Saibei Station (Kubuqi Desert Wokuotai Branch)

Веселое маленькое пребывание в пустыне. На краю пустыни, поэтому нужно забронировать поездку, чтобы отправиться дальше, но тем не менее расслабиться.

Me, my wife, and 3y/o daughter took a family trip to Saibei Inn for October Golden Week 2023, and the experience was great. We were not interested in the normal Inner Mongolia trips that some agencies offer since they are travel intensive, so we stayed for 5 days and 5 nights in this location. If you’re solo or couple travelers, you might want to consider a few less days and do the more intensive trips to the grasslands, etc. Having been to Inner Mongolia previously, we knew what to expect (slow pace/relaxing/nature), however, my expectations were exceeded with the amount of land and activities that Saibei Inn offered! We were able to take a RZR to the desert every morning and give our daughter and ourselves some play-time, plus relaxation, as the desert area is huge and never busy. We saw a wild camel, went sledding, and walked the endless dunes. A car is quite necessary and almost everyone had one, but since we didn’t have one, the boss personally brought us out to get snacks, drinks, and such to keep in our hotel, set up airport pickup and drop-off in Baotou, and took us on any excursions we wanted. The dune buggy sunset ride was a thrill and nearby desert camel rides, “flying boat”, and zip line were appealing attractions as well. The downside were the bathrooms were a bit difficult to navigate since they have a wet shower and take time to dry, plus the shower head was constantly leaking, leaving a wet puddle in the middle. The carpet held the sand and plant material which also contained thorns, so could use more regular vacuuming, The lunch/dinner food was exceptional. The veteran cooks there have a natural knack for cooking great Chinese food with unique tastes. The actual menu is quite small, but the boss was more than happy to take our order in advance and buy the food we wanted at the local market for the next day’s meal. They also can cook virtually anything you want and have a load of different things in the kitchen, which can be seen from the seating area via a viewing window spanning the length of the entire wall. It was apparent that their meats were cooked over a long period of time, including tender stew-style beef & potatoes, and of courses delicious mutton! The downside of the food was that you couldn’t get out of there without spending a pretty penny. And being the only restaurant within miles/kilometers, you don’t have much of a choice. Another aspect that could be improved is the breakfast. There was a choice of mantou bread, porridge, and boiled eggs. All with very little flavor or appeal. We opted not to eat breakfast 4 out of the 5 days. Opt for bringing some protein bars, yogurt, or packaged breakfast if you stay, especially with toddler. The facilities and environment were fairly well-kept. The Inn was also under construction, not loud or anything, but there is a plan to expand and its evident with a few areas that have rubble around and whatnot. Having said that we were not disturbed by that aspect because we were not there for a pampered and pristine vacation. We stayed in the white yurts on the hill with 2 beds, and overall, the room was cosy and great during the chilly October mornings (A/C has heat) and beds were comfortable.

Small and cosy. Friendly staff, offered exciting drive at sundown in the desert. Basic, clean accommodation.

everything is quite nice. we booked the biggest villa. totally, it has 5 bed rooms: two of them is the kang bed (6m long bed), two of 2-bed, one of king bed. overall, the villa is clean and nice. big enough to accommodate 10-15ppl. the service is very great, especially the head staff who helped us arrange dinner which we forget to prebook or took us to nearby desert. the staff also help set up the bonfire and movie for nice chill, which we really appreciate. the toilet is also clean. inside the villa, also have a pool, a bonfire, a tea room. still, the pool may not be that clean. and there may be some insects. it is also important to prebook the dinner or the menu will be limited. there is also not much alcohol choice, so better bring your own.

蒙古包很大，房型不同分為五個院落，傳統是在2號院，第一次來的話根據導航開就行很精準，就是進來以後別往裡扎，辦理入住在一進院右手邊，也就是一排龐巴迪對面，老闆姓萬，中年但不油膩，還有一個辦理入住的帥哥，青年才俊，兩位帥哥全程很親切，中間最大的包就是餐廳，早餐不用預訂，我覺得都不用去響沙灣，我是五一來的，先去的響沙灣，第二天深度體驗了一下這裏的項目，在這兒可以體驗全地形穿越、沙漠駱駝、滑沙，帶孩子能玩1-2天都不用出去，私人沙漠、乾淨還大，不用排隊不受罪！下次來還會選擇來此叨擾！

還行，房間挺大的，我定的五人間，看見鋪都震驚了，感覺能睡下七八個成年人。小房東很有禮貌姐長姐短的。注意下洗澡是熱水器，每次洗兩個人就差不多了，得等待燒水 離沙漠很近

衞生很乾凈，工作人員服務態度很好，院裏有衹狗子特別可愛，很親人，民宿周邊風景絕美，推薦大家來！餐廳做的美食很好吃，很有特色。

價格便宜，環境也不錯，吃飯方便，老闆服務態度也特別好，總的來説很滿意

先説總體評價：值得推薦給帶着寵物的，僅僅去看看沙漠，體驗沙漠的空曠孤寂感的人。 再細説下體驗： 從大路轉到鄉間小路時，一路穿過多個村莊，但都是玉米地，讓我感覺我可能被騙了。到了客棧，周邊一片的玉米地，感覺就是在農村的玉米地中間建了一個農家樂，心裏很失望。 後來問了工作人員，説沙漠在旁邊，要開車五六分鐘。 我就先花了180體驗一下沙漠賽車，順便看看沙漠的位置。結果讓我大呼來對了。沙漠賽車非常刺激，跟我一開始認為的那種賽車完全不同。師傅先帶我穿過一片樹林，飛速的穿梭，倍感害怕，一不小心就撞樹的那種感覺。在沙漠裏也是各種上下翻飛，順便説一下這個車的底盤和汽車完全不同，值得體驗。 傍晚，自己開車去了沙漠，一人一狗，在沙漠待到晚上，看星空，看月亮。整個一片沙漠都屬於我一個人！甚至第二天上午我又去沙漠待了兩個小時，才依依不捨的離開。在此期間，沒有任何的遊客。 不好的地方：吃的，食堂沒啥吃的，而且阿姨服務也不好，早上雞蛋都沒有了，還怪我來得晚。 帶狗去的，小心院子裏有一條大黑狗，我家的小狗就被它咬了一口，還是我離開酒店後才發現小狗身上有傷口，我可伶的小狗！
