One of the most exotic yet accessible experiences for tourists on all of Kulangsu is a visit to this stunningly restored family mansion, which has been converted into a tea house where you can sample a diverse array of local teas.

Here you can also sit down for formal tea service at one of the wondrously knarled tree trunks-turned-tables in one of the back rooms, or simply browse around the inside and outside of the mansion and its courtyards, and imagine the life of a wealthy local family a century and a half back in time.

Take time to notice the smooth and graceful curves on the arched roofs, typical of the old Minnan architectural style and none other. From certain angles, in certain of the mansion’s many connected courtyards, this architecture is not just harmonious and historic: it is just heartbreakingly beautiful, a shrine to elegant design that speaks across generations, a timeless homage to a lost era of grace and gentility.

在鼓浪屿上，最吸引人且不怎么限制游客的景点之一，应该要算是这家由家庭府邸改造的茶园了。在这里，你可以尝试许多不同的当地茶叶。喝杯茶享受一下悠闲时光，或在府邸里游览一番，仔细观察里面的闽南建筑风格，你会真正的发现这座茶院的优美。最重要的是这个茶园的建筑是四落大厝的闽南风格的老建筑。
