City views, Chinese culture and creative cocktails in Quanzhou
Breathing new life into a landmark building in culturally rich Quanzhou, Kaipuu Belfry captures the city's spirit in a singular structure. Once a bustling shopping hub, the Quanzhou Belfry Department Store has been transformed into a contemporary hotel haven, complete with a Quanzhou-inspired local restaurant and a rooftop bar. From here, you can watch over the neighbourhood as you sip your drink and plan your exploration of Quanzhou's UNESCO World Heritage-rated sights.
Xie Ke, a famous designer in China, crafted the interior design of the Kaipuu Belfry’s Architecture. Each of Kaipuu Belfry’s bedrooms – dubbed Studios and Lofts – are bright, spacious and airy. Smooth, honey-toned wood floors, all-white walls and pops of accent colour make them inviting spaces to work, sleep and relax. The contemporary feel extends to the hotel’s restaurants and bars. Enjoy drinks in the rooftop garden of The Belfry 1934, with views over Quanzhou’s most famous landmarks. Head to the cosy HAM-KHAK all-day dining restaurant, for local appetisers and seafood. And pull up a bar stool at Bar Lotus to soak up the bustling street scene below, over a glass of fine wine, or an experimental cocktail from the skilled bartender.

If Kaipuu Belfry’s city views whet your appetite for exploration, head out into atmospheric Quanzhou’s beautifully preserved streets. A melting pot of religions, mosques and temples dot the city and its surroundings. Kaiyuan Temple, with its imposing – and ancient – stone towers is the largest Buddhist temple in the Fujian region. Hike Quingyuan Mountain to see a huge stone statue of Laozi in all his glory – along with some equally awe-inspiring views of the city. Or stay closer to home and discover the shops and restaurants under the colonnades of picturesque Zhongsan Road.
