Take the dog to travel to Qinghai Lake ~ Find a place to stay with the dog!

When we decided to take MAX to Dunhuang and Qinghai Lake, the most uncertain thing was accommodation. Of course, that's when we didn't expect how dangerous the national road conditions were.

Before departure, I began to book hotels in Xi 'an, Lanzhou, Dunhuang, Xining and Qinghai Lake through Ctrip. I also thought that I had learned about the accommodation sharing of "Iron Egg Mom" earlier, avoided the central city, and basically took leisure or family hotels along the way, but still with the idea of giving it a try, I asked Ctrip to help me book a five-star hotel. After asking about the room, tell us I have a pet. Ctrip said it needs to communicate with the hotel. Then we fantasized about booking a four-star or five-star hotel. We looked at similar resorts or non-high-rise hotels online according to the pictures and told each other that we had brought pets. They asked how old they were. We said it was a sled dog, and they said it was quite big. We explained that dogs won't affect other guests and won't damage things in the room. Hearing this, several families said that they had to ask their leaders before replying, but most of them said that there were regulations against keeping pets. Only Tian Fei Hotel in Dunhuang accepted it. It should be Samsung's. After being rejected n times, we stopped trying to make a reservation in the central city, thinking that Samsung would not make a reservation, so we found it temporarily. But I thought we should first determine the accommodation for the first and second days of junior high school. After the disillusionment of staying in four or five-star hotels, I made a reservation through the budget hotel network, and finally booked a youth hostel in Luoyang and Lanzhou, where they could accept pets. I can finally rest assured. My feeling at the moment, traveling with MAX, is estimated to greatly save accommodation costs, and of course the accommodation conditions will be correspondingly worse!

Luoyang Youth Hostel

[first day]

When I went to Luoyang Youth Travel Service in the evening, Mr. Wang asked me to communicate with the front desk first, and then look at the room. If it's really bad, I won't check in. I'll look for it for the time being The hotel is on the third floor. When I saw the room, my first impression was that it was OK. In any case, the bathroom is independent, air-conditioned and quite tidy. Everything is fine except asking the waiter to open the door for me. I think I'd better stay first. We brought our own moistureproof mat and a mat for MAX to sleep in, which is also his nest. But it may be the first time to stay in a hotel outside, which is quite annoying. According to the procedure at home, we ate and pulled it up and slept in the room, but in the early morning, he was still breathing. If we have to pee, we want to take him downstairs, but the door of the corridor is locked. This is the first time we have seen him. Oh, Max walked around doing nothing.

Longde Hotel (County Government Rest House)

[The next day]

I didn't arrive in Lanzhou as scheduled because of the bad road conditions in Shaanxi and Gansu. I got off Liupanshan in the evening and stayed in Longde County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. It's already past nine in the evening. According to Iron Egg Mom's experience, after a tour of the county, we set the target at the county government guest house. When we get off the bus, ask the students who are exercising by the roadside. What is a good hotel in your county? They said it was the Lund Hotel. I continue to confirm that your family is here. Do relatives or friends live there? They said, "All our wedding banquets are there. Oh! I thanked them at ease, booked Lund Hotel on GPS, and found it soon. At first glance, it really came true. This hotel is a county government guest house. Thank you very much for sharing it with Iron Egg Mom! Of course, I got off to communicate with the front desk, looked at the room type and price, and directly asked for the best suite. I wonder if it is more sincere. Fortunately, there is another room. In order to let us stay, I said we should pay 100 yuan more. If there is any damage, we will compensate. After the waitress came out to see MAX, she agreed to us very considerate. After thanking the two receptionists, we came to the room, which was really good. There are all kinds of Four Treasures of the Study in the living room, and many calligraphy and paintings are hung in the room. Except the hot water kettle can't be used, everything else is basically worth the money. Looking at the room, it seems that I have regained some feelings of traveling to four-star hotels in the past, and I feel comfortable and stable in my heart. And the room we live in is an independent VIP building, with a garden in front and the second floor, which is convenient to get in and out and nobody is there. The feeling of this night is far better than that of Luoyang Youth Travel Service. That night, Max seemed very satisfied with this spacious and comfortable residence. Because it is a carpet, there is no need for a damp-proof mat, so he laid a mat. MAX sleeps till dawn, is very cooperative, very sensible and has a good habit of going out! When we left Lund Hotel early in the morning, everything was safe and sound, and we were comforted by MAX! Of course, I am grateful that the hotel can accept us!

Ta 'er Temple Zongka Hotel

[Day 3]

Considering the road conditions in Gansu, we changed our plan and went directly to Ta 'er Temple in Qinghai instead of Dunhuang. I used wireless internet access in the car all the way, trying to book a room through the internet, but I couldn't find a local hotel. Moreover, according to the tourism records of Qinghai, the county government in Huangzhong County is not in Ta 'er Temple, so it is impossible to find the county government guest house. After careful consideration, it is better to use the place names in the county as the hotel names, such as Lund Hotel and Kunshan Hotel. I tried to ask 1 14 to help me find a hotel called "Ta 'er Temple", but one good turn deserves another. We found two hotels on the list and chose Zongka Hotel near Ta 'er Temple. When we called, the hotel was there. The other party agreed without hesitation, which made me a little worried about his scale and service. Then I asked you what the star rating was. He said we didn't have a star rating, and we were a foreign hotel, but we were a little confused. However, in the absence of other better options, let me keep the room. He doesn't have a suite. I booked a Chinese standard room, and they also have Tibetan rooms for foreigners. When we arrived near the Ta 'er Temple, we couldn't find it, but after calling, the hotel staff warmly came to meet us. When I arrived at the hotel, something was wrong. I have my own yard for parking, which is quite large in the local area. There are also restaurants, where Chinese and foreign guests dine quite a lot, and the interior decoration is not bad, with Tibetan style. Pay attention to the details when you go upstairs, but it is a little different from Lund, but I think it is already in Qinghai, and it is not the seat of the county government. I am very grateful to have such a condition, and tell myself to accept it gladly! The room is on the second floor, and it is also carpeted. Pretty clean. A square outside the window is the main entrance of Ta 'er Temple. What I am most satisfied with in Zongka Hotel is the service and catering. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are very good, and breakfast is rich in variety. The taste of the dishes for lunch and dinner is also less salt and less oil according to our requirements, and we can order half a meal. It's really good. The front desk of Zongka Hotel knew that I needed medicine the night I arrived, and they took out the medicine for us. I really appreciate them. Max is getting more and more into the state, and everything goes according to the procedure. After dinner, he went downstairs and pulled up. Because the road was difficult, he went upstairs to sleep. At about eleven o'clock in the evening, I took him downstairs to pee and slept until dawn. MAX's cooperation in entering and leaving the hotel impressed us very much! His disciplined performance shows that the habits we have developed at home are quite good, and it can also let people know that we are civilized dog owners.
