At the "Problem Headquarters" in Quanzhou, spend a couple of days slowing down.

I stayed at the "Problem Headquarters" in Quanzhou for a weekend and want to share some genuine feelings.

This is not an internet-famous hotel, but a place where you can feel at home like with friends. The guesthouse is right next to Kaiyuan Temple on West Street, a quiet three-story standalone building nestled in an alley. Opening the door, the first floor is decorated with some old items and local souvenirs, not deliberately styled, but more like a friend's living room—warm and cozy.

The room’s window faces the Zhen Guo Pagoda. Waking up in the morning, there’s no rush to get up; you can lie in bed a while and watch the silhouette of the pagoda’s tip in the morning light—this is a daily experience unique to staying here.

The room is spacious, simply decorated, with comfortable bedding, so getting a good night's sleep is no longer a problem when traveling.

Turn right when you go out, and you’re at Kaiyuan Temple; turn left and dive into the lively atmosphere of West Street. The biggest advantage of staying here is being able to leisurely blend into the most authentic lifestyle rhythm of Quanzhou.
