Stayed at the hotel of a lifetime! Reluctant to leave

This Indigo in Xinjiang, opening the window feels like stepping into an autumn oil painting of Nalati 🎨 I originally just wanted to find a place close to the Nalati Scenic Area, but the moment I opened the door to the Nalati Indigo Hotel, a splendid destination in Xinjiang, I was instantly touched by the "refined wilderness"~ The first feeling upon entering the room was "so quiet you can hear the wind passing over the grassland" 🤫 Closing the door completely blocks out outside noise, even footsteps in the corridor feel muffled as if wrapped in cotton. The bedding feels clean and fluffy with a hint of sunshine, the black ceramic sink in the bathroom is spotless, and even the ethnic-style bathrobe hanging on the hanger carries a faint fresh scent. As someone a bit of a neat freak, just stepping on the carpet and spinning around made me feel at ease. At night, with the warm yellow wall lamp on, curled up on the sofa, you can hardly hear the air conditioner’s breeze. Sleeping until the morning light wakes you up is pure bliss! The moment I drew the curtains, I couldn’t help but say “Wow” — outside the window were golden meadows on the hills, with snow-capped peaks in the distance, like God’s spilled palette right before my eyes 🌄 Sitting at the small table on the room’s terrace, I could see the wind rolling waves of grass toward the mountains, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of pine needles and pasture. The lobby’s round floor-to-ceiling windows frame an even more dynamic landscape painting; while sipping tea, clouds slowly brush past the snowy peaks, and the shapes of light and shadow on the ground quietly change. This kind of “bringing the wilderness into the hotel” romance really makes you reluctant to move! A few little hidden tips to share 📌 The hotel’s ethnic-style bathrobe is super photogenic, remember to wear it on the terrace for a mountain-view photo; definitely try the local yogurt in the minibar, its sweet and sour taste perfectly refreshes; if you want to shoot the lobby’s panoramic view without people, go before 9 a.m. when it’s almost empty, and the warm light gently caresses the dome’s patterns beautifully. Also, remember to request a mountain view room in advance — the view really makes a difference~ This stay has firmly placed “wilderness hotels” on my Xinjiang must-experience list 🌟 The hotel is located at No. 1 Tianlu Avenue, Nalati Town, Xinyuan County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang. Whether you’re exploring the Nalati Grassland or nearby areas, staying here feels like making your home in the scenery. Next time I come to Ili, I definitely want to linger here for a few more days~
