MunanxiziIf you find a place like this, you should definitely stay an extra night. It's so quiet and beautiful! You can easily spend an afternoon sitting at the front desk enjoying the view and drinking coffee. It's a great place to relax. The food is okay, the room is okay, everything is just right.

Guest UserThe window is picturesque, and the friend calls this where it is! The small forest next to it can go to the adventure through the creek. It takes ten minutes to drive to the back mountain parking lot. The breakfast is delicious, the fruit plate is rich, and the service is timely and meticulous. It’s right to live here when you come to Joan Kushtai!

Super cool! ! It can be said that it is the best homestay in Qiongkushitai, and the best homestay I have ever stayed in Xinjiang. As soon as the mountain view room is opened, it is the scenery of the grassland and the snow-capped mountains. There are also famous costumes in the store to take pictures. When we came, it was off-season. There was nothing to eat. Auntie personally cooked for me. The next day we wanted to go horse riding, the housekeeper called the horseman directly to the hotel, and the price was very reasonable. We just snowed when we rode to the ancient road, which was very romantic! Be sure to come again next spring!

BianjingmuyangmaoThis is a newly opened guesthouse this year, run by young people who have traveled extensively. The guesthouse is on land rented from a local Kazakh herder's family, and renovated. Therefore, it's like living right next door to the herder's family, truly integrated into the local ecosystem [amazing!].
The guesthouse isn't in the village itself, but on the road leading to the back of the mountain (not sure if that's accurate). You need to contact the owner and the village committee to get there by car. The entire guesthouse sits on a wide hillside, with views of distant mountains on the back, left, and right sides, and a small valley in front, flanked by small forests. Overall, the location is excellent.
The guesthouse includes public areas and guest rooms, all exactly as pictured in the official photos, so I won't repeat them. The guest rooms are decorated in a simple style, not luxurious or flashy, and not specifically designed to reflect ethnic minority styles. Overall, it's quite comfortable, blending seamlessly with the natural scenery outside the balcony. From the balcony, you can see lush green mountains; sipping tea while listening to birdsong is a wonderful experience, whether you're on your phone or not. One of the birds hit the glass and was stunned. I revived it and fed it before it flew away.
The common area is quite cozy. Although not large, the owner has purchased many traditional ethnic items, creating a charming ambiance. There's a cat, a dog, and two sheep in the common area, which are very popular with children.
The guesthouse is generally clean, and the absence of mosquitoes is a major plus. However, being located on the grassland and close to the herders' area, you can still see a few flies, spiders, and other small insects, but in very limited numbers. Electric mosquito swatters are provided in the rooms.
In addition, there are daily interactive activities with the Kazakh host family. These include milking cows, making butter, making naan, feeding lambs, visiting yurts, singing and dancing, etc., which are very interesting, and I recommend everyone participate.
Regarding dining, we ate all three meals at the guesthouse. It's difficult to find other places outside, and it's time-consuming. To be honest, the price is on the higher side, but we were mentally prepared beforehand and didn't try to save money. In terms of food, the chef is from Yunnan, and the cured pork rib hot pot and rice noodles were quite good and worth recommending; however, the local chicken and beef ball hot pot on the first day was rather mediocre, which might just be a matter of personal taste.
The most meaningful activity in Qiongkushitai is horseback riding, which is absolutely not to be missed. The Kazakh host provides horseback riding services, which is convenient and saves you from having to find a horse team in the village. Surprisingly, however, they didn't offer any discounts to guests, and the total cost for several rides was close to 1800 yuan.
At night, you can see the dazzling Milky Way from the balcony or courtyard—it's truly breathtaking, no exaggeration. Unfortunately, I didn't have good photography skills.
Overall, I highly recommend this guesthouse. I suggest staying for at least two or three days.

JinjiangJimJohnThis hotel was, without a doubt, the most satisfying one on our Xinjiang trip! Generally, service attitude and quality in the North aren't as good as in the South, but this hotel is absolutely an exception. When there was availability, they not only proactively upgraded our room type but also, seeing we had a child, brought us a set of children's toiletries. Every day, we received welcome fruit, and they helped with luggage. The owner even helped us buy cold medicine, and when we went out for sightseeing, they'd provide water and snacks... The service truly is more attentive than many five-star hotels. Highly recommend!

Anonymous UserThe guesthouse is located on a hillside about 10 kilometers from Bagua City. The road up the mountain is winding and beautiful, seemingly leading to the horizon; we even saw a white horse! Standing on the hillside, you can overlook the entire Bagua City.
The guesthouse has a European manor feel, full of design flair. The courtyard is beautifully arranged, and the rooms are spotless. The bedding is comfortable, and the bathroom is tidy, making for a comfortable stay.
The air is exceptionally fresh, especially at night when it's cool and quiet. I slept soundly until 11 am, thinking I wouldn't have breakfast, but the owner thoughtfully saved some for me—so considerate! The breakfast was plentiful and delicious; I ate my fill. It was definitely worth it! I'll stay here again next time.

Guest UserWhat a pleasant surprise this B&B was! The environment is lovely, and the view is absolutely stunning. It's so comfortable here that you don't even need to leave to have a great time.
The B&B's facilities are top-notch, with smart toilets, 24-hour hot water, and even a washing machine!
The most amazing thing is that you can fly a drone here to get a panoramic view of Bagua City.
The hostess is elegant and gracious.

Qiong Kushtai is located in Yili, Xinjiang, the entrance to Wusun Ancient Road. My colleagues and I entered Qiong Kushtai in winter to explore and take these photos. Staying at the homestay is very comfortable, the boss is very enthusiastic, everything you need for life is considered for you, and there is a free delicious breakfast, which is also great
