Mountain View Hotels in Tekes County

The house exceeded my expectations by a lot!! What a pleasant surprise! I never imagined there would be such a luxuriously decorated guesthouse in the mountains! The air conditioning made the room super warm! It had a separate wet and dry area! Super clean! Great for photos! My family was very satisfied! Most importantly, the view was amazing! Absolutely no obstructions in front! A direct view of the snow-capped mountains! The lamb hot pot in the evening was also delicious! The owner is from Sichuan! The spicy lamb hot pot is absolutely amazing! Highly recommended!

The guesthouse itself boasts beautiful scenery; sitting at the entrance and daydreaming was very relaxing. The staff were all very warm and friendly, providing a hearty and delicious breakfast, and they even cut us cantaloupe and watermelon. The rooms weren't large, but they had everything we needed, and the cleanliness was quite good. Mountain accommodations certainly can't compare to those in the city, but for the price, it's excellent. The traditional wooden cabins weren't very soundproof, but with the heating on, it was very cozy, and I slept soundly after a long day. Qiongkushitai is definitely worth a visit!

What a hidden gem of a hotel! We arrived at 11 PM and called ahead to order dinner from the hotel restaurant. The lamb hotpot was absolutely incredible – seriously, so, so good. The service was outstanding and so welcoming. The staff helped with all our luggage; even if I walked past with just a backpack, someone would immediately offer to carry it. The coffee at breakfast was also the best I'd had in all my days in Xinjiang. Beyond the beautiful environment, the hotel also offers horse riding (for a fee) and archery (free). We stayed at the hotel until well after noon before checking out, which was incredibly relaxing. We initially thought it would be a two-hour drive to Kokesu, but a staff member told us about an entrance that was only a 20-minute drive away. That was a huge help, truly. All in all, everything was perfect. We didn't get to see the stars because it rained that night, but we had no regrets at all because this hotel is just phenomenal. Oh, and the hotel also has fast charging stations for electric cars!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!!!

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.

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.
