This is a South French-style garden villa gently embraced by islands, forests and mountains. Located in Huangcuo Tatou Community, Siming District, Xiamen, it is close to Huangcuo Beach on Huandao Road while being far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Staying here is like returning to your childhood hometown, filled with the ambiance of rice fragrance and streams.
Not only does it boast beautiful natural scenery, but it is also a community full of Minnan customs. Many Minnan people live here, with plenty of local specialty snacks and various folk activities. It offers a quiet and secluded relaxation spot in the city for those who love natural scenery and value quality of life, making it perfect for family trips, get-togethers with girlfriends or friends, personal gap time to unwind, or team-building activities.
The homestay consists of six areas: 1. Free parking area; 2. Summer garden area; 3. Private courtyard; 4. Wabi-sabi style guest rooms; 5. Flowing water tea house; 6. Camping starry sky rooftop with mountain and sea views. In addition, a children's pool is prepared. The courtyard has trees and flowers, and there is a back mountain. In summer, you can hear frogs croaking and crickets chirping; in winter, there is warm sunshine and birds singing. Close to Huandao Road and the seaside, with a sea-view terrace and several large floor-to-ceiling windows, the rooms that capture the mountain scenery through the windows make the homestay itself a tourist attraction.
Wake up early, stretch on the terrace, watch the sunrise, and listen to the gentle call of nature—it's like a magnificent and colorful beautiful painting. In the large garden, you can have a French-style picnic on the grass in spring, gather around a stove to make tea in winter, hold an open-air big-screen movie party in summer, and enjoy flowers and tea in autumn. A beautiful day with friends starts in such a cozy way.

"I highly recommend Haiqi Shanyin; it was a very comfortable stay.
We stayed at Haiqi Shanyin during our recent trip, and it was truly excellent. I wanted to write a thorough review.
First, the location is absolutely fantastic. The guesthouse faces the sea and is backed by mountains, so the air is incredibly fresh. Opening the window early in the morning, you can smell that refreshing scent, which instantly invigorates you. It's also very close to the beach, just a few minutes' walk away. We took a stroll on the beach every evening, enjoying the sea breeze and walking on the sand – so relaxing! It's also very convenient if you enjoy watching the sunrise.
The owner has meticulously maintained the courtyard, keeping cats, dogs, and fish – they've truly put thought into creating a wonderful environment.
We were also very satisfied with the room. It's quite spacious, 50 square meters, which is incredibly roomy. Coming back to the room every day was very comfortable, unlike some guesthouses where the rooms are so small you can barely move. Even with our luggage spread out, there was still plenty of space for the two of us. What I appreciated most was the cleanliness. The floors, sheets, and bathroom were all thoroughly cleaned; there were no unsightly spots. It was a reassuring stay, without any worries about allergies or discomfort. The bed was comfortable, and I slept very well last night. When I came back tired in the afternoon, I could lie in bed and watch TV via screen mirroring – it was so relaxing!
Now, let me talk about the service. The receptionists were incredibly kind. They picked us up and dropped us off at the community entrance and recommended good restaurants. Later, when we encountered a minor emergency, they got us ice packs. We needed to check out a little late because of some business, and I was initially hesitant to ask, but when I mentioned it, they immediately extended our stay and even asked if we needed any help. I was truly touched; encountering such helpful staff while traveling is incredibly heartwarming.
Overall, my stay at Haiqi Shanyin was excellent. The scenery was beautiful, the rooms were spacious and clean, and the service was attentive. I'll definitely stay here again next September when I bring my family. I also recommend it to anyone wanting to relax by the sea."
