Yanziwu Courtyard · Leisure Restaurant

About Yanziwu Courtyard

Yanziwu Courtyard Leisure Restaurant is at 18 Jinxi Road, Shili Village, Mayang River Eco-tourism Zone, Changtai District, Zhangzhou — right by the river. Away from the city bustle, guests describe the atmosphere as "half everyday warmth, half poetry": by day you can sip tea, read and enjoy farmhouse flavors; in the evening gather around the charcoal stove for tea and slow conversation as time drifts by.

The kitchen follows an "eat the season, eat local" farmhouse philosophy, cooking Changtai local ingredients into home-style dishes that go perfectly with rice. Suitable for family gatherings, friends' meet-ups, and also private bookings for reunion dinner or team building.

Restaurant interiors: dining hall and private rooms overlook the mountain scenery

Yanziwu Courtyard is a Cuixi butler-recommended partner restaurant, independently operated. Cuixi guests can ask the butler to pre-book rooms, order in advance or arrange transfers.
