GGuest UserLet me start with the conclusion: staying here was the best decision I made in Saihu Scenic Area! I chose this place to see the stars, watch the sunrise, eat delicious food, drink milk tea, encounter various small animals, and experience the local culture. Luckily, all of this happened! For stargazing, this place is a must-see. My main goal this time was to see the Milky Way and a sea of stars. First, I compared it with nearby campsites and hotels outside the east gate. The light pollution here is relatively low, 2.7 on the astronomical map, meaning the Milky Way is clearly visible, and as long as there are no clouds, the stars are visible. See Figures 2 and 3, which I took with my iPhone. As for the B&B itself, overall, it was clean and comfortable beyond my expectations. The concrete room is where we live, and the two yurts are where we eat and chat. The rooms have electric heaters, which provide continuous heating throughout the night, and they also have electricity. Regarding the restrooms, which many women worry about, they are dry toilets, but they are concrete and very clean! P.S. If you choose a yurt, you'll definitely need dry toilets, so be prepared for that. Saihu can get very cold outside in autumn and winter, so bring plenty of clothes. The view from the B&B, facing Saihu and surrounded by snow-capped mountains on three sides (in autumn and winter), is absolutely stunning. The absence of clouds allowed for stunning starry skies, sunrises, and sunsets. The lamb we ordered was incredibly delicious, with no mutton smell and a very fragrant aroma! Breakfast and milk tea were also delicious! The B&B owners were incredibly warm and welcoming, with high emotional intelligence, talented dancers, and attentive to their guests. They made us feel safe and secure, making it a great place for women to stay! The owners even picked us up and dropped us off at the nearby shuttle bus stop. As for the pets, we currently have a cute kitten with a great personality. We encountered flocks of sheep, horses, and eagles along the way. Great! I'll be back next time, hahahahahaha!
