Zhaosu Xiate Bridge Baihe Homestay

The boss is very nice, the set meal is delicious, the service is good, the room is also good, it's pretty good. Overall, it's cheap and affordable and very close to the scenic area. It's a very good deal.

The view from the room was stunning. I especially loved the window and the swing. You could see a bit of the snow-capped mountains outside the window. It was very close to the Summer Tower entrance, only a 3-minute walk away. The owner was very kind and welcoming, offering advice and showing us places to visit. (His daughter was also very cute.) Haha.

Facilities: The house is made entirely of logs, so there's some air and light leaks, and the soundproofing isn't great, but it doesn't leak rain. There aren't many people staying here, so the house is a bit dusty. The hail and wind that day caused some electrical issues. The windows are large, but unfortunately they aren't single-sided, so you can still see outside clearly. Privacy could be improved. Cleanliness: Not great. Environment: Very novel, with a great view. On rainy days, it's nice to sleep at the head of the bed and watch the rain fall, but it's a shame the windows are double-sided. Service: The house is run by a local ethnic minority. When I arrived, only the granddaughter and I were there. They were very welcoming and helpful, but also kept busy with a lot of questions. There are a number of cats in the house.

The hotel is okay, and it's very close to the Xiata Scenic Area, just over a kilometer away. It's a good choice for those heading to the park early in the morning. However, it's located between two highways, with large trucks passing through. The room's soundproofing is poor, and it's definitely noisy. Trucks rarely come around midnight, and only start to appear around 7 a.m. the next day. If you have a good sleep schedule, it should be fine, but those with poor sleep quality may still have some issues. On the day of our visit, I think the owner didn't preheat the water, so it ran out mid-shower. I recommend preheating it to avoid this next time.

The service is basically non-existent, not as good as the reviews say. The boss only saw it when he checked in. He didn't see anyone when he asked about breakfast in the morning. When we went to the entrance of the scenic spot, we finally saw breakfast. It was basically a breakfast coupon given by other accommodations. We didn't have it. We had to pay extra to eat it. It was so unpalatable. The grassland at the back is basically not playable. The grass is very tall, not very good, and not very big. The most important thing is that it is noisy, very noisy. Many people check in at 12 o'clock, which is very noisy. There are some tables and chairs at the door of the wooden house. You can hear just talking normally while sitting there. The room is not soundproof. I listened to the snoring of the big brother next door all night. Although the price is not expensive, you can consider it if you have good sleep quality. After all, it is economical and affordable. If you can’t sleep well, it’s better to find another place to stay! The only highlight is the swing, my kids love playing on it.

It's the most expensive place to live in Xinjiang (I didn't go to the Altay region), but the facilities need to be improved. The door to the room couldn't be locked or even closed. There was constant noise in the middle of the night and I almost didn't fall asleep with the light on. And this B&B seems to accept large groups. I don’t know if it’s just starting to accept one or two individual travelers or something. Please work harder.
