Homestays di Gansu, China

Before the trip, Xiao Tian chatted with us via WeChat to ensure we get our desired room and choice of dinner menu. She then created a group chat with other service members, to ensure that all our requests and needs prior and during the stay are met. The service was really great. We changed our airport transfer to a dropoff to another hotel in Dunhuang city. We were upgraded to a tent and the facility was great. Room was exactly as shown on Trip. Plenty of water was provided in the room, which was convenient. We were there during low season and there were only a few guests, and it felt like we had the entire desert to ourselves and it was great to walk around and take photos.

Our stay was wonderful. The place is very nice, beautiful and clean, the location is perfect with a view on the mountains and the family who lives there is very nice and kind, they take all the time necessary to help you. Thank you again for everything.

This hostel is the best stay for my trip. Everything ais good. The hotel is decorated with woods, so mostly all are wooden made. Very classy & super clean. Very friendly & helpful stuff. Have free cleaning services. The hostel just in front of the old town which at night u can walk around. Also very near the Fu Si Miao about 15 min walks. There are plenty of restaurant just outside the hostel. Good taste and not expensive too. All the below are within walking distances

the hotel is small, but the room is nice, in the old town & night market. There are many shops & restaurants around and a shopping mall is just cross the street. The only thing is the car can’t access directly to the front of the hotel near to walk to the major road. The receptionist is very friendly & helpful even-though she is only one to take care the whole tasks. We recommend the owner should hire 1 more staff to assist the front desk, so the check in will not consume lots of time & waiting.

這次敦煌之行最期待的就是沙漠露營，體驗完真的超出預期，必須實名好評！營地位置特別好，視野開闊，一眼望過去全是連綿的沙丘，壯闊又治癒，天然美景不用濾鏡就超級驚艷。 一到營地就被氛圍感拿捏住了，隨手一拍都是大片，拍照巨出片！沙漠、落日、帳篷、篝火、星空，隨便哪個角度都很好看，不管是拍氛圍感背影、日落剪影，還是沙漠大片，原片直出都超美，愛拍照的姐妹來這裏絕對能拍過癮。

來敦煌之前，最期待的就是鳴沙山的日落和沙漠星空。而宛安客棧真的成了旅途中超出預期的温暖存在。 客棧離鳴沙山月牙泉很近，步行可達。院子佈置得很有敦煌風情，木質桌椅、彩繪地磚、隨風輕響的駝鈴，晚上燈光亮起時特別有氛圍。房間乾淨寬敞，床品柔軟，洗漱用品齊全，窗外就能看到遠處的沙丘輪廓，睡覺非常安靜。老闆和店員都超級熱情！一到就幫忙提行李，還送上了冰鎮的杏皮水。耐心給我們講解東線西線怎麼玩、哪家胡羊燜餅正宗。最驚喜的是，晚上可以爬上客棧的天台看星星——老闆還提供了毯子和熱茶，躺在躺椅上仰望銀河，那一刻真的覺得宛安客棧的名字太貼切了。 客棧提供免費沙漠星空拍攝指導，還幫忙預約了第二天的沙漠露營。離開時，老闆娘塞了一袋自家曬的李廣杏幹，説“路上甜着走”。這些小細節，讓人真切感受到西北的豪爽與温柔。 如果你也打算來敦煌，真心推薦宛安客棧。不衹是睡一覺的地方，更像是在沙漠裏遇到的一位老朋友。下次來，還會住這裏。

The presentation and service was lovely. Each member of staff I associated with was so kind. Highly recommended this accomodation!! It is a little out of town but the walk in is a nice stroll and the sense of peace at the locationis well worth that walk in.

來敦煌鳴沙山旅行，入住那沙山民宿是整趟旅途最幸運的選擇，不管地理位置、居住環境還是店家服務，都遠超預期，真心推薦給所有來敦煌的遊客。民宿坐落在鳴沙山腳下，步行十分鐘就能直達景區大門，不用早起堵車、不用頂着烈日來回，清晨出門看沙漠日出，傍晚回小院靜賞落日餘暉，夜裡光污染極少，抬頭便是漫天璀璨銀河，沉浸式感受大漠風光，遠離市區喧囂，安靜又治癒。 院落是極具西北特色的夯土小院，打理得乾淨整潔，桌椅綠植錯落有致，傍晚坐在院裏吹風喝茶，氛圍感十足。客房空間寬敞通透，衞生細節做得無可挑剔，床品柔軟無沙塵，角落、衞浴都清掃到位。考慮到敦煌氣候乾燥，每間房都配備加濕器，獨立衞浴乾濕分離，熱水充足穩定，吹風機風力大，玩沙後的塵土能快速清理，遮光窗簾隔音效果好，遊玩一天後能踏踏實實睡個好覺。民宿配有自助洗衣烘乾區、免費停車場，自駕遊客寄存行李、清洗沙衣都十分方便，設施齊全貼心。 最打動我的是店家熱情真誠的服務，完全沒有商業化的疏離感。抵達時主動幫忙搬運行李，辦理入住高效快捷，還細心講解景區錯峯遊玩路線、小眾拍照點位，推薦本地人常去的特色餐館。入住期間有任何需求響應迅速，補充飲用水、借用物品隨叫隨到，待人温和耐心，閑暇時還會和客人閑聊當地風土人情，如同住在親友家中一般自在。 同等地段裏這家性價比很高，兼顧大漠風情與舒適居住體驗，情侶、家庭、結伴出行都適配。貼心的服務與絕佳的地理位置，為我的敦煌之行增添許多温暖，下次再來鳴沙山，依舊會首選那沙山民宿，也會把這間寶藏小院推薦給身邊出行的朋友。

One of my favourite stays in 6 months across China Communication before arrival was smooth via WeChat, and the staff proactively helped me plan a full itinerary for the region, all in English, which as a foreign solo traveller in China I truly appreciated. The hotel arranged a driver who picked me up directly at the train station gate and took me wherever I needed to go. I could adjust my plans at any time, and he was always there waiting or arrived right on schedule. The whole organzation was genuinely flexible and reliable. The location of the hotel is perfect, like less than 10 minutes walking from Danxia Park West Gate, so you can catch the 5:30 AM opening for sunrise at Platform 1 and go for sunset at Platform 3. The staff helped me to go to Binguo, Kangle Grassland, Alien Scenic Park, Pingshan Grand Canyon and Mati Temple. Over 5 days, I saw far more than I ever could have managed on my own, especially as this area is really remote and no didi is available. It is one of my favourite trips and stays from six months in China and I’ve seen quite a bit. Would come back without hesitation.

Great place! Very nice service. The owner, who is very friendly, speaks perfect English. Comfortable and clean rooms. Nice Chinese breakfast with possibility of occidental option. We had a nice dinner at the restaurant too. Concerning the location, it is perfect to visit the monastery as it is very close.
