great value

I stayed there for three nights in Sept.. The room was nice. The bathroom, which I care a lot, was spacious and clean. The breakfast buffet had many choices and well prepared. It was about 15min drive to the famous sunrise observation village Beiqi.

Nice place

We spent five nights at this hotel using it as the base visiting various scenic places around XiaPu.  The hotel has a decent hall but the room (upgraded) was fantastic - spacious and clean.   We were impressed by the service, on our day of arrival in the afternoon, dessert was served with a fruit platter.  And we had that throughout our stay.  We asked for a non smoking room and boy, didn't have cigarette odor throughout!   For those visited China tier 3 or 4 cities, you know it is a rarity especially at a local brand hotel.   
Hotel is lifated near Walmart and also the famous seafood Hawking street, so there are plenty of options for food and also other form of activities   

For those visiting Xiapu, I highly recommend this hotel!  

Note : we were there taking photos.  This place is reputed for it photogenic scenery.  

Nice hotel, probably the best in town

This is a fairly good hotel given the obscurity of this little city on the northern fringes of Fujian Province on China's eastern seaboard. 

A favourite of photographers, this has all the trappings of an international hotel, albeit a little cigarette-smoky (it is China after all!), and the outside windows could do with a thorough clean. 

The beds, linens and towels are as clean as any five-star hotel. The hotel rooms were designed on what must be a template for high-end hotels these days, near identical to any hotel you might stay in at the likes of Macau (China's richer, imitation Las Vegas for those unfamiliar). The cleaners could probably work the elbow grease ever-so-slightly more too - but no real complaints either.

Location wise, this was ideal for us. The hotel is located on the nicer side of the city. There is a Walmart and McDonald's one block away; and it is just off a major road (Funing Road) near the Xiapu City museum, which provides a valuable landmark to find your way around. 

More importantly, two buses (bus no. 32 and no. 8) cross Funing Road on their way from the Xiapu Train Station to the local long distance bus terminus at the top of LongShou Road. At only RMB1.00 per person, this is a much cheaper alternative than the RMB20 charged by taxi drivers. 

Now, before you scoff at my penny pinching behaviour, I understand that this may seem insignificant, but you will be blowing hundreds of Chinese RMB every day for transport otherwise. Trust me, the bus terminus is your friend! 

From the bus terminus, you will be able to get to all the major photography spots at a fraction of the cost of a driver. The only caveat is that you cannot avoid hiring a driver for those sunrise shots. But more on this in another post.

Decent, centrally located hotel

Service is very good, rooms are clean, bathrooms very modern, and the Chinese breakfast buffet is quite extensive and excellent. Would highly recommend this to foreign travellers, especially those who don't like the smell of smoke. Not sure of the coffee, though, as we travelled with our own.

Very clean rooms, great breakfast spread

Delux Room I have stayed is rather spacious.  Wifi was fast but you need to bring few adaptors with you as there isn't any wifi plug provided.  You need to key in different password in your room and restaurant.  Room number is the pass word for your wifi.  Signal was only 2 bars in my room.  Thus, I key in the next room number and found 5 bars.  As it was autumn with only 13 deg. C at nite.  Hence they don't fill water in the swimming pool.  I was told the swimming pool is always fully occupied with swimming lessons opened to non hotel guest.

I did not see any security guard around, both in lobby, surrounding and rooms corridors.  Not sure on CCTV.  But security is definitely a minus as any body can take a lift to any level they like despite signboard at check in counter show guest of hotel guest must sign in.

Breakfast is rather meant for local and nearby town.  No western breakfast, folk and knife is provided although they are bread, toaster and butter with Sunny Side Up egg was provided.  Butter is provided on an uncovered plate where everybody can just simply scoop it.

This only a ordinary hotel renovated in 2016.  Do not expect much as the price is rather reasonable booked though Ctrip.

You can take a direct bus from Changle Airport RMB 79.00 (1 way), subject to schedule, which takes about 2.5 hour with 1 x 2 mins stop at Fuding.  Then take a 7 minus walk to the hotel from bust terminal if you travel light of pay RMB 5.00 by motorized tricycle which can take 3 adults, max.

1st direct bus trip to Changle Airport is around 11.30 am.  Thus, I took a train to Fuzhou North Station at RMB 53.00, about an hour trip.  I took a motorised tricycle at RMB 10.00 to the train station which took about 10 minutes.  

Upon arrival in Fuzhou North Train Station. I walked about 10 minutes to the bus terminal to connect the direct bus to Changle Airport at RMB 37.00, about 1.5 hour trip.

Though Xiapu is only a small county but has a lot of development with a Walmart within walking of 5 minutes from hotel.

The county claimed to have the best sea food then many cities, which other cities like Shantou, also claimed the same.

Taxi is very very rare.  You have to ask the hotel to arrange your transport and hoop onto a motorized tricyle outside hotel or any where.

Dijing International Hotel at Xiapu, Fujian

The hotel is well kept and the staff is friendly. The room is clean, well equipped , free wi-fi and comfortable, it's likely the best hotel in this remote little town. Foreigners may find it inconvenient when it comes to money exchange because this hotel does not provide this service, they will have to go to the Bank of China to exchange for local cash and, that was a painful experience for me.
