Changting Zhuangyuanlou Homestay

In Tingzhou we had the great privilege of staying in a heritage building converted into a BnB, and this building has an even crazier story - it was the imperial stage-post of Tingzhou, dating back to the reign of Emperor Chenghua of Ming (late 1400s). In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian empire was so massive that it became necessary to develop what was likely the most efficient postal system the world had ever seen up till then. In the following Ming Dynasty, China inherited and refined the imperial postal system so that there was an abundance of stage-posts in the empire to provide lodging for couriers delivering imperial edicts, and traveling officials. If you think it’s expensive to stay in such a gorgeous and unique building, think again. We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and value for money of this place, as well as the friendliness of the staffs.

一直嚮往古風派建築，突然決定了行程第一個念頭就是要找家好點的客棧，長汀古城景區內外的客棧、酒店真多啊。糾結了很久，最終選擇了狀元樓。事實上這是整個行程中的住宿天花板，無論是空間佈局還是服務都很好。老闆人很好，知道我是第一次來，熱情介紹了古城的遊玩攻略，還免費升級了客房，景區裏的民宿，鬧中取靜，非常不錯，民宿裏還有家百年茶館，遊玩歸來在院子裏曬曬太陽、吹吹風、喝喝茶真的太愜意了！強列推薦。

環境很好，鬧中取靜，設施齊全，衞生乾淨！ 周邊吃的東西很多，去夜遊汀江古城牆很近，走路幾分鐘就到了。 老闆客家人，非常熱情，下次再來！
