Homestays in Nanjing

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.

Very kind staff. I suggest to contact them in advance to know directions to the village.
