Xinjiang Yili Small Loop Accommodation Recommendations

In June, I traveled around Xinjiang's Yili region and would like to share my accommodation experiences from the trip. This is just an introduction—you can refer to my reviews for more details. 🌍 Yili Small Loop Accommodation Stops: Urumqi - Dushanzi - Nalati - Tekes - Kalajun - Yining - Huocheng Huanghuang Village - Sayram Lake - Urumqi Urumqi: 1. Urumqi Pushe Qinyuan Hotel (Images 2-3) 2. Urumqi Atour Hotel (South Lake People's Square Branch) (Images 4-5) Both hotels in Urumqi are highly recommended—great breakfast and excellent locations! Overall Rating: ★★★★★ Dushanzi (Images 6-7): Xigema International Hotel Excellent in all aspects, though breakfast can get crowded with tour groups—just time it right. Overall Rating: ★★★★☆ Nalati (Images 8-9): Nalati Suxin No.1 Hotel Personally disliked this one—mediocre facilities, only decent breakfast, not close to Nalati's entrance. Pretty courtyard but poor value. Overall Rating: ★★☆☆☆ Tekes (Images 10-11): Tekes Hengtong International Hotel Good facilities with complimentary drinks/water in rooms. Overconfident about their pricey breakfast (¥128/person)—varied but excessive for morning meal. Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆ Kalajun (Images 12-13): Kalajun Hanhai Starry Sky Camp Exceeded expectations! Stay inside the scenic area with stellar views from your room—worth overlooking the subpar breakfast. Overall Rating: ★★★★☆ Yining (Images 14-15): Yining Yili Hotel Spacious garden hotel—booked a modern triple room with ample space. The property itself is worth exploring. Overall Rating: ★★★★★ Huanghuang Village (Images 16-17): Huanghuang Manor Only flaw was weak shower water pressure. Friendly service and boxed breakfast hit the spot! Still deducting points for the shower issue. Overall Rating: ★★★★☆ Sayram Lake (Images 18-19): Central Asia Quanna Hotel Another shower problem—electric heater too slow. Water flow was fine but took ages to warm up (had staff check at midnight). Proximity to Sayram Lake is its advantage. Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
