Choosing a Homestay Near Ulanqab Volcano, I Almost Fell into a Big Trap!

Friends, I just returned from the Ulanqab Volcano, and it was truly breathtaking! But when it comes to choosing accommodation, I have so much to say—it almost ruined my entire stargazing trip! If you're also planning to explore this "Martian landscape," take my advice: picking the wrong place to stay can waste all the stunning views! Especially if you want to capture gorgeous starry skies or experience the charm of the grasslands, you must read this guide to avoiding pitfalls + hidden gem homestay recommendations! 🌋 Just How Amazing is the Ulanqab Volcanic Group? - Otherworldly landscapes right at your doorstep: Climb to the top of No. 3 Danlianlu Volcano (North Danlianlu) for a panoramic view of the massive crater. No. 5 Volcano boasts the most intact cone, while No. 6 Volcano (South Danlianlu) with its black-red terrain is incredibly photogenic! Every shot looks like a sci-fi blockbuster. - Dazzling starry skies over the grasslands: A romance you’ll never find in the city. - Unique experiences galore: Wear an astronaut suit for "Mars" photos, collect colorful volcanic rocks, gallop on horseback across the grasslands... endless fun! 🚫 Avoid These Accommodation Pitfalls I Fell Into! 1. Location is king—don’t settle! I initially booked a cheap hotel 40 minutes from the volcanic group. To shoot the stars and sunrise, I had to drive on dark, unfamiliar grassland roads at night—terrifying and nearly got lost! Lesson: Stay close to the core volcanic area (especially near No. 3, 5, and 6)! 2. Don’t overlook basic amenities! Temperature swings are huge, some places have unstable hot water, or even power outages. Imagine shivering with no hot shower! Spotty Wi-Fi makes it hard to check guides. 3. Beware of "photo scams"! Some places look spacious and bright online but turn out cramped, outdated, and dirty—nothing like the ads, crushing your mood. 4. Limited, pricey dining options: Few restaurants nearby, expensive and mediocre. If your stay doesn’t offer meals or a kitchen, eating becomes a hassle. 🌟 After my mishap, I switched to Muyan Homestay on day two—it dodged every pitfall perfectly! 📍 Prime location, walkable! Right at the foot of No. 3 Volcano! Truly "wake up to volcano views!" Sunset 🌅, starry skies 🌌, sunrise—all just a stroll away in slippers, saving tons of time and energy. 🌌 Stargaze from bed! Their floor-to-ceiling window starry room is unreal! I stayed in one—cozy under a blanket with tea, the Milky Way 🌠 right outside. 🏠 Beyond comfy modern rooms, they have upgraded traditional yurts! Clean, warm, and modernized, blending culture with comfort. Bonfires 🔥 in the courtyard at night amp up the vibe. 💰 Best part? Affordable! Affordable! Affordable!
