Tulou Herongzhuang Inn

Very tastefully decorated rooms with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. Owner Alice and her husband were very prompt in answering our queries and arranging transport for us.

It was a great experience being able to stay in a Tulou. Despite being a tulou, the facilities and the room were very good. The tulou is located near Taxia village so we were able to walk with the owner to the village and enjoy dinner at a local restaurant. The owner also kindly helped arrange car transport to and from Nanjing station as well as for the day so that we could visit numerous tulous such as Tianluokeng and Yongding. She also kindly took us around and explained the different historical backgrounds behind each of the tulous.

The owner can speak English very well and she can provide Taxi to pick up from the train station to the hotel. I got the memorable experience about Chinese breakfast and local fruits. I appreciate to stay in this homestay.

The bed & breakfast is a lived in tulou. Families are still living there. The experience of living in the tulou is exceptional and memorable

Nothing really. Unless you are looking for five stars hotel kind of living conditions then this type of lodging is not for you.

Very authentic experiences with modern facilities.

Friendly n accommodating lady owner. Nice homestay life in authentic toulou. Simple local breakfast n quiet rooms. Value for money.

Minor improvement is to put in more cloth hangers in the bedroom. Everything else is satisfactory. Lady owner can write n speak adequate English.

Alice was very friendly and was in touch with me via Wechat to arrange pickup at the bus stop. She also helped me rent a bike to explore the tulous nearby, arranged meals at night and sold me a local rice wine bottle. Everything was very smooth :)

Alice is very helpful. We were picked up from Zhangzhou train station. There is no easier way to reach this place on our own. This is a 400 year old tulou that we stayed the night. Of course, the rooms were with “modern” amenities like air conditioner and hot water shower. We engaged Jesse to bring us to nearby commercial tulous. In the evening we had dinner at the restaurant in Taxia village next to the river (which overflowed the banks the next day after we left). We had dish of fried fish caught from the river. We had porridge breakfast prepared by Alice in the tulou.

We had a wonderful stay at this nice tulou hotel. Alice and her husband gave us a very warm welcome and made me and my family (two children and my parents) feel like friends. It was such a pleasure to talk in English and chat about China, Tulous, Hakka people and lots of other things while sipping Fujian tea. The five rooms are in a modern design which blends in nicely with the 300 year old tulou. Alice and Jesse have made an exhibition on the renovation works they have done. The hotel rooms are part of an inhabited tulou, so there is some normal life going on which I liked. Breakfast was fried noodles or rice with fruits for a fair price. Also, Alice helped us with organizing transport to further tulous. Taxia village is nice stroll around and a very good base to explore the region. It is part of three nice tulou sites (with Tianluokeng and Yuchanglou) in one ticket and these three are far less crowded than the other clusters (Heguilou and Huaiyuanlou) and Yunshuiyao village.
