Sailimu Lake Bashibai Farm House

It's very close to the lake, so you can watch the sunrise and sunset. It's a good choice if you want to enjoy a quiet moment. I experienced the life of the herdsmen in depth.

If it's at night, the owner has to come pick you up, otherwise you won't be able to find it. The scenery is absolutely stunning. The starry sky is something you can't normally see. If you get up to watch the sunrise, you'll be blown away by the beauty. You absolutely have to try their lamb! It's delicious.

The experience of staying in a yurt B&B this time exceeded my expectations. It was like an immersive experience of grassland life. From the environment to the service, it was impressive and highly recommended! The B&B is located on the open grassland, surrounded by endless green. Looking up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds, and at night you can see the starry sky. The view is super good. The yurts are scattered in an orderly manner, retaining the original ecological grassland atmosphere, without the noise of excessive commercialization, which is very suitable for relaxation. The interior layout of the yurt is very ethnic. It retains traditional elements while taking into account comfort. The space is more spacious than expected. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and it is very stable to stay at night. You can also feel the tranquility of the grassland at night, and the sleep quality is very good. You can see the sunrise over Sayram Lake when you wake up in the morning🌅

The location is great, a bit off the road. You have to walk through the grasslands to the herders' territory, and you need the owner to lead the way. There are many horses, sheep, and even cattle grazing freely on the grassland. They live in yurts, one of which the owner's family also lives in. They have about 6 or 7 yurts in total, surrounded by a half-man-high fence. Cooking is done outside the yurt, and eating is done on a tatami table inside. The table is then tucked away to the side afterward. It's very quiet, and even though it's a bit off the road, you can still see the lake. The lake is on one side, and the grassland and mountains are on three sides—it's absolutely beautiful. We arrived just as the sun was setting, so we rented horses from the owner. Strolling through the grassland in the fading light, with the lake to the left and the mountains behind, it was a truly tranquil experience. The sky was filled with stars in the middle of the night, and even though it was cold, I still ran out to admire them several times. The owner's wife's hand-pulled lamb (it has to be 1 kg or it won't cook well, and it's a huge pot) is absolutely delicious 😋. We couldn't finish the rice and stir-fried dishes, but we almost finished the mutton and soup.

Living on the grassland beside Sayram Lake, it is very cold at night in July. There are cows all around to keep you company at night. The sanitary conditions are average. It is the same as the conditions on the grassland. It is a different herder experience. The herders are very friendly. I forgot to take my power bank, and he drove a motorcycle to catch up with me to take me back. You can also ask the herders to cook. The herders can only speak a few simple Mandarin words, so communication is a bit difficult, but it does not affect

The beautiful hostess was truly wonderful. The room was spotless, with disposable sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers, so there was no need to worry about cleanliness. The host even provided transportation to and from the Xihai Grassland. The yurt was located far from the scenic area, and we were able to enjoy the scenery from the hostess's car. The hostess also raised horses and sheep, offering horseback riding at a very reasonable price. The yurt's location was also fantastic, with stunning views right outside, much better than the views from the campsites at the scenic spots. The hostess was very welcoming and even taught us a local dance. I'd definitely stay here again next time.
