Coco Tuohai Muxuyuan Homestay Reviews

We randomly picked this hotel from a few highly-rated ones, and it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. The hotel is right by the Irtysh River; open the window and you're greeted with valley views and starry nights. Both the interior and exterior design are full of character, the rooms are spacious and bright, and everything is spotlessly clean. I especially loved the animals – Lucy the sheepdog is gentle and smart, and the Ragdoll cat, I think her name is Tangdou (Candy Bean)? She's so clingy and loves to cuddle. The little chickens with their short legs scurrying around, and three little lambs frolicking among the grass and flowers. They were all so cute and adorable. The service was also incredibly thoughtful. Haixia was super enthusiastic and even helped us take many beautiful photos. The 'golden mountain' illuminated by the setting sun in the evening was absolutely stunning. Breakfast was also abundant, and what truly sets it apart from most hotels' pre-made fare are their freshly wrapped buns, freshly ground soy milk, tomato noodle soup, and pickled radishes. Every hot dish was prepared with care, giving you a taste of home. All in all, I sincerely recommend Keketohai Muyiyuan to anyone visiting Keketohai – it's truly worth experiencing! I'd also like to share some thoughts from this trip, hoping everyone understands what to see, what to do, and why at Keketohai. From the viewing platform of Keketohai No. 3 Mine Pit, the wind blows through the folds of the Altai Mountains, and the spiraling giant pit silently gazes up at the sky. Unlike previous visits, the mine pit is now open for entry, offering a more direct experience of this miraculous land and the hardships faced by the revolutionaries of that era. In this 'Mine 111,' a designation without a name, miners toiled in temperatures as low as -40℃, swinging hammers underground, hungry, and relying on their shoulders and hands to extract beryllium, lithium, tantalum, niobium, and cesium from the rocks, bit by bit. The beryllium for China's first atomic bomb, the lithium for its first hydrogen bomb, the cesium for 'Dongfanghong-1,' and the tantalum and niobium for nuclear submarines all originated here. In the 1960s, facing extreme pressure from the Soviet Union, and to take control of China's destiny, we resolutely decided to repay all 'debts,' including military aid from the Korean War and construction support during the Sino-Soviet honeymoon period. This meritorious mine's rare metals helped new China repay 47% of its foreign debt to the Soviet Union. Many people first heard the name 'Keketohai' because of 'The Shepherd of Keketohai,' but only by standing at the edge of the pit do you realize that Keketohai is not just a backdrop for a love story; it's the foundation of a great nation's dignity. So, I sincerely urge everyone: when you come to Xinjiang, don't just allocate your itinerary to Kanas and Sayram Lake. Dedicate half a day to Keketohai. Let the specimens of beryl, spodumene, and tantalite-niobite tell you a piece of history; let the yellowed work permits and rusted machinery transport you back in time; let the spiraling mine tunnels help you feel the power of patriotism and the spirit of dedication. This land and the nameless heroes who toiled here deserve the respect of every Chinese person. Let us receive a spiritual baptism on this old '111' seal, then stand tall and walk forward with determination 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳!
