Pet Friendly Hotels in Tekes County

If Tekes Bagua City hides the most poetic retreat in the Western Regions, it must be ”Xichu Guli Homestay.” It's more than just a place to stay; it blends the winds of the Ili River Valley, the memories of Kazakh yurts, and the romance of the ancient Silk Road into its courtyards and windows. The homestay boasts a prime location right by the roadside. The rooms are spacious, and the owner even upgraded us for free. Pushing open the wooden door reveals a courtyard bursting with flowers, hand-carved wooden pillars entwined with grapevines, and Kazakh embroidery patterns on the brick walls—grassland totems meticulously embroidered by artisans. There's no excessive decoration, yet every detail reveals thoughtful touches—an old wooden table restored by a carpenter, a wool felt mat handmade by a herdsman, and Ili pottery displayed on the windowsill—each piece carries the warmth of ”home,” making you feel like you've stepped into the home of an old friend from the Western Regions. The guest rooms strike a perfect balance between comfort and charm. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of the Bagua City streetscape or distant green mountains, while the bedding is made of soft cotton and linen with simple ethnic geometric patterns. The bathroom features a thermostatic shower, and even the toiletries are local herbal brands. In the morning, sunlight filters through the sheer curtains onto the floor, and birdsong fills the courtyard. For a moment, you forget you're in a guesthouse, or perhaps in a dreamlike Western Region. The guesthouse is pet-friendly, but the only drawback is the lack of its own parking lot; you have to park on the street. However, I would definitely choose this place again next time I visit Bagua City.

This guesthouse was a delightful surprise! It's located near the main street, surrounded by ethnic-themed streets. It's a small courtyard with a strong ethnic flavor. The owner was very welcoming, offering us watermelon and even making a special breakfast in the morning. The courtyard was full of flowers; I wished I could stay in my own home. The location is convenient, right next to the main street, which is a lot of fun. We watched a performance and strolled around the area. The Tai Chi Platform in the center of the Bagua City is also not far away.

The hotel is very close to the Kalajun entrance, about a 5-kilometer drive. Follow the navigation; the gravel road is narrow but don't hesitate. The moment you see the room, all your fatigue will melt away. The shower room and separate wet/dry bathroom are clean and hygienic, completely free from the inconveniences of staying in a tent camp. Lying on the bed, pull open the 360-degree curtains, and the surrounding scenery fills your view. Open the electric curtain on the dome, and you can see the sky. If you still have energy, before sunset, go for a one or two-hour horseback ride to enjoy the grassland sunset—it's incredibly pleasant. The hotel's service is very thoughtful and meticulous, and it has its own restaurant where you can order dinner, which tastes pretty good. Breakfast is a buffet and quite rich. The highlight, though, is the starry sky after dusk, which truly cures everything. To avoid light pollution, the hotel thoughtfully turns off the ambient lights. In the morning, open the curtains and you can watch the sunrise. This is a hotel that constantly provides pleasant surprises.

The guesthouse was very easy to find; a long mural on the signboard was quite eye-catching. I had a pleasant chat with the owner upon arrival. The owner was from Urumqi, and we had a very pleasant conversation; he was also very welcoming. I felt right at home. Breakfast was prepared by the owner's family, and it was delicious and reassuring to eat.

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!

Choosing Wuyin Zhidi for our trip to Kalajun was absolutely the right decision! The hotel is super close to the East Gate of Kalajun Scenic Area, just a ten-minute drive. Our butler, Xiao Ba, wasn't just handsome, but also incredibly thoughtful and attentive. He was always responsive to our needs and gave us great tips on the best places to visit and the most beautiful scenic spots – he was really, really nice! As for the hotel room, it was very clean, spacious, and had an amazing view. They even treated us to a wonderful, extensive afternoon tea with incredibly sweet fruit. This place is definitely worth it! Highly, highly recommend!!!

Eight people booked the entire courtyard, which the elders loved; it brought back many memories. The owner, a cadre who had worked in Xinjiang as part of an aid program, was very welcoming and willing to chat about local history and culture. There were also two four-seater bicycles available for guests to ride for free. Thank you so much!

Facilities: The room was thoughtfully equipped, featuring a Dyson hairdryer with a gentle yet powerful airflow, and a Smeg kettle that was both safe and convenient to use. All the facilities in the room were well-maintained, and the hot water supply was stable and plentiful, making daily life very convenient for the whole family. Cleanliness: Our family drove to Qiongkushitai and booked this guesthouse on a whim without much planning. We originally planned to stay only one night, but because of our excellent experience, we extended our stay for another day. The entire room was exceptionally clean, with every nook and cranny wiped spotless. The bedding was neat and dry, and the bathroom was tidy and odor-free. Such cleanliness in the deep mountains far exceeded my expectations. Household Service: The staff were friendly and helpful, and very attentive. Wusun Qiying Camp - Dried and Fresh Fruit Platter: We also received a complimentary afternoon tea with a charming mountain atmosphere. There was even a photographer on-site to help us take photos for social media, creating a wonderful ambiance. Service: Overall, the stay was comfortable and pleasant, and the whole family was extremely satisfied. We will definitely choose this place again next time we come to Qiongkushitai. We sincerely recommend it to tourists.

The property was really spacious and comfortable. It was located near the city centre and made for convenient access to other parts of town. We had our own little courtyard/garden that was really nice to relax in too! The staff, especially 海梅, was really thoughtful when attending to us, providing us with directions and helping us fix some issues we faced with the wifi. Overall, I really recommend 离宫别院to anyone visiting Tekesi!

Miss Mira at the front desk has a good service attitude. We came here in the middle of the night. She also smiled. The attitude is really a plus. After the tiger is opened, this is the most comfortable time.
