A Homestay Manor Blending Chinese and Western Cultures.

🏝🏝 Gulangyu Island, a World Cultural Heritage site, has been voted as "China's Most Beautiful Urban Area" by National Geographic Magazine and is known by the nicknames "the Switzerland of the East," "Garden on the Sea," and "Exhibition of International Architecture." 📍📍 Located at No. 15/17 Quanzhou Road, Bailu Manor on Gulangyu Island is just a 20-meter right turn away from the bustling Longtou Road commercial street, the island's most prosperous area. A 200-meter walk takes you to the sea, where you can feel the Pacific breeze. ⛴⛴ The manor is within a five-minute walk from key attractions such as Sanqiutian Wharf, Piano Wharf, the Eight Diagrams Building, Sunlight Rock, the Fish Bone Museum, and the Underwater World, making it impossible to miss the essence of Gulangyu. 🏠🏠 The original building of Bailu Manor is a historically renowned mansion on Gulangyu, situated at the golden section of the island, with sister buildings at both ends that differ in style. It inherits the style of the western consulates of the past, blending numerous Southern Fujian and Western elements into its European architectural style. 🌼🌼 Entering through the iron gate adorned with golden patterns, you are greeted by a square courtyard shaded by layers of greenery, with a towering, exquisitely beautiful European Renaissance-style steel structure pergola at its center. Beside the pergola is a rare hexagonal ancient well on Gulangyu that provides drinkable fresh water. On the left side of the courtyard is the Fontainebleau Manor, a building that combines Southern Fujian red brick arcade style with British consulate architectural elements. 🌸🌸 The decorative art that combines European-style fine wood paneling, stone reliefs, and traditional solid wood louvered windows creates a unique atmosphere. Thirty luxurious French noble court-style guest rooms and bedding of the same standard as Hilton form a distinctive style, earning the manor the title of "museum-level homestay." ✨✨ As the most special existence on Gulangyu, the indescribably beautiful Bailu Manor is where Lin Yutang began his journey "into contact with Western life for the first time," setting off on his "journey through Chinese and Western cultures" and witnessing the start of his great love with Liao Cuifeng. Here, with the waves, the wind, the island, the shadows, the birdsong, the stories, and the history... we look forward to welcoming you to Bailu Manor. Whether in the courtyard, by the window, on the rooftop, in the living room, under the moonlight, or in the breeze, relax comfortably and let the stories unfold!
