Guest UserOur last stop in Xinjiang was at the Intercity Hotel by Sayram Lake. We booked an Executive King Room and a Twin Room. The hotel kindly upgraded our King Room to a lake view, and we got to witness the most beautiful sunset over Sayram Lake right from our room! The hotel is very new overall, and the facilities are excellent. They even provide a hairdryer and an ironing machine. The water pressure and temperature for the shower were perfect. The breakfast selection was extensive, and there was no crowding or waiting in line. The front desk staff tried their best to put our two rooms on the same floor, but they were still a bit far apart, which was a minor inconvenience. On one or two occasions, the elevator in Block B wasn't working well, leading to a long wait, but other than that, everything else was flawless. Five-star rating from me – I'd definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Sayram Lake.

Yanxiaoyan25What an amazing hotel! It's very close to the East Gate of the scenic area. When we were driving there, it felt a bit remote and we were a little worried, but then we were greeted with a vast view of Sayram Lake! When we checked in, the front desk attendant saw we were with elderly family and children, and not only upgraded our room for free but also gave us two complimentary breakfasts – so thoughtful! The hotel has dedicated staff to help guests with their luggage to their room. The room itself was large, clean, and well-equipped, making for a very comfortable stay! You can also order food to your room. At first, I thought the dishes were a bit pricey, but they turned out to be huge portions. Considering the quantity, the price is totally reasonable for a location right by the scenic area. All in all, I highly recommend this place!

crazygillianOn our last night at Sayram Lake, we checked into the newly opened Shuiyunshan Pullman Hotel this year. We initially chose it for convenience, but ended up being charmed by a series of small, thoughtful touches. During check-in, the front desk cheerfully mentioned the 'afternoon tea gift' was on the fifth floor of the adjacent building. Even more surprising, despite booking a standard twin room, we found children's toothbrushes and soft-soled slippers upon entering. The light-colored, fluffy carpet was spotless, a rare achievement for a new hotel, showcasing exceptional housekeeping.
You absolutely must try the in-room dining; the food is better than most restaurants in Xinjiang. The young lady who delivered our meal was incredibly sweet – kudos to her!
Breakfast was another delightful surprise. Xinjiang milk tea paired with baursak is a standard, and both coffee machines were equipped with ice buckets. New hotels often falter on details, but this one excelled with its attentiveness. More memorable than the scenery itself was this perfect warmth.

Five-star review! The lady at the front desk is absolutely gorgeous and incredibly helpful; you can contact her anytime with any issues. The hotel owner, a handsome gentleman, is also very kind. We couldn't get a taxi, so he personally drove us to the scenic area for free. The hotel's location is great, surrounded by plenty of food options. Sayram Lake is breathtakingly beautiful; I'll definitely be back!

First, the nomadic yurts are nestled halfway up the mountain. A few minutes' drive up the mountain on the left side of the scenic road allows you to watch the sunrise and sunset over the mountains, the moon rise and set over the lake, and the night view of Sayram Lake—it's absolutely stunning.
Second, the owner is handsome and welcoming. Their boiled lamb is a must-try, and the lamb skewers are also highly recommended. They're delicious.
Third, the temperature difference between morning and night is significant. The yurt has a small stove, which keeps it warm, so I wasn't cold at night. I even asked for a bucket of charcoal when I stayed there, but I didn't use it all.
Fourth, there's no place to wash. I asked for a kettle to boil water, and in the morning, I squatted outside the yurt to brush my teeth. I couldn't find a basin, so I just wiped my face. My baby, who wears makeup, had to figure out how to remove it at night and put it on in the morning, haha.
Fifth, the dry toilets... One thing to keep in mind is that the grasslands are unobstructed, and you won't be able to explore the vast expanse of the open air. You get it? There are two dogs who can understand what I say, a fighting cat, and countless cattle, sheep, and horses. I even woke up in the middle of the night to secretly watch the night view of Sailimu Lake.
Sixth, I brought disposable bedding, but I didn't use it. Not because I didn't need it, but because I was exhausted after a crazy day of fun. The high altitude and strong winds made me gasp for air when I moved, so I was so busy that I forgot about it.
Seventh, overall, I recommend this place for those who are driving themselves. The scenery and experience can make up for the other shortcomings. After all, eight out of ten people are not satisfied with their lives. From this perspective, it's already great.

y3nch1ngWe booked the guest rooms, which are actually a “盲盒” concept where you get whichever room is available upon check-in. Luckily, we were upgraded to wooden cabins with two rooms each. Since I booked 3 rooms, they arranged 2 wooden cabins for us.
Each cabin came with two independent bedrooms with attached bathrooms, plus a shared living room. We absolutely loved it because we could gather and spend time together in the living room. We even had steamboat there one evening, which made the stay feel extra cozy, lovely, and convenient.
There was also a huge open area in front of the cabins, but unfortunately the wind during our stay was too strong for us to sit outside. In the evening, sheep were grazing right outside our unit. On good weather days, you can even see Sayram Lake and the snow mountains directly from the cabin, which was really beautiful.
The cabins are spread across a large area, so you do need to walk to your unit, but the pathways are properly paved and easy to walk on. Our cabin was about 200m from the car park.
Special shoutout to the staff, Hemu and Dan Ni Er, who were extremely helpful. They used their small transport buggy to help move our luggage during check-in and check-out. Since we were travelling with elderly family members who had difficulty walking, they also kindly gave them rides to and from the cabin, which we truly appreciated.
Highly recommended for those looking for a different and more memorable experience compared to a normal hotel stay.

I finally get it! There's a shade of blue in this world called Sayram Lake Blue 🌊 Staying in this yurt, you open the door to this breathtaking blue that's etched into your soul. Standing by the monument, watching the lake's waves, with snow-capped mountains in the distance – every single frame is so beautiful it leaves you speechless! The yurt is clean and has a unique Kazakh charm. The owner is super friendly and even pointed out the best photo spots. If you're coming to Sayram Lake, staying here is an instant romance booster!

It was my first time staying in a yurt, and it was a novel experience. The dormitory-style bed was advertised as a six-person room, but it was big enough for ten people. The children were very happy, doing somersaults and rolling around on it. It was cold at night, but there was a stove inside, which made it more comfortable. In the morning, there was a service where cattle and horses would ”wake them up.” The owner's Kazakh potatoes were delicious, but the mutton soup was a bit too fatty; I only drank half of it. Overall, it was a pretty good experience.

Special price room, exceeded expectations. It’s much better than living in Yunshang opposite ten days ago. It was beyond my expectation. The guy at the front desk was very enthusiastic. Because the hotel I stayed at the day before didn't send me the information and I didn't know the phone number, he checked again and again, got on the phone, helped me send me the information, and checked me in.
