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.

還未到達長汀，在高鐵上就接到台小姐姐的電話，約好在三元閣接我們，太貼心了！還發了長汀古城的遊覽攻略，手繪地圖，推薦美食店。初到長汀，衹有一天時間，這是很大的幫助。民宿是明清時期驛站改建而成，古色古香，老宅內精美的木雕隨處可見。。。狀元樓位於縣前街，離著名的店頭街一步之遙，逛街美食都很方便。來長汀這個美麗的小城，住狀元樓民宿，正好感受古城的特有韻味。。。

非常有古風氣息的民宿，很多遊客還前來打卡觀光。老闆人很好，因為民宿位於古城內，汽車限行，遂開着旅遊觀光車接送我們到酒店。店內的孔雀是否有精氣神，感覺是不是有點兒靈氣呀哈！
