Homestays in Ningxia, China

With the high temperatures in Suzhou and Hangzhou, this is a great escape to the heat in the northwest, featuring a lovely guesthouse village. Nan'an is the largest guesthouse complex in the area, with 40 rooms out of a total of 100. This time, we stayed at Taojiaying West House, with a swimming pool in front and a farm/ranch/ranch in the back – very pleasant. The room details were also very well done, suitable for large families or groups of friends. Both restaurants in the village are good for breakfast: 🌻Xiangke (more variety), 🍜Lao Wang Ji Breakfast & Midnight Canteen. Special praise to Nan'an's management team, including Da Yuan and her group; they communicated with us before our arrival and were very attentive. During our stay, our drone got stuck in a tree in the yard, and the management team helped us find a solution from evening until morning, finally fixing it with a tree trunk over ten meters long. - Climb the Great Wall (five-minute climb to the top) for panoramic views of the Yellow River and the village. - Feeding lambs, riding camels, milking goats. I call it the Yellow River version of ”Wuzhen Village”; the entire village has an integrated design with a Mediterranean feel, perfect for photos.

A very artistic homestay with a very tasteful decoration style. Every decoration is just right, and even the breakfast is so exquisite. There were only two breakfasts originally, but we brought children with us, so the boss made a special breakfast for children, which was so thoughtful! There is also a beautiful souvenir. Although it was opened in 2018, the whole homestay does not seem to be old, and it is still as new. It is a great experience. I recommend it to friends!

The campsite environment was much better than I expected—quiet and stylish! During the day, I could see the desert sands, and at night, the starry sky; I felt completely relaxed and free. The tents were clean, tidy, well-designed, draft-proof, warm, and fully equipped.

The facilities are clean, convenient and practical, and the environment is beautiful. Hygiene is also quite clean The service staff were very enthusiastic and very nice. Everyone had a great time.

This self-guided desert tour is absolutely amazing! The desert scenery is majestic and magnificent, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the golden sand dunes, as beautiful as a painting. The campsite facilities are complete and the staff are warm and caring. The food is diverse, the roasted whole lamb is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is overflowing. Camel riding, sand boarding and other activities are super exciting. Moreover, the self-guided itinerary is free and allows you to deeply experience the charm of the desert. Highly recommended, looking forward to coming again next time!

This place is perfect for families with kids! It's a winery homestay where you can even taste wine. It's a great escape from the city hustle and bustle. The courtyard is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views everywhere you look. My daughter had a blast playing on the swing and fishing 🥳. We booked the 'Manshang Family Room' which has a large terrace and offers a lake view as soon as you open the window. The room itself was clean and tidy, and the bedding was so comfortable I didn't want to get up. The bathroom features a fully smart toilet and even disposable toilet seat covers. The food at the downstairs restaurant was also delicious! We even ordered some to take away for the road, haha. After dinner, we had a wine tasting activity. The instructor gave us a tour of the winery and we got to sample wines according to our preferences. We even DIY-ed our favorite flavors and designed our own wine labels to take home for free. Getting around is also very convenient, with many attractions nearby. It's especially close to Zhenbeibao West Studio, Manpu Town, and the Western Xia Imperial Tombs.

Traveling with my family and staying here was truly a breeze. The room was clean and comfortable, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window looking right out onto the sand dunes. It's wonderfully far from the city's hustle and bustle, with warm decor, plenty of hot water, and fast internet, so we had a really good rest. Right outside the door is a sand pile, which the kids absolutely loved! The desert research activities were also fantastic, and they even gave us sand bottles as souvenirs. The service was excellent too, always ready to answer any questions we had.

Before I went, I looked at the pictures very beautiful. Because of temporary overtime, it was dark at the hotel and missed the sunset, but I was shocked by the warm lights and stars of the hotel. It was really like a fairy tale cabin! ! The toiletries in the room also smelled good lavender! Although I can’t pick grapes in winter, there is no bonfire. The weather is a bit cold, but it’s worthwhile to see this beautiful starry sky. I also met our Dali fellow sister here. It’s really not easy to meet fellows in Yinchuan. I hope I have the opportunity to find you again in the future! My friend also gave a ”northwest is much more fun than the northeast” evaluation. Overall, the experience is very good. The room is very beautiful and warm. The hot red wine is very delicious. The breakfast is exquisite and delicious. I look forward to picking grapes in summer and autumn! !

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this family run guesthouse. There is a lovely courtyard where you can relax and meet other guests. The breakfast was delicious. The decorations around the property are beautiful. The room was large, clean and well equipped. Our lovely host helped organise our taxi to the forest park, as well as our onward bus journey to Pingliang. We highly recommend this homestay.

The value-for-money living experience, both the environment and the service, have brought us unforgettable travel memories. Although we were in a hurry, it was rare to feel a moment of tranquility and warmth here. If I have the opportunity to go to Zhongwei in the future, I will definitely continue to patronize it. I look forward to the homestay business being prosperous and becoming more and more popular!
