Xinjiang Accommodation Collection Revealed, Blood and Tears Teach You How to Choose Lodging

Sisters, although we found a tour leader, our trip was customized privately, with accommodations and meals tailored to our own tastes. So, for the sake of filming, we also adjusted our lodging according to our shooting schedule, make sure to look carefully, these are lessons learned from blood and tears. However, if you're not particularly interested in photography, you can ignore this and just find a reliable tour leader to play with. Summer in Xinjiang is a must-visit spot you definitely don't want to miss 🙅‍♀️ 1️⃣ Sayram Lake Sayram Lake is vast, and there are still flower seas to see now, with changeable weather, such as cloudy mornings and sunny afternoons. There are tourist buses entering from the east gate, but no hotel accommodations inside 🛏️ Yurt 🌟 Pros: You can avoid the crowds and see the sunrise, located on S Bay Road, which gets crowded in the afternoon 🌟 Cons: No showers, dry toilets, and a bit of a smell (mutton smell? Personally tolerable). 2️⃣ Yining Kazanqi After visiting Sayram Lake and Guozigou Bridge, head straight to Yining, where there are many good hotel options. The next day you can visit Yining's Kazanqi and Liuxing Street, with blue doors and windows that seem to transport you abroad 🛏️ Star-rated Hotel 3️⃣ Qiongkushitai Although the journey here is long, mainly because of the long driving time due to many mountain roads, it takes 4.5 hours by car from Yining, but the scenery here is really beautiful, and there are many homestays with beautiful views 🛏️ Wanqing Collection 🌟 Pros: For example, the Wanqing Collection where we stayed this time, the landlady turned out to be my fellow villager, with excellent service, and a large public area, with every window facing the grasslands. Whether in the room or the public area, sitting there makes you not want to go out, and their home-cooked meals are also very delicious 🌟 Cons: The homestay is located in the heart of the grasslands, so there is no wifi, but there are no other houses around, so the view is very good. 4️⃣ Kuerdening A niche treasure destination that you must visit, with only two accommodations inside, you can also bring your own tent 🏕️ (there is a designated tent area) 🛏️ We chose the Kafeng Base Camp ⛺️ Tent Hotel 🌟 Pros: Located inside the scenic area, you can avoid the entrance fee 🎫, close to Qimengde Viewing Platform and Kuerdun Campsite, clean, delicious breakfast 😋, complete facilities, available coffee ☕️, horse riding, showers, and toilets, beautiful scenery, zero distance contact with horses 🐎, good value for money 🌟 Cons: Also no wifi, located in a valley, can't see the snow-capped mountains 🏔️ There is also another campsite, Bairui Campsite, located on the mountain top, with views of the snow-capped mountains, offering tents and cabins, but it's very hard to book and also expensive. 5️⃣ Qiaxi From the town to the most beautiful spot in Qiaxi Scenic Area, Qiaxi Scroll, there is still some distance, and during peak season, there are many cars and it's not easy to pass each other, so we chose to stay inside the scenic area 🛏️ Qiajing Resort Base 🌟 Pros: We stayed in an Apple Cabin type, inside the scenic area, very close to Qiaxi Scroll, and you can see the snow-capped mountains 🏔️ from the hotel, with private bathrooms and air conditioning in the rooms 🌟 Cons: The Apple Cabin space is not very large, but there are also Bubble House options. 6️⃣ Narati There are no hotels in Narati Scenic Area, only yurts 🪟 Narati Accommodation Homestay 🌟 Pros: Only one kilometer from the scenic area to the visitor center, a boutique homestay with a garden and courtyard, the landlady has a very good service attitude, the rooms are very clean, and the hot pot is delicious 😋 Cons: Basically a homestay without any drawbacks.
