Qixu Reef Hotel Quanzhou is a member of SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) and a high-end brand under The Qixiang Hotel Group. Just an hour's drive from downtown Quanzhou will take you to Weitou Village in Jinjiang City. Once a bustling port along the Maritime Silk Road, it's now a tranquil fishing village. 1. The hotel is located on the "Weitou" coastline of Jinsha Bay on the southern peninsula of Jinjiang City, Quanzhou—a famous hometown of overseas Chinese. This area has been a vital port for Quanzhou's foreign trade since ancient times, renowned as "the essential passage for ships traveling between the northern and southern oceans." 2. The hotel's design blends breathtaking sea views with marine culture, with the entire structure standing on ancient reefs, embracing the natural bay scenery of Jinsha Bay. With a unique style designed by Chinese architect Xie Ke, the theater-like lobby preserves the original reef landscape, while 270-degree sea-view balconies allow guests to enjoy the magnificent horizon. 3. The hotel features 53 rooms and suites, each with a balcony facing the natural sea. Here, there's no cliché "eternal love" romance—only billion-year-old reefs weathered by storms and ceaseless crashing waves. You can stroll to the crescent-shaped beach at dusk or wake up to the sound of waves in the morning, savoring life's simple pleasures. 4. The hotel has one restaurant serving breakfast and Western cuisine for lunch and dinner, with consistently high-quality dishes—the aged steak is a must-try. The lobby's Bar Reef offers complimentary tasting vouchers for guests, featuring excellent signature cocktails. The newly opened Haeir Café is perfect for photos; sipping an Americano with the sea breeze makes every shot Instagram-worthy. 5. While the hotel itself offers few activities, it's ideal for a staycation. You can fully unwind, daydream, rest, read, or hike. The infinity pool with unbeatable ocean views and the fitness center are paradise for active guests, though even non-sporty visitors will be captivated by the scenery. 6. Outside the hotel, a 30-kilometer crescent-shaped coastline awaits exploration, with Weitou's reefs dating back to the late Jurassic period. History lives on through local residents who maintain traditions of fishing, farming, and maritime trade across generations. After exploring Weitou Bay, return to the hotel and dine at the unique Get Holiday restaurant, savoring freshly caught seafood and air-dried beef.

April in Quanzhou | Heading to the gentle, free sea 🌊 Another successful off-peak trip The seaside in late April is quiet and gentle Empty beaches where you can run freely The title comes from the name of this Quanzhou hotel, Seven Xu Reef KAIPUU. (Finnish "kaukokaipuu") perfectly describes what travel means to me. Located on 175-million-year-old natural reefs in Weitou Village, Jinjiang, Quanzhou, every corner of the interior space has a natural poetic beauty. Especially the architecture and interior design of the public spaces - you can sit in any corner, listen to the waves, and enjoy the moment for hours. It's quite far - about a 50-minute drive from the airport. But it's definitely a place worth visiting. The beach is particularly beautiful, and the reefs, waves, and sea breeze are all very refreshing. The surrounding amenities are average, certainly not as abundant as downtown. The hotel restaurant is beautiful too, but the food is just okay. I love this hotel built on the reef Perfect for a slow-paced weekend to unwind

| Is it worth driving for 8 hours? Qixu Reef Hotel, as the name suggests, is really a hotel built on a reef, which is also one of the hotel’s biggest features. Here you can find vast sandy beaches, beautiful sunsets and sunrises, as well as magnificent fireworks on holidays. Every scene and every shutter click is very photogenic. It is really suitable for sisters who love taking photos! The hotel’s benefits include tea-drinking fun, yoga classes, five free Trip Moments, two special drinks every night, and more. It’s packed with activities and you won’t feel bored at all! The hotel's breakfast is semi-buffet, and the ordering includes special snacks such as Fujian seafood noodles and shacha noodles. The buffet is salad, various fresh fruits, juices, etc., with a rich variety. The seafood restaurant nearby recommended by the hotel is also very delicious. The guest room is clean and tidy, especially the toothpaste they chose is Marvis, I love it! I can hear the sound of the waves in the room, and the waves 🌊 accompany me to sleep, it is really safe and comfortable! The downside is that the hotel is located in a village in Jinjiang City, too far from downtown Quanzhou, and the surrounding supporting facilities are seriously inadequate.

Living in the hustle and bustle of the city for a long time, I have always longed for a seaside vacation that could soothe my soul. The Qixu Reef Hotel, located in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, fulfilled all my fantasies about a seaside vacation and was an unforgettable healing trip. First impressions upon arrival: After arriving at Quanzhou Station by high-speed train, the hotel's pre-booked car was already waiting for me. The car ride took 75 minutes. As the car slowly approached the hotel, the sound of the waves gradually became clearer. As I stepped into the hotel gate, the white waves lapping against the reefs in the distance immediately caught my eye, instantly soothing my travel fatigue. Stepping into the lobby, the simple yet stylish decoration style, with the front desk decorated with native reefs as the main tone, complemented the sea view outside the window, making me eager to start this seaside vacation. Second, the room: a perfect blend of sea view and comfort I stayed in the Poolside One-Bedroom Suite. It is said that there are only 4 such room types in the entire hotel. Pushing open the glass door, the endless sea is unreservedly displayed in front of you, and the fresh sea breeze wraps the unique atmosphere of the sea into the room. The room is warm and comfortable, with soft beds and exquisite furniture. Every detail reveals the hotel's intentions. At night, I fell asleep to the soft murmur of the waves. In the morning, I woke up in the first ray of sunshine and the sound of the waves. This experience was so wonderful. Third, hotel facilities and services: thoughtful and comfortable The hotel's facilities are very complete. The outdoor infinity pool seems to be connected to the sea. Swimming in it makes you feel like you can embrace the entire ocean. There is also a beach trail. Strolling along it allows you to feel the power of the sea up close. The service is impeccable. I would especially like to thank my personal butler, Wuhoo, a super nice young man. From the enthusiastic reception at the front desk to the thoughtful care of the room service, I felt the warmth of home. Fourth, surrounding exploration: a double feast of nature and culture There are also many places worth exploring around the hotel. The nearby fishing village is full of a strong atmosphere of life. Strolling through it, you can feel the local customs and culture. Walking along the coastline and admiring the beautiful sea views along the way, my body and mind were greatly relaxed. The time spent at Qixu Reef Hotel was a wonderful journey of embracing the sea and reconciling with myself. Here, there is the purest sea view and the most comfortable slow life, allowing me to find a spiritual habitat in my busy life. If you also long for a seaside vacation to escape the hustle and bustle, Qixu Reef Hotel will not disappoint you.

The lobby area next to the front desk is designed in the southern French style, with the endless sea outside the window, as if abroad, I come down here from time to time to sit in a daze, quietly watching the sea. It is recommended to come and take pictures in the morning, the dark blue sky with the interior lighting design is very charming, as if on a cruise ship; A road leading to the sea into the hotel is my favorite architectural space. "The sky is round, the sea and sky are one color" is my understanding of this design. It frames the sky and the sea, as if architecture and nature are cleverly integrated.

The infinity pool in the middle faces the sea, and the scenery is stunning. The gym on the left also has a large floor-to-ceiling window directly facing the sea. Exercising in this environment is pleasant and very comfortable. Out of the gym there was an area that felt like I was in a "canyon", the high walls on the left and right sides and the big on the ground seemed to make me feel the architectural "beauty of nature". · 🛏️ Room I find the design of the room particularly relaxing, you can see the sea as soon as you push the door open. All the amenities are standard with luxury, and the most memorable thing for me was the welcome card handwritten by the general manager, which was really full of sincerity. · 🍛Meals Because I arrived at the hotel early, after checking in, I went to the restaurant in the village next to it to try it. The seafood in the village is cheap and large, and the taste is also very good, very good value for money. [星眼][星眼][星眼]。 Dinner was Western food in the hotel restaurant.

On an early summer afternoon, with the sun glistening on the sparkling sea, I drove alone to Weitou Village, Jinjing Town, seeking a long-awaited sense of tranquility and beauty.

Quanzhou's very own Jeju Island｜Qixu Reef Hotel A hotel worth visiting a city for "Watching the sea in winter is so romantic, especially at dusk, during the blue hour" This is a hotel that grows on the reef I've been following it since before it opened The interior is designed by Xie Ke, and I must say, Xie Ke never disappoints The hotel faces the sea, and every room has a sea view At night, you can fall asleep to the white noise of waves crashing against the reef Washing away the day's fatigue I stayed at Qixu for two days, it was so comfortable, I'll come back to relax again when I have time

Right in Quanzhou! So beautiful! The scene will really be shocked A huge building space on the seaside reef🪨 High-end and textured, looking at the sea in the lobby feels like being on a cruise ship, free and comfortable~ The hotel is located in Weitou Village, Quanzhou. The building is integrated with the scenery. It is built on the seaside reef and named "Reef". The design blurs the boundary between indoor and outdoor, allowing the space to connect with the sea view. The sand is fine and the waves are clear, and the sea and sky are one color. The hotel has 53 rooms, adjacent to the crescent-shaped beach. The combination of sea view and neutral-toned room style is as beautiful as a movie set. Each room has a sea view balcony, so you can enjoy the sea view without leaving your room. A hotel on the reef Beautiful and advanced design Really love the hotel lobby Falling asleep to the sound of the waves at night is also healing The weather must be beautiful☁️☁️

It's popular for a reason. It's really worth a visit! Quanzhou, stop 2: Qixu Reef Hotel. After booking, a butler will add you on WeChat to confirm your transfer and help you book hotel activities. There are fireworks on Friday and Saturday nights and public holidays, and you'll get 5 free photos from Jianxiu Trip Moments. Transport: Although it's remote, the hotel offers a free transfer service. It takes an hour to get from the Bell Tower to the reef. Dining: The hotel only has one restaurant, with an interesting name: Flip Flops and Caviar. The best breakfast is the satay noodles, the rest is hard to describe and there isn't much choice. The nearby Hai'er Cafe and the hotel's Western restaurant are open to the public, so you don't have to be a guest to enjoy them. Room: I stayed in a poolside one-bedroom, which was beautiful. The toiletries are the same as the Bell Tower's, all from Wenxian, and the turndown service's sleep spray smells amazing. Service: Average, not very professional. Summary: The service doesn't match the facilities and scenery. 🌚

The only hotel I stayed at this year that didn’t disappoint me So far, it’s the most satisfying staycation I’ve ever had It’s in Quanzhou! So beautiful! The scene is really shocking.

A hidden seaside paradise in Quanzhou, perfect for a happy holiday! 🚘 It's about a 1.5-hour drive from Xiamen to the hotel🏨 🏨 The hotel is built on a small reef that is millions of years old, facing the beach and the sea🌊. It's not overly commercialized, and you almost have a beach to yourself🏜 🐲 The joy of a hidden island is a healing experience after work😍. 🏨 The hotel practices environmental protection, without damaging the beach environment. The original reef is preserved, and the rooms use eco-friendly recycled paper boxes for drinking water🍵 👍 The infinity pool is perfect for photos, satisfying my need for swimming and photography🥰 🏘 The room has a large floor-to-ceiling window facing the sea. In the morning, a ray of sunlight shines through the curtains, and with a yoga mat, the sea breeze and the sound of waves accompany you🌊 🌅 Morning yoga and meditation became my favorite moments, with the whole world quiet and beautiful. ❣️ The hotel's food🥗 didn't disappoint me.

Quanzhou is my first choice for off-peak travel in October! With its pleasant temperature and secluded beaches... If you're tired of the green mountains and rivers of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, it's time to head south. This time, I arranged a four-day, three-night solo trip to Quanzhou. Just go! But I didn't take the usual route, my first stop was from the beach. 📍Qi Xu Reef Stone I underestimated my expectations for the hotel built on the reef. Qi Xu Reef Stone, which opened in May this year, is a new work by Master Xie Ke~ It's so beautiful that it's overwhelming😍 Far away from the bustling city, it has a strong holiday feel, like going to the summer in Sicily, bright and shining! The guest rooms face the invincible sea view, and you can watch the sunrise without leaving the house. In the minimalist design, the sense of time of light and shadow is integrated, and every detail is carefully polished. Natural elements are also flexibly used, even in the guest rooms, you can deeply feel the healing of the natural system. The benefits of getting up early are... you can enjoy a whole sea area~ 7-9 am is also the best shooting time, the sun shines into every part of the hall from the floor-to-ceiling windows, where the light reaches, everything has a story. I look forward to time, just stop here.

Qixu Reef Hotel 📍The hotel is located on a small reef that is billions of years old between Xiamen and Quanzhou. Walking into the hotel will make your eyes light up. The surprise is a beauty that cannot be described in words. The hotel is built from bottom to top. After entering from the entrance, you can go down to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hotel lobby, which will not affect your desire to enjoy the waves from any angle. The lobby of this hotel is more like your living room at home than a lobby. The sofas are completely based on your preference. You can sit around a semicircle and chat with your family, or find a single sofa to enjoy the sun and watch the sea. 🌊This time I stayed in the [Cape One-Bedroom], which has a small hot tub in the room, which is a bit small compared to the bathtubs in other room types. I visited my friend's one-bedroom apartment at Seaview, and the bathtub there was much bigger than the one in my room. If conditions permit, it is recommended to live in the seaside area. What surprised me the most was that the hotel activity rooms scattered in various corners of the hotel and the tea rooms they cooperated with BAISAO made me, a person who doesn't like drinking tea, feel that they are really good. ❗️And before I knew that this was Mr. Xie Ke’s work, the blank space in the hotel’s sense of space❗️ really brought out the essence of the teacher’s work. When I learned more extended details later, I really exclaimed that art looks like a movie set. Worth mentioning: 🏋️The hotel’s gym! Very useful, all new gadgets. Not only can you watch the sea while riding a bike, but you can also find shocking rowing machines. Hahaha it’s really fun. After waking up every day, the hotel staff will lead the children staying there to pick up shells and play in the waves on the beach. Whether it is a family trip or a solo vacation, this hotel really refreshed my understanding of this hotel. 🍝In the evening, we also had a creative fusion Western meal at the hotel’s main restaurant, "Flip Flops and Caviar". When I saw the name of this restaurant, I really liked it. It’s just abstract. ps: Please do not drink excessively in this hotel, remember! Otherwise, the wind from the reef will blow you directly to the "Quanzhou Bell Tower". I checked in at two Qixu restaurants during this trip. Look forward to my next post.

I stayed at the hotel and was healed by the sea The hotel stands next to the reef You can see that the design is beautiful and high-end The magic of a billion-year-old reef | 2024 Surprise Hotel I found another beautiful seaside resort in China where every room has a sea view The restaurant is called Flip Flops and Caviar, which is delicious. The fireworks at 8pm are also very romantic I really like the 7 series hotels in Fujian, 7 Shang and 7 Xu are great Quanzhou Qixu Reef Hotel Unfortunately, it was a typhoon day, gloomy, and the light was not good A strong Chinese woman in her life still walked on the reef in the wind and forced to take pictures I really love the lobby of this hotel It's also quite healing to fall asleep with the sound of the waves at night. The sea must be beautiful when it's sunny Fortunately, the next day I got up and it cleared up a bit, and I made up for a little bit of blue sea When checking out and leaving, I was given a shell picture frame, I really like it Qixu Reef Hotel

The hotel entrance has a downward staircase designed as a flowing water surface, and at the end of the staircase is a large window design like the cover frame, which is very chic and suitable for taking pictures, and any picture taken is very good. Traveling by sea, born by the sea, this is the complete spiritual color of the Min people. Here, feel the surging impact of the waves and find the ideal place for poetry and the distance.
