Suxin No. 1 Yard

Just arrived back to Singapore from Xinjiang, and i am already miss the cool weather and great views. After staying in many hotels and homestay, the one that left the most impression was still this 宿心一号院, was introduced by a friend and got amazed by it in many ways. Firstly the environment, Xinjiang is well-known for great natural scenes and this place demonstrates it perfectly. The yard is blooming with flowers and filled with many trees. For a second, i thought the flowers and grass are fake as they look so fine. The place is serene and chill, i could just spend the day just on the well maintaijed yard. I spent few hours on the chair on the grass patch just to look at the moutains and let the warm sun do its magic. In late April, i managed to catch both side of perks. In front of me, i am witnessing moutains turning green by day. And if i just turn around, my eyes are filled with gorgeous snow mountains. I was blown away by the scenery, and totally lost track of time. The owner spent great effort on designing the place and creating the atmosphere. You would see a friendly cat roaming around freely and few cute rabbits chewing on the grass。 was told that more flowers are hiding under the grounds and trees are waiting to bear fruits. There is a backyard where they grow vegetables and fruits, raissd over 100 chickens just to provide the freshness. They also have a tree house that is facing the river, that is where i would stay the next time. Must be great waking up to see a river in front of you. Secondly the food, they provide awesome breakfast. Organic fresh ingredients with the magic hand from the local chef make magics. I don't usually eat tomatoes but can't say no to their tomatoes fried eggs. Their chicken are self-raised and you can expect the nothing but quality. 大盘鸡 dapanji， also known as big plate chicken, love the potatoes that comes with it. The best potatoes ever! Also did order some of the local dishes, all is good. Lastly, the host and staff are the highlights of the stay. The host is a humorous gentleman that is filled with passion, he shared with me many things and can tell he loves what he do. He gave me quire a few food recommendations on the possible places to go, what to skip and what to expect. Cant find a better local guide than him. The staffs too are interesting people, managed to understand Xinjiang better with their help. It was fun to talk to young people that is filled with energy.

Leaving this review in English to help out the foreign folks. I travelled from Singapore and absolutely got amazed by the su xin homestay. The place is a mix of excellent staff service and homestay quality. You will be welcomed by the down to earth homestay owner and the friendly homestay staffs(+ cat staff). He gives a hearty welcome to every single guest to make sure that you are well taken care of, regardless like about service or food provision. When possible, he offers you a proper intro of the place. If you need any help or travelling advice, reach out him. Not forgetting to mention, the chef is great! I love the local potatoes and eggs and other fresh ingredients procured locally.It is also of prime location, within minutes away from food and amenities in town but you get to enjoy the tranquil and simple beauty of nature. All the rooms have floor to ceiling windows, direct view into the amazing greenery. I stayed in the room with skylight where I got to star gaze late at night while lying on my bed. It’s abit chill at this time of the year but you can also walk down slope from the homestay and enjoy the night stars while standing beside the small river! The river is just walking distance. In the courtyard，covered with tulips and resting corners to sunbath and enjoying the scenery with tea. I’m lucky and got to enjoy the afternoon with awesome weather, clear skies! The homestay is also growing fruits and vegetables for their own consumption. Adding on about the prime location, from the homestay to Narati sky grassland entrance and tourist centre is just within minutes drive. You can enjoy the homestay breakfast buffet and place orders for dinner when you return from the grassland. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

A fabulous homestay! Booked the treehouse room which was exceptional. The staff go above and beyond, and are super friendly and attentive. A standout was definitely the food - ate all meals here, chef was excellent! Would definitely stay here again.

Cozy homestay with a nice garden. Although I explicitly booked a room with a river view , I saw other rooms were facing the garden without any privacy - I got one with garden view. Only room #1 offers you some privacy, but I needed to pay additional 400 RMB. The room descriptions need to be more accurate. It's cozy, but doesn't justify the comparable high price
