Just returned from staying in the "Little Switzerland" of Nalati, and it was the ultimate escape from the daily grind!

Girls, I found my dream hotel in Nalati! Lying in bed, you can gaze at snow-capped mountains and grasslands🌄 Just a 5-minute walk to the grasslands—this InterContinental-affiliated heavenly hotel is absolutely divine!! 🏨【Address】: No. 006, Nalati East Street, Xinyuan County No. 006, Nalati East Street, Xinyuan County, just 520 meters from the scenic area entrance! Open the window to the Tianshan pastures, with Zuoye Campground and Xinyi Self-Driving Camp nearby—perfect for photo ops and instant social media wins📸 🌆【Design Style】: The hotel blends Kazakh nomadic culture into its design, with wooden structures and ethnic patterns. The lobby’s dome is inspired by traditional yurts, merging modern minimalism with rich Central Asian vibes—every corner is magazine-worthy. 🌆【Soundproofing/Hygiene】: As a newly opened hotel, the soundproofing is excellent—only the sound of the grasslands and distant horse neighs at night. Hygiene standards are strict, with soft bedding, a dry-wet separated bathroom, smart toilet, and premium toiletries—perfect for cleanliness enthusiasts. 🛏【Room Types/Layout】: - Deluxe King Room: 46㎡ mountain-view room with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the snow-capped peaks—a must for couples! - Courtyard Twin Room: First-floor room with a small courtyard—ideal for sipping tea and stargazing with friends! - Grassland View Room: Watch sunrise and sunset from bed—your social media will blow up! 🚌【Transport Tips】: ✈️ Fly to Hejing Bayinbuluke Airport, then a 3-hour taxi ride (~¥500-600). 🚗 Self-drivers rejoice! 2.5-hour drive from Yining—free parking at the hotel! 🚌 5-minute walk to the scenic area, then hop on a shuttle to the heart of the grasslands! 🏨【Personal Review】: The front desk staff welcomed us with Kazakh-style milk tea. The room overlooked lush grasslands and distant snow-capped peaks. Swimming in the indoor pool at sunset was pure magic. The next day, we joined a hotel-organized grassland hike—absolute bliss! I’m definitely staying here again on my next Xinjiang trip! ⛺【Activities】: - Indoor Pool: Year-round heated, with stunning grassland views—a unique experience. - Gym: Open 24/7, fully equipped, with sunrise views over the grasslands. - Grassland Adventures: Horseback riding, valley hikes, and Kazakh homestays for a deep dive into nomadic life. - Winter Skiing: Nearby ski resort offers snowy slopes—double the fun in winter. 🍩【Dining】: - Qiaxiu·Neighborhood Restaurant: Buffet with Chinese/Western dishes and local specialties. Try Kazakh milk curd and freshly baked naan for breakfast, and don’t miss the hand-pulled lamb and roasted buns for dinner (~¥80-120/person). - Breakfast: Western/Chinese/Asian options, 07:30-10:30 (weekdays), 07:30-11:00 (weekends). Adults ¥168, kids (1.2-1.4m) ¥88, under 1.2m free. 🏬【Nearby Attractions】: - Nalati Scenic Area (520m): Must-visit spots include the "Air Grassland," valley forests, and Snow Lotus Valley—set aside a full day. - Zuoye Campground (340m): Viral glamping spot with stargazing tents and grassland BBQs. - Xinyi Self-Driving Camp (760m): Perfect for road-trippers, with RV camping and outdoor movies. 🍽️【Food Recs】: - Miaoting Authentic Beef Noodles (1.0km): Tender beef in rich broth—add chili oil for the win. - Bingdinghua Restaurant (1.0km): Must-try Xinjiang big plate chicken and spicy lamb trotters—huge portions. - Jianglaike Xinjiang Cuisine (1.8km): Hand-pulled rice with grilled lamb ribs—finger-licking good at ~¥60/person. 💴【Cost】: - Deluxe King Room: From ¥2,682 for 2 nights (~¥670/night/person). - Grassland View Room: From ¥3,148 for 2 nights (~¥787/night/person). 🧡【Tips】: - Check-in after 15:00, check-out before 14:00 (late check-out subject to availability). - No pets allowed (except service animals). - Pack for big temperature swings: light jackets in summer, down jackets in winter.
