Sanbao Guest House is located in the historical and cultural center of Fuzhou: the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys neighborhood. It is located on Tonghu Road, on the other side of Nanhou Street, where few tourists visit. Entering through an archway called "Wang Yuan," you will see the magnificent ancient building gate with gray sculptures and stone carvings.
The Guest House has a total of 54 rooms and 6 courtyards.
The lobby and interior spaces are constructed with wooden mortise and tenon joints.
It is said to be made of Myanmar teak.
As soon as you enter the lobby, you can smell the faint woody aroma, which makes you feel calm.
The six courtyards each have different scenery.
Each has a different "pavilion" that is exquisite and ingenious.
Ancient building enthusiasts will definitely stop to admire them for a long time.
Carefully study the couplets on the pavilions.
They are almost all written by literati from the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys.
The culture of the century-old neighborhood is cleverly integrated into this place.
Pavilions, carved beams and painted screens, octagonal caissons, Huian stone carvings, saddle walls,
Intangible cultural heritage lacquer paintings, rubbings of calligraphy and paintings of literati, gray sculptures...
It is simply an "ancient building museum."
Courtyard room with a king bed
Rooms with their own small courtyards
The floor-to-ceiling windows frame the beautiful garden view.
What amazes me is the "Origin of Family Names" that is equipped in the room.
The sense of ritual and culture is fully enhanced.
The amenities are also quite rich and in place.
Tea, welcome fruit, drinks, snacks, coffee...
You can also stay in the courtyard without leaving the house.
A quiet place in the hustle and bustle of the city where you can empty your mind!
