水調歌頭民宿

顏湘芬（水調歌頭.定風波）

金門縣金城鎮後浦出生，母親是後浦在地許姓女兒，父親來自於鼓浪嶼，從小在充滿古厝與洋樓的後浦長大，記憶中古厝是金門房子的典型，一棟小小的古厝孕育著兄弟姊妹11人，房子很小情感很濃，每天有母親親手準備的飯菜香，小孩們嘰嘰喳喳的笑談聲，記憶中的美好全都被保存在古厝中，喜歡古厝其實更應該說是懷念孩童時期的人性最美好最純然的情感，於是，2005年標下金門國家公園管理處修繕的第一棟古厝開始，滿懷著情感的延伸，保存古厝的使命感，希望將這份美好傳遞給遠道而來的旅者，分享人性最美好與單純的部份。

風在古厝中漫遊，陽光從清晨在古厝的院落中挪移，四季花卉安然的順序開放，自從回到古厝中，開始體會到生活的哲學與價值，古厝讓我安放身心，回想以前帶團出國的生活，踏足許多國家的經驗，回到家鄉，回到古厝，正好將自己累積的經驗與所學的專業，在古厝中一一呈現，驚喜萬分。

希望有緣相遇的旅者，跟古厝相遇跟我們相處，可以從體驗中得到一些啟發與養分，每個人都是一本書，從懵懂的摸索到年少的輕狂，聽風聽雨，流動的歲月累積著每個人的生命智慧，能相遇自是有緣，希望透過兩百多年的古厝智慧，增加我們彼此生命中的能量，在人生旅途上穩健前行。
 

Our Story — A Life Rooted in an Ancient House

I was born in Houpu, Jincheng Township, Kinmen. My mother was a daughter of the local Hsu family of Houpu, while my father came from Gulangyu Island. I grew up surrounded by Kinmen’s traditional houses  mansions. In my childhood memories, these old houses were simply what a home in Kinmen looked like.

Our little traditional house was home to eleven brothers and sisters. The house itself was small, but it was filled with warmth and affection. Every day, there was the comforting aroma of meals lovingly prepared by my mother, accompanied by the lively chatter and laughter of children. So many of my most beautiful memories remain preserved within the walls of that old house.

Perhaps my love for traditional houses is, in truth, a longing for the purest and most beautiful emotions of childhood — the closeness of family, the simplicity of life, and the warmth of being together.

In 2005, I successfully bid for the first historic house restored by Kinmen National Park Headquarters. It marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life. What began as an extension of my affection for old houses gradually became a sense of responsibility — a wish to preserve these historic homes and to pass on the beauty they hold to travelers who come from afar. Through these houses, I hope to share something simple yet precious: the warmth and goodness that connect us as human beings.

The wind wanders gently through the old house. Morning sunlight slowly moves across the courtyard, while flowers bloom quietly in their own season.

Since returning to live in a traditional house, I have gradually discovered a deeper philosophy and value in everyday life. The old house has become a place where both my body and mind can find rest.

Looking back on the years when I worked as an overseas tour leader and traveled through many countries, I now realize that returning to my hometown and to an ancient house allowed everything to come together. The experiences I accumulated through travel, together with my professional knowledge and understanding of hospitality, could finally find their place here. Seeing them unfold naturally within these historic spaces has brought me more joy and inspiration than I ever imagined.

For every traveler who has the good fortune to cross paths with us, I hope that your encounter with the old house — and your time spent with us — may offer you a little inspiration and nourishment for your own journey.

Every person is a book.

From the uncertainty of our earliest explorations to the boldness of youth, we learn to listen to the wind and the rain. As the years flow quietly onward, our experiences gradually become the wisdom of our lives.

Every meeting is a kind of fate.

Through the wisdom held within these two-hundred-year-old houses, I hope that we may enrich one another’s lives, gain a little more strength and understanding, and continue our journeys through life with steadier and more confident steps.
