A True Hidden Gem – The Best Stay of My Xinjiang Trip! Out of my entire journey across Xinjiang, this homestay was by far the most memorable and heartwarming experience. The moment I stepped into the beautifully decorated home, with its stunning blue hues, traditional Uyghur details, and peaceful courtyard covered by a canopy of vines, I instantly felt at ease. It truly felt like home. What made it even more special was the incredible hospitality. The owner was exceptionally friendly, always ready with a warm smile and willing to help with anything I needed—whether it was sharing local tips, helping with transportation, or simply chatting over tea. Their kindness made me feel not just like a guest, but like part of the family. The attention to detail in every corner, the peaceful swing in the courtyard, and the cozy atmosphere created the perfect setting to relax after a day of exploring. I can’t recommend this place enough—if you’re traveling through Xinjiang and want to experience genuine warmth and culture, this is the place to be.

The place is a cute hotel ran by a lovely woman. I didn't get her name but she gave us a fantastic breakfast, and even gave us fresh milk that was prepared just that morning (it was delicious!!!). The standout experience from Yili Blue Lane B&B was the musician / instrument maker that is at the front of the property; he played us music that was so beautiful it made us emotional. Apparently, the owner of this B&B has decided to give him a place ever since his place was gone! Truly, a special place even though the rooms are certainly historic. As long as you don't expect brand new hotel amenities, you will be very happy with your stay.

The location is good and close to Yining's sights, the facilities are good, and the room was in immaculate condition. There was no food, but the owner/manager, Lisa, had free fruit available. But best of all was the service - Lisa is an excellent host: she upgraded our room at no extra cost, helped us in many ways, found us when we got lost on our first night in Yining and took up back to the hotel, invited us to join her and some friends for a lovely evening, and to our surprise drove us to the train station.
