Tulou Viewing Platform Inn

Located in the middle of Tianluokeng Tulou... feel like staying with communities... the aunty cook are delicious... feel like home...

Its a homestay. The owner is staying there. Located next to the Tianluokeng Tulou. Room with attached bathroom, and its a western style toilet, not the squat type. The owner is a kind elderly lady and she cooked breakfast and dinner for us for 3 days. She will personally bring Guest that stay here for a tour inside the tulous. There is a lot of stairs to climb so suggested to bring backpack

Tulou Viewing Platform Inn is a wonderful choice for experiencing the charm of Fujian’s tulou culture. The location is unbeatable, offering breathtaking views of the iconic roundhouses. The owner is warm and hospitable, even cooking delicious local meals upon request. Amenities are basic but clean and well-maintained. Be aware of an entrance fee charged outside the main park—this is standard for visitors. Also, watch out for taxis trying to overcharge for entry into the park; negotiate the fare beforehand. Despite these minor inconveniences, the inn provides an authentic and memorable stay. Highly recommended for culture and nature enthusiasts!

It has been very nice experienced to stay inside the area. Host has been very nice to bring us tour around the area with explanation of the history. The apartment view is very nice too, and very clean. Host also provide good dinner and breakfast. Overall, a very nice experience and i do recommend to stay here.

What an amazing experience to live in the “chopsticks” buildings of the four dishes and one soup! This was a small and beautiful village and the family who ran the inn helped us carry our luggage up to the inn and later down to the inn. When we arrived they cooked a dinner which was reasonable in price based on a local menu. And then during dinner, they told us that one of the family members will be running a free tour of the Tulous of four dishes one soup for us in which they explained the history of the building of the tulous, especially the oval shaped tulou. Our guide was very funny with his stories (he spoke in Chinese) and it was a lovely time seeing the artists and candy makers in the Tulous. I would highly recommend this place. We did have to bring our own towels (or at least we brought our own and they didn’t supply one), so maybe best to check.

I loved my stay at this local lodging in the tulous. The owner helped arrange transportation from Xiamen to the tulous and tours of the local clusters. He was extremely accommodating and informative. The tulou cluster this lodging was in was quiet and calm and the atmosphere was lovely. The lodging could cook food for you if you requested it, we chose to eat dinner and breakfast there. The dinner had delicious local veggies and the breakfast was simple and filling. Staying here felt like living in someone’s home. Their kitchen was semi-outdoors, the room was simple but comfortable (with air conditioning and en suite bathroom). I loved it and wished I could stay an extra night. It’s probably best if you can speak Chinese, expect a hard bed, and basic amenities.
