both pod. Once again I told her nicely the same statement. Then she continues again and keep repeating the same thing to me over and over again and I snap back at her only she stop. What’s wrong with her? There’s a saying 给你脸 你还蹬鼻子上脸了?以为我很好欺负吗?Please give more training to both of the staff so they don’t ruined the reputation of your hotel. And there’s a staff that told me to pay for the lost card. I misplaced a card before with other hotel and never been told to pay for it. They just simply void the card. It’s only 10-20 rmb which is not a lot tho but it really ruins my impression for this hotel. I mean this hotel is very pretty and I would love to stay there again if I’m visiting Lonyan again but with this kind of staff around, I will think twice before deciding my stay next time. I stayed Wanda and Fliport Hotel in Lonyan before and the price for these 3 hotels doesn’t difference much but their staff definitely handle customer with more professionalism and better attitude

VythicaWe stayed in Floral Luxury.1949 Guesthouse for 1 night. We booked Mufan room located on the ground floor as i am travelling with my elderly mom and carrying heavy luggage bags.
The guesthouse butler will contact you the night before your arrival to add them to Wechat for easy communication. They will share their hotel location and offer pick-up service at the train station if required.
Access to Yunshuiyao town is RMB90 perpax and free for those aged above 65 years old. Yunshuiyao is a scenic town area with 3 km long (2 - 3 hours walk). We hired a chinese speaking guide to accompany us to explain the history of Huaiyan building (square tulou), Hegui building (round tulou), and the town area. It cost RMB100.
The guesthouse is located inside Yunshuiyao town, behind the shop houses, in-between waterwheel and 2 trees (named as husband and wife) aged above 670 years old.
When we reached there at 2.30 pm, it was raining. The hotel staff immediately came out with an umbrella to pick us up and assist with the luggage.
The check-in is fast, and the access to the room is by password, which they will share in Wechat. Checkout is also very easy.
The hotel offered free fruits twice a day, afternoon and evening.
The basic bathroom essentials are complete, and they also provide bathrobes. The bed and pillows are very comfortable for a good night sleep. Luckily the aircond can change to warm mode as it was very cold on raining day.
There's a mini kids playground for children's. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast set come with porridge and soya drink. Can topup if needed more. The in-house restaurant provides lunch & dinner with a la carte chinese foods menu.
The sky brightens at 5 am, while the sun rises high at 6.45am. If you are able to wake up early, this is the best time for you to revisit the town and tulou surrounding area for nice photos and cool breeze as only local people around. There's a roadside stall selling super long youtiao (equal to size of 2 youtiao) located near the stone bridge not far from guesthouse.
The whole Yunshuiyao town is covered with natural peebles pathway. Wear suitable shoes as it will be very slippery during the rainy day.
