Mountain View Hotels in Burqin

Found a gem of a guesthouse for our Hemu trip – Yeju Guesthouse! The experience was absolutely perfect. The location is fantastic, quiet yet central, right opposite a birch forest. Hemu Bridge is just a 10-minute walk away. Waking up, we could open the window to see the morning mist in the valley and wisps of smoke from chimneys – the views were exceptional. Our room was a LOFT duplex with a stylish and clean design. It featured a wet/dry separated bathroom, a smart toilet, and 24-hour hot water. The washer-dryer combo was a huge plus! The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a wonderfully peaceful sleep in the mountains. The owner and staff were incredibly thoughtful. They upgraded our room for free and sent us a travel guide in advance. Their local tips for horse riding, hiking, and dining were all very useful. The beef and chive pancakes for breakfast were absolutely delicious. The courtyard had a relaxed vibe, and our child made friends with a lovely dog. Sitting in the room, watching the mountain views in the morning and evening, was incredibly therapeutic. We felt so safe and comfortable staying in Hemu. Our child didn't want to leave! This will definitely be our first choice next time we visit!

Beyond a five-star experience! The room was incredibly comfortable, and all the amenities were excellent. Bvlgari toiletries were provided, and they thoughtfully prepared earplugs, disposable bath towels, regular towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, facial cleanser, makeup remover pads, and even hydrating face masks! With both underfloor heating and radiators, the room was perfectly warm. Welcome snacks were provided in the room, and in the evening, they even delivered fruit wine, additional snacks, and warm milk! Outside, there was a charming small courtyard with two swings – one overlooking the valley, the other facing the expansive grassland. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Watching herds of horses slowly make their way home across the grassland at sunset was a truly delightful experience! What impressed me most was that the hotel contacted us in advance, provided a comprehensive travel guide, and enthusiastically helped with directions, answered all our questions about local attractions, and offered excellent suggestions. They even helped arrange a car for us to see the morning mist. Although the fog was too thick to see the river, the trip was still incredibly worthwhile. It's an absolute secluded paradise, truly living up to its 'hidden gem' reputation!

I visited in late September, which is considered peak tourist season. The hotel is located outside Hemu Village, on the easternmost side of the ski resort (Jikepulin Ski Resort is huge, and as a fellow skier, it exceeded my expectations). It's about a 5-10 minute drive from the Hemu Tourist Center. Currently, there are no taxis available, but our package included one shuttle service. If you have your own car, it's quite convenient. The room facilities and the views are both excellent. It's a standard ski resort hotel setup, quite spacious, and the facilities are relatively new. I specifically went to compare the lobbies of Hilton and Conrad, and honestly, I feel that Holiday Inn has more of a resort vibe. The other two felt a bit too conventional, at least based on the lobby and exterior appearance, and I didn't see why they should be 30% more expensive. The breakfast was quite plentiful and good. For the dinner set, we chose the grilled fish, which was… incredibly tough. My elderly mother took one bite and couldn't eat it. However, the side dishes were all great. The spicy numbing chicken and the peanut/edamame combo were perfect with drinks. You can tell the staff are all working very hard. The table next to us seemed to have their birthday cake delivered very, very late, and the grilled skewers ordered by the gentleman at the table next to them seemed to have been forgotten. It really felt like they were understaffed, but everyone was polite and proactive in their service.

The most delightful surprise of my Xinjiang trip was the Secret Hive B&B, it was absolutely fantastic! If you're coming to Hemu, I highly recommend staying here! 🏡 **Environment** Away from the bustling Hemu, this place is quiet, comfortable, and full of character. Staying here was incredibly relaxing. The B&B blends beautifully with its natural surroundings, looking gorgeous morning and night. The actual experience was even more surprising than the photos. 🍽️ **Restaurant** I really have to highlight their restaurant! The owner knew we were international travelers and might not be used to the oily and spicy flavors of Xinjiang cuisine. So, every day, he specially asked the kitchen to prepare lighter dishes for us, many of which weren't even on the menu. Many ingredients like bok choy, white radish, and chives were homegrown and incredibly fresh. Xinjiang portions are huge, and they even let us save the unfinished soup for breakfast the next day, and it tasted even better! This is the first time I've encountered such a thoughtful B&B! The coffee shop is also unique, with homemade goat milk. 💛 **Butler Xiao Huang** Butler Xiao Huang's service was absolutely amazing! Even before we arrived, he contacted us via WeChat, providing directions, travel guides, and menus. Every day, he'd ask us in advance when we'd be back and what we'd like to eat. After a tiring day of exploring, we'd return to the B&B to find hot, delicious meals waiting for us. He'd also proactively chat with us and recommend local activities, truly making us feel at home. His drinks were delicious, and the latte art was beautiful! Throughout our stay, we could feel that they genuinely cared for their guests, rather than just providing a place to sleep. The environment, food, and service were all top-notch. This stay was incredibly comfortable! Secret Hive B&B gets 101 points; 100 points just aren't enough! ❤️

This is the first time I've genuinely felt compelled to write a review for a hotel. My family and I were extremely satisfied with everything, from the infrastructure and room layouts to the overall cleanliness of the hotel's public areas, as well as the quality of the breakfast and afternoon tea. What's more, the service was always responsive and incredibly prompt. 0. The location is superb. This might be important but also the least worth mentioning, as there are so many other优点. It's located just 50 meters walk from Qiaotou Station. If you've spent any time in the Hemu Scenic Area, you'll know how convenient Qiaotou Station is for getting around. It's essentially the only point where all three bus routes intersect, and it's also on the way to climb Harden Observation Deck and Hemu Bridge. Such a convenient location allowed me to fulfill my wish of being able to return to the room multiple times a day with my family for rest, leading to a much better accommodation and vacation experience. 1. The hardware infrastructure is impressive, even when compared to first-tier cities like Beijing or Hangzhou. To have such high-quality amenities within a scenic area clearly shows that the owner genuinely cares about the guest experience. From the bathroom facilities to the flooring, countertops, and even the arrangement of sofas and wall finishes, it absolutely surpasses the renovation quality of all guesthouses in Hemu and Kanas scenic areas. The underfloor heating provides ample warmth and can be self-adjusted. Perhaps because we chose a detached unit, there were no issues with sound insulation that wooden cabins often have. But I believe with this level of renovation quality, even non-detached units wouldn't be disturbed, and even the courtyard is meticulously kept clean. 2. The food quality is excellent. As guests staying within the scenic area, every breakfast spread was incredibly rich and offered a wide variety of choices. The juices were freshly squeezed, and the Western-style breakfast items like ciabatta also felt very comfortable and refined. Additionally, the afternoon tea here is of guaranteed quality, with tiramisu and cream cakes reaching the standards of first-tier cities. Milk and yogurt are even available in unlimited supply. The hotel prepared two bowls of sweet soup: one ginger tea and one white fungus soup, both very soothing and refreshing, and both sugar-free and high-quality options. Furthermore, the hotel's welcome dried fruits were genuinely high-quality Xinjiang dried fruits. 3. The room design is tasteful, and the organized activities are high-quality. Both nights of our stay, the hotel organized bonfire movie nights. The chosen films, ”Heidi” and ”My Grandma's Handyman,” perfectly considered the local environment and theme. Showing ”My Grandma's Handyman” during the Mid-Autumn Festival was also very fitting. Moreover, because we stayed on Mid-Autumn night, the staff even brought us mooncakes, and they were the premium Maxim's black truffle lava custard mooncakes, completely exceeding expectations. It shows that the guesthouse truly treats us like family, choosing items we would only buy for ourselves at home. The last point, and I think the most important, is the service attitude and responsiveness of all the staff. They genuinely treat guests with sincerity. Messages sent in the WeChat group were almost always replied to instantly and responded to as quickly as possible. They helped us with any request we had. For example, before I went to Kanas, I was worried about my long nails and wanted to borrow a nail clipper set. To my surprise, when I arrived at the front desk before leaving, they said I could simply keep it. Furthermore, during our trip, they helped us coordinate various supplies within the scenic area for any needs we had. In this regard, having also stayed two nights in the Kanas scenic area at a similar price point (around 4000 RMB), I feel that the Kanas experience might be more like 'affordable housing' with its service, whereas Yijing is completely 'high-end, meticulously decorated' with a service standard equivalent to property management fees of over 10 RMB/sqm. The only slight drawback might be the size of the room, especially the first floor area, which was a bit smaller than expected. However, this is understandable, as house design requirements are strictly regulated within the scenic area. Nevertheless, the overall reasonable layout still allowed guests to stay very comfortably. Overall, I think it was a value-for-money vacation experience and contributed greatly to my pleasant memories in Hemu. Thank you, Yijing!

It's the best hotel I've ever been privileged enough to stay in Xinjiang, China The elegant décor of the rooms, top-notch amenities, and high-quality services, This hotel (Kanas Flower Room Boutique homestay) is indeed a hidden paradise,I loved everything about this hotel, from room types, customer service, and serene surroundings,I had the best experience at Kanas Flower Room Boutique homestay. Their exceptional hospitality, elegant rooms, safe and secure environment, very delicious food at their restaurant, the staff are all amazing, kind and very helpful, A big Thank you to all the staff working there ( Shi Shi , Hanan . Sune Yue, all restaurant staff and waitress Hannan, and the guy who carved the delicious lamb meat and drove us to the bus station sorry forgot his name ) will see you guys again. I highly recommend Kanas Flower Room Boutique homestay.

Boss Liu is such a nice person, warm-hearted, quick-tempered, and attentive. He doesn't know what to ask, and he entertains me warmly. It's really touching. The B&B looks old from the outside, but the decoration inside is very modern, clean and hygienic. It is very good for traveling, especially in scenic spots. The transportation location is convenient for transfers, and it is close to the Kanas River. It is also very convenient to go for a walk along the riverside trail. There are restaurants, supermarkets and other supporting facilities in the surrounding villages. When we went out, Boss Liu was afraid that we would be tired from taking care of the children, so he drove us to see us. Before leaving, he gave us water and helped us carry our luggage. Must give a five-star rating!

The room was clean and tidy, the environment was comfortable, and we received a free room upgrade. The service was warm and attentive. It was very convenient for getting around and sightseeing, with a dedicated car pick-up and drop-off. We didn't even have to wait in line at the front desk; check-in was directly in our room. They patiently introduced us to local attractions and activities. The overall experience for dining, accommodation, and touring was fantastic. I'll definitely stay here again next time, and I truly recommend it to everyone!

The room faces the Populus euphratica forest with snow-capped mountains behind it – the location is absolutely fantastic! The underfloor heating plus electric heating makes it a complete contrast to the cold outdoors, like a world of difference. The owner is very thoughtful, providing full guidance throughout our trip, which greatly enhanced our experience. This trip was definitely worth it!

🌞 The weather today was quite interesting – sunny, then cloudy, then clear again by evening, and my mood shifted right along with it. The place I stayed was incredibly close to the transportation hub, which meant I didn't have to rush while sightseeing during the day. In the evening, after watching the sunset, I could just stroll back in a few steps – so convenient! 🛏️ The room was spotless, and the bedding smelled like it had been sun-dried. It was cool in the mountains, so I slept soundly even without air conditioning. Outside the window was a small woods with a winding wooden boardwalk. A leisurely walk after dinner, with the evening breeze, was absolutely delightful. 💁 The male butler was very down-to-earth. When he helped with my luggage, he even reminded me, ”It gets a bit cool at night, so make sure to cover up.” The restaurant food tasted like home cooking, and the morning congee was thick and hearty, served with small side dishes – very comforting. During my stay here, I witnessed different sky colors every day, from clear to cloudy to a sky full of evening glow. It felt like being gently embraced by nature, truly reassuring and pleasant.
