Xining Ruifeng Homestay · Winter Special Forces Guide for College Students

College student special forces, assemble! For winter travel in Qinghai, stay at this homestay and win big on your blue ice and snow mountain trip! · Ruifeng Homestay (Xining Railway Station Branch) Transportation Hub Jackpot! Unlock plateau winter scenery without detours Right outside is Xining Railway Station! A 5-minute walk to the bus hub, take a direct line to Ta'er Monastery to see the three wonders of butter sculptures, or hop on a tourist bus straight to Gangshika Snow Peak to challenge your "first snow mountain"—super convenient. Heading toward the city leads to the warm winter food market in Chengdong, where you can easily show off freshly made Qinghai native hot pot and soft milk skin snacks. Save your transportation money and spend it on your stomach—doesn't that sound great? Service hits the student crowd! Instantly recharge after trekking the snow mountain Free luggage storage—arrive early without lugging your bags while waiting for your room, and store your ski gear with peace of mind! Rooms are warm and super comforting, with thick, skin-friendly bedding. After hiking 20,000 steps at Gangshika and falling eight times on the slopes, dive right in and fully recharge! Spotlessly clean, plenty of hot water, and strong heating—taking a hot shower to shake off the cold is a hundred times more comfortable than huddling in a down jacket at the station. Winter Special Forces Exclusive Tips 1. Book early! Winter travel in Qinghai is very popular, especially on snowy weekends—if you’re slow, you’ll end up sleeping at the station! 2. Use the luggage storage! Go shoot blue ice at Qinghai Lake and chase sunsets at Emerald Lake. 3. Don’t stay in late at night! The Chengdong night market near the homestay stays warmly lit until dawn. Have a bowl of lamb offal soup with fried dough sticks—it warms you right down to your toes. Stay here, spend your time on sightseeing, blue ice, and delicious food, and save your energy for every winter celebration! Just go for it!
