The experience offered by Stephen and his family far exceeded our expectations. We went for a long weekend to Yongding County to explore the tulou. The tulou area is large and spread out, not very well signposted, and very few people speak English. Stephen is a gem in that he speaks enough English to sort out transportation, tours and itineraries.... More

Upon my arrival, I was happy to see my name posted outside the tulou to welcome back. I didn't pay attention to that until Steven told me so. I was totall absorbed by the genuine hospitality of his family, from the grandmother, parents, and his siblings. His sister offered us many types of tea but never push us to buy... More

If you want an authentic tulou experience, stay here. The youthful boss Steven is eager to please (as are his sisters who will ply you with tea from their home-grown hand-roasted stock) He knows enough English so that you can arrange car rentals etc by email beforehand. Using drivers from this area as opposed to those from Xiamen travel agencies... More

We stayed here as a family for one night. Beautiful location, very nice friendly family running the establishment. We were there with our two children of 3 and 5 and their grandparents. The rooms are basic and the bathroom even more so. The flights of stairs are a little tricky and the walls and floors thin. It is not a... More

Fuyulou is not a five star experience but it is one not to be missed. Stephen's organisation of our visit to Fujian was faultless. We were met on arrival at the airport in Quanzhou and then driven to Chongwu and on to spend the night in Xiamen. The next day on to Fuyulou via a couple of Tulou clusters. On... More

We went here, two retired couples, by hiring a driver and car from Meizhou. The drive took less than two hours on the new roads. Stephen Lin came out in his motorcycle to take our luggage into the house while we walked for 15 minutes to the place. The weather was getting cold and we were concerned about basic comfort... More

We arrived at YongDing train station at 5AM and the staff from Fuyulou was there. All in all excellent service: transportation from YongDing, 1 day Tulou tour, and arranged transportation to Xiamen. Stephen speaks great English, big plus in this area. Food was just ok but the area being quite remote our expectations were not too high. The room was... More

Fuyulou is one of the many Tulou you can stay in but perhaps the easiest to organise in advance. I spent days searching the internet for all the options and while they exist they are not well set up for communications. Stephen Lin speaks good English (---), is well organised and the location of this rectangular ancestral tulou is within... More

This was place was great to stay in. The rooms were clean and with all the amenities - tv, sheets, clean bathroom and beds, hairdryer and even a mosquito-repellent device! There was nothing more that we could have asked for. Stephen, the young host was very attentive and made sure that we had everything we needed before we set off... More
