🙂 Sharing a hidden gem hotel I discovered in Bole. Last night, we returned to Bole City from Sayram Lake Scenic Area after 10 PM. We had booked the Bole Xihai Lijing Hotel (Bole Grand Bazaar Branch) in advance. The hotel is located right next to the Grand Bazaar, with beautiful night views and convenient parking. The lobby was very comfortable, with a luxurious and warm decor. The receptionists were friendly and attentive. The room was even more satisfying; it was very warm, fully equipped with smart technology including a smart toilet, automatic curtains, a smart bathroom mirror, a hairdryer, and a kettle. The room was clean and tidy, with attention to detail, and even included an emergency flashlight, bottled water, tea, and coffee. Breakfast was on the third floor, beautifully decorated and clean. Unfortunately, we forgot the breakfast time and arrived late the next morning; the restaurant had already closed. However, a lovely lady in the restaurant said they had some side dishes, steamed buns, eggs, and milk, and offered to prepare them for us if possible. Surprisingly, the side dishes were plentiful and delicious, including incredibly tasty braised beef. The milk was also authentic and rich, making for a truly satisfying meal. I'm so grateful for the hotel restaurant's attentive service! 🌹🌹 Also, there's a Snow Lotus Restaurant next to the hotel entrance, with luxurious decor and a strong exotic flair. It's always brightly lit and packed at night. On our evening at the hotel, we had a hot and comforting lamb soup rice (everything at the restaurant was delicious, but it was too late to try it). During this trip, I only stayed one night at the hotel and didn't have time to explore the bazaar. Next time I'm in Bole, this hotel will be my go-to place! ❤🥰🥰

Guest UserThis hotel is just a few minutes' drive from the East Gate entrance of the scenic area. The facilities are excellent, and the bedding is very comfortable. The front desk staff, especially Alamati Beke, was incredibly helpful. He brought us afternoon tea welcoming snacks and even cut the melon we brought ourselves. We really appreciate his service. The stay also included a complimentary boat ride, and Sayram Lake is stunning. Staying so close allowed us to visit both in the early morning and late evening, which was fantastic. Overall, there's room for improvement with breakfast, but everything else was perfect.

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!

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.

If you can stand the dry toilets in the countryside, come here! I actually lived in the summer pasture of Kazakh herdsmen! The experience is superb! The sunset, the starry sky, the sunrise, the flock of cattle and sheep, the enthusiastic puppy. There are so many sheep's screams. The mottled rats running on the hillside in the morning. Before going up the mountain, I washed the parking lot at the point. I also brought some tap water in the bottle and prepared some wet tissues. I could clean it myself and simply washed it at night. The boudoir was built with a stove, not cold, and hot water was burned. The landlord sent small peach and small apricots, sweet! The key is to see the sheep up close, and also ride the horse, happy! There is electricity available at night.

Guest UserI didn't have much hope, but it was really fragrant to live in! The bed was really soft. I heard that it was the Jin Keer mattress. Anyway, I slept until dawn, and my waist was not sore and my legs were not hurt. The boss is very real. Although the room looks simple, there are some, and the hair dryer is also windy. There are indeed no mosquitoes on Sailimu Lake, and it is fine without screens. Sleeping at night is quite quiet. recommend! I will stay here next time, I hope to maintain the standard!

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.

It is close to the old east gate, and it can be reached in ten minutes on foot. It takes about half an hour to walk from the entrance of the new scenic spot. There are a lot of food around, and the supermarket is very convenient. The floor heating is very sufficient, the duplex room type can accommodate 6 people, it is too suitable for a family to stay, the off-season price is relatively high, it is OK to stay for one night. Sailimu Lake is really beautiful! ! ! !

Guest UserThe room is good, with an inner and outer suit, and it is quite comfortable to stay in. The location is also good, very close to the east gate of the scenic area, and it is very convenient to go in and out, but the hygiene is not good. I am used to wiping everywhere, and to be honest, it is really not clean. The service is not good. This kind of apartment is basically half-check-in and half-check-out, but sometimes they will say hello when you come in and out, and they will automatically refill the bottled water the next day. To be honest, if the hygiene of the B&B apartment near the scenic area is better, it is okay to live, because the house is in a good location

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!
