Kuqa 123 Youth Hostel is situated in the historically rich core of Kuqa Old Town and is one of the very few well-preserved typical Uyghur Ayiwang style dwellings in the area. We perfectly blend the essence of traditional ethnic architecture with modern minimalist design, offering two types of distinctive guest rooms, both ethnic-style Ayiwang themed rooms and comfortable, convenient modern minimalist rooms. In the courtyard, grape trellises sway, the garden is tranquil, and the terrace is spacious, allowing you to enjoy a rare moment of peace and comfort during your busy journey.
The hostel has an excellent location, within walking distance to Qiuci Alleys, Kuqa Royal Palace, Kuqa Grand Mosque, and Kuqa International Grand Bazaar. The surroundings are dotted with historical sites such as the Kizilgaha Beacon Tower, Subashi Ruins, the legendary Kingdom of Women, and Qiuci Museum. Step outside and you will find a local bazaar, or market, a night market, and a pedestrian street. You can experience the authentic local street life up close and conveniently purchase genuine Kuqa giant naan, which can be shipped, and exquisite Atlas silk clothing.
The hostel provides a free parking lot, making it ideal for self-driving travelers. It has convenient access to Kuqa Railway Station and Qiuci Airport, serving as an ideal transit hub for exploring southern Xinjiang. From here, you can easily start day trips to classic attractions such as the Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon, the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves, Flaming Spring, and Demon City.
The neighborhood is a gathering place for delicious food, allowing you to savor authentic Xinjiang flavors to your heart's content. Dapanji, numbing and spicy chicken, spicy chicken, Gangzi meat, Laghman, Polo, Samsa, Bo Pi Baozi and many more are all readily available. The hostel is equipped with a communal kitchen, a laundry room, and a coffee machine, with complete facilities and a cozy, home-like atmosphere.

「このコテージはとても快適で、スタッフの方がいらっしゃいましたが、皆さん親切で気さくな方ばかりで、全く気兼ねなく過ごせました。時間が許せば、あと数日滞在したかったです。Ctrip(シートリップ)で午後5時のレイトチェックアウトを提供してくれたのも良かったです。残念だったのは、屋上からの景色を見に行くのを忘れてしまったこと。全体的には、価格を考えれば文句なしです。ただ、欠点としては、男女兼用のトイレとシャワールームが一緒になっていて、あまり美しくはありませんが、幸いにも誰とも会うことはありませんでした。あと、室内とキッチンは毎日清掃されていませんでしたが、特に問題はなく、全体的に居心地の良いコテージでした。」
