Boasting splendid costal scenery, Stone Inn is filled with cultural elements of the Lingnan area, which loosely refers to Guangdong and Hainan provinces, as well as Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

"Timothy Fok Tsun-ting, the eldest son of Henry Fok Ying-tung, loves Lingnan culture and he has spent over two years building all of these scenery in the inn, allowing more youths to feel the charm of Lingnan culture," said Zheng Caixia, the chief operating officer of the inn.

The inn has more than 100 Manchuria style windows. "Our design team visited all old mansions in Guangzhou's Dongshankou to record the styles and colors of their windows when designing the windows to be installed in the inn. All the windows were made by local Guangzhou factories," said Zheng.

Decorations like tiles, leather chairs, and vintage chandeliers are also able to be seen in the inn.

"Many of the displays in the inn are collections of Timothy Fok Tsun-ting. Some were chosen and bought by him at antique markets in Zhongshan, Foshan, and Guangzhou, while some were bought from Indonesia, such as the iron art chandelier in the lobby, which was bought from an Indonesia manor," added Zheng.

"We hope tourists can feel at home when staying in the inn and we also hope the 41 rooms with different themes can attract tourists to come back next time," noted Zheng.
