若説特克斯八卦城藏着最詩意的西域棲居地，那一定是「西出故里民宿」。它不衹是落腳處，更是把伊犁河谷的風、哈薩克族的氈房記憶、絲路古道的浪漫，都揉進了庭院與窗欞裏。民宿位置優越，就在路邊，房間很大，老闆還給免費升級了房間，推開木門，庭院裏的鮮花盛開，手工鑿刻的木廊柱纏繞着葡萄藤，磚牆上的哈薩克族刺綉紋樣，是匠人一針一線綉出的草原圖騰。沒有過度的裝飾，卻處處見心意——老木匠修復的舊木桌、牧民手作的羊毛氈墊、窗台上擺放的伊犁土陶，每一件都帶着“故里”的温度，像走進了一位西域老友的家。客房更是把“舒適”與“風情”捏得恰到好處，全景落地窗將八卦城街景或遠山綠意框成畫，床品是親膚的棉麻材質，印着簡約的民族幾何紋；衞浴區配了恆温花灑，連洗漱用品都是本地品牌的草本配方。晨起時，陽光透過紗簾灑在地板上，耳畔是庭院裏的鳥鳴，恍惚間竟忘了是在民宿，還是在夢裡的西域故里，民宿還是寵物友好，唯一欠缺的就是民宿沒有自己停車場，要把車停在路邊，不過下次來八卦城還會選擇這裏。

Qiongku is truly beautiful. Although the journey is a bit challenging, I highly recommend experiencing it if you have two days or more. The Wusun Ancient Road and the back mountain are definitely worth visiting. Since it's a guesthouse, I can't be too demanding about the facilities. The bedding in the room is disposable, clean but not very comfortable. Toiletries are also disposable. There's not much storage space in the room; I think adding a bench for storing things or sitting while changing shoes would be helpful. With lots of luggage, it felt cramped, and you could basically only lie on the bed. I communicated with the owner beforehand that I wanted a room with a beautiful view, but upon arrival, I found it was high up in the mountains, requiring a long climb up stairs. They can arrange for luggage to be delivered to the room and to the parking lot, but since I always feel bad troubling the owner when traveling alone, I had to grit my teeth and climb the stairs. I suggest that those who don't like climbing stairs tell the owner in advance and choose a room closer to the front desk. The staff at the guesthouse are very helpful. You can ask them any travel-related questions. The noodles for breakfast were delicious, and I also tried the Guizhou-style hot pot, which was quite good. Qiongku Shitai is absolutely stunning!

Hidden in the forest starry place of Qiongkushitai, push the window to see the forest sea snow mountain, the evening wind accompanied the pine Tao, look up full of stars, the mountains are gentle and stable. The most satisfying homestay along the way! The location is great. At the starting point of Wusun Ancient Road, the scenery is wide, the forest creek is right next to it, and there is a little cat called Laifu. Come to Joan Kushtai, choose this one! Every shot is a wallpaper-level scenery, the healing feeling is full, just after leaving for a while, I have already started to miss this mountain forest and the starry sky. 💫

We are newcomers to Northern Xinjiang for the first time. I originally booked this B&B because I was going to Kalajun Grassland (top 3 scenery in Ili). Unexpectedly, I accidentally bumped into Qiongkush Terrace, which ranks top 2 in Ili scenery. This B&B is on the top of a mountain. It has an excellent location. The scenery outside the window is so beautiful. Please see the accompanying picture, no photoshop. You are very close to the stars at night, and you can watch the sun rise from Tianshan Mountain in the morning! And there is also this so-called internet celebrity swing (we didn’t know about it until we arrived). It is estimated that many people go to the swing in the back mountain because of a few big Vs, but the real thing is here! The house is clean and warm. The boss is very enthusiastic and down-to-earth. To get here, you need to walk a mountainous road with many twists and turns. Remember to fill up your tank before going up the mountain. This is what the boss told us. So we arrived very late, and the boss was waiting all the time and cooked delicious food for us! The biggest surprise was going to the Wusun Ancient Trail! ! We gave up on Karajun directly. The rainforest on the Wusun Ancient Trail is simply an instant kill for Kalajun. No tickets yet. It is recommended to enter on horseback, but you can of course go on foot. If you are riding a horse, it is recommended to find a local kid friend. They will not only tell you a lot of local life stories. They also take various photos for you, which is of great emotional value!

When you come to Xinjiang, you must live in this ethnically characteristic boudoir homestay, which completely exceeds expectations! As soon as I entered the room, I was attracted by the big cockroach that was 5 meters long. It was super spacious, our family was rolling and playing on it, and the mattress was just right. The layout of the room is full of ethnic characteristics, and every detail shows a unique charm. Stay here next time you come to Xinjiang!

Advantages: The room was decorated with a great atmosphere, and the guesthouse was perfect for taking photos; it's clear that some thought was put into the design. There's even a swing on the small hillside, so you don't have to go to crowded Instagrammable spots. The guesthouse was also well soundproofed, with almost no noise. Areas for improvement: 1. No one proactively cleaned the room for two consecutive nights, including removing trash, possibly due to staff shortages. 2. There were some unwashed stains on the sheets, so they didn't look very clean. 3. There was no bottled water in the room; the owner provided two bottles later, but they weren't replenished the next day. 4. On the last day, we planned to eat at the restaurant, but were only informed at the last minute that the chef was unavailable. The breakfast was also mediocre; frankly, even for men, it wasn't very filling. Since it's priced like a five-star hotel, it's recommended to try to provide five-star service, such as providing more bottles of water. Clean the rooms regularly, or inform guests in advance to lower their expectations. After all, the price isn't much different from other five-star hotels I've stayed in. Also, the window view was beautiful, but the windows need cleaning.

The facilities were surprisingly good! Before heading up the mountain, I looked at many hotels, most of which were slightly upscale and cost over 2,000 yuan. I was a bit hesitant to choose this one because of its low ratings and price, especially considering it had a bathtub and shower. Upon arrival, I was surprised to find a large courtyard with parking, a rare find in the mountains. There were also lambs in the courtyard, perfect for taking photos and petting! The cats and dogs were also adorable! Chatting with the owner, I learned it was a newly opened hotel and hadn't been busy advertising, hence its relative obscurity. The bedding was incredibly soft and clean, making me feel very comfortable. The room wasn't very well ventilated; perhaps the downside of large windows is that they can't be opened directly. However, the owner suggested we open the door for ventilation, which was nice. Sitting on the platform under the corridor, drinking tea and chatting, was truly blissful… As for food, there was a Han Chinese restaurant right outside. We ate there the first night, and the next morning we ate with the restaurant owner, realizing how silly we were the first time! The meal with the owner was both inexpensive and delicious! (However, the owner mentioned that they don't usually take people to share meals; they only do so occasionally when there are fewer customers, which is quite rare.) The fact that they didn't charge exorbitant prices despite being in the mountains made us feel that the owner is a very honest and conscientious person. She's truly a woman who doesn't seem to be focused on making money but has a lot of passion and a love for life! She also mentioned that if business is good in the future, she'll add a movie viewing area and a terrace for coffee and tea—we can't wait! (*^o^*) Another thing that really warmed our hearts was that everyone from the volunteers to the owner was a very young and kind woman. It felt like a very women-friendly place. We were quite worried since it was our first time in the mountains of Xinjiang, but we unexpectedly met some very helpful and compatible fellow travelers. On our first day, they were very welcoming and attentive in helping us with our luggage. On the second day, the owner even found a horseman she knew to help us find horses to ride and introduced us to the scenic routes. It was a wonderful experience! The stars in Qiongkushitai are incredibly bright at night. It rained a bit on the first afternoon, and I thought I wouldn't be able to see its beauty, but a rainbow appeared! The Milky Way was still dazzling at night, which was truly amazing. I feel like you can visit Qiongkushitai with your eyes closed. This hotel has made me love Xinjiang even more! I highly recommend everyone to stay here. I really hope to see it even better next time I visit!

My stay at Qiongkushitai Stargazing had its pros and cons. On the positive side, the room's bed was equipped with heating, which was incredibly useful given the cold local weather. I was able to sleep quite comfortably at night and get some good rest. The guesthouse also had many adorable and lively small animals, including lambs, bunnies, and chickens. However, there were a few issues with the bathroom facilities. Firstly, the bathroom temperature was quite low, lacking sufficient heating, making showers feel very cold. Secondly, the hot water supply was inconsistent, fluctuating between hot and cold, making it difficult to adjust to a comfortable temperature. In the mornings, hot water was almost unusable, causing significant inconvenience for washing. Additionally, the bathroom drainage system needs improvement. The drain was slow, leading to severe water accumulation during showers, which affected the user experience and posed a potential safety hazard. Overall, the guesthouse service was excellent. They provided afternoon tea and a sweet soup before bed. The guesthouse manager also promptly came to help resolve the bathroom issues.

Wenzhou International Hotel is of guaranteed quality and has very good service. The rooms all have small refrigerators and are fairly clean. But this time, probably because of the Eid al-Adha, the customer service was not very good. I stayed for two nights in a row. I told the waiter to change towels and toiletries in the morning, but when I returned to the hotel at noon the next day, the room was not cleaned. I called the front desk and continued my trip. When I returned to the room in the early hours of the night, it was still not changed. After I told the front desk again, it took 20 minutes to change it.

The room was clean and tidy, the customer service was very good, and we asked for extra quilts, which was promptly answered. It is a recommended accommodation, and the room also has air conditioning. The only pity is that we checked in very late that night, and we didn't have a good time to explore the Bagua City in Tekes. We had planned to stay the next day, but it seemed like it would rain after looking at the weather forecast, so we changed our itinerary temporarily.
