Staying at this hotel in Xining is definitely the right choice

Discovering a treasure for your stay in Xining! Hanting Youjia is the proper way to experience Northwest travel. "Looking west to Kunlun, gazing east at Hehuang," I finally set foot in the long-awaited Xining, and Hanting Youjia Hotel became my first key to unlocking this city. Here, you don’t have to rush your itinerary, yet you can live the poetry of the Northwest in your daily life. Waking up to the morning sun, opening the window to see the distant dark mountain shadows, it feels like the vast scene of "a solitary smoke rising straight in the desert" from Wang Wei’s poetry is right before your eyes; in the evening, sitting on the hotel’s small terrace, watching the sunset gild the clouds, you recall the majestic grandeur of "the long river and the round setting sun." It turns out that poetry and the distant land are so close to your pillow. It understands travelers’ expectations for comfort—the bedding is as soft as stepping into clouds, washing away the dust of the journey; the bathroom has a dry and wet separation, and hot water comes instantly, the most genuine comfort on the road; a small desk by the window with green plants makes writing travel journals even more pleasant. It understands our need for convenience—just a 5-minute walk to the snack street, where the aroma of sweet fermented rice wine and hand-grabbed meat fills the air; the bus stop is right downstairs, so you don’t have to detour to get to Ta’er Monastery or Qinghai Lake; the front desk staff thoughtfully provides local guides, clearly marking even which yogurt shop is the most authentic. It even understands the ritual of traveling in the Northwest—the lobby displays photography of Qinghai Lake, immersing you in the scenery as you check in; breakfast features local specialties like porridge and tsampa, and with each bite, you taste the morning flavor of Xining. Next time I come to Xining, I will choose this place again—after all, there aren’t many places that can turn travel fatigue into poetry~
