When the scorching heat of midsummer sweeps through the city, Qiongkushitai is just entering its most vibrant and flourishing season of the year. The snow atop the mountains melts into crystal-clear streams, the lush greenery seems ready to drip down the slopes, and wildflowers scatter across the endless meadows like stars in the sky—this is what summer should be like: pure, refreshing, and brimming with the vitality of life. Why do I dare say "Snow Cedars" are worth traveling thousands of miles for? Because everything here has been measured with my own steps and crafted with my heart. 1️⃣ **Prime Location, Exclusive Scenery** 🗺️ "Snow Cedars" grow right in the heart of the forest! Not just near the forest, but when you open the windows, you can reach out and touch the rough bark of century-old snow cedars and breathe in the top-notch air infused with pine resin. 2️⃣ **Stay in the Soul of Kazakh Nomadism** 🌡️ Who can resist the joy of a perfect 22°C? While the city steams at 40°C, I’m wrapped in a light blanket stargazing✨! The sturdy wooden house acts as a natural insulation layer, and when the mountain breeze blows, the sound of pine trees rustling is so refreshing you’ll want to roll around in delight! No need for air conditioning during a nap; the sound of the stream💧 will lull you to sleep in seconds~ (Insomniacs rejoice!) About my homestay: Wooden houses, large windows, cozy bedding... It’s all about relaxation! I deliberately didn’t install a TV📺 because isn’t the 24-hour HD nature documentary outside the window more captivating? 🦌 If you’re tired of the fast-paced life and want a place to catch your breath, daydream, and recharge🔋... My door (and the stunning views) are always open for you! 👉 Want to book or chat? Check out my profile! If you’re planning to visit, make sure to contact me in advance! Let’s protect this summer oasis together! 💚
