Life advice: When visiting Qiongkushitai in Xinjiang, you must stay in the Back Mountain

Summer in Xinjiang is an earthly paradise☁️ But don’t just go to Nalati and Kalajun anymore❗ Qiongkushitai, this hidden village, is truly a treasure❗ Surrounded by snowy mountains🏔️, streams flowing through forests💧, and scattered wooden houses🛖, it looks like you’ve stepped into a secluded Zelda world! The Back Mountain is the soul of Qiongkushitai‼️ Standing at the peak among the clouds, you see endless meadows and snowy mountains, every shot is wallpaper-worthy📸 Although the bumpy dirt road up the mountain takes about ten minutes🚙💨, when the stunning golden sunset🌄 and breathtaking Milky Way starry sky✨ appear🌌 You’ll only shout: Worth it❗❗❗🤩 Back Mountain accommodation recommendation · Xiyunjian This time I stayed deep in the Back Mountain at "Qiongkushitai Xiyunjian Homestay," a divine experience— ✅ Exclusive flower sea and swing: Step out the door into a private flower sea, enjoy your own swing, swinging towards the snowy mountain meadows at dusk; ✅ Stream tracing and forest exploration: Walk straight down from the homestay to the Kuerdai River, barefoot into the cool stream🌊, hike upstream into the original spruce forest, like entering the Land of Oz; ✅ Starry sky and fairy tale wooden house: Lie down in a traditional Kazakh wooden house and count the Milky Way through the skylight🌌. 📌 Tips: ▸ Transportation: 2.5 hours self-driving from Tekes (80km paved road), fill up the tank before entering the village!⛽️ ▸ Horse riding on the Wusun Ancient Road section (80 yuan/hour), beginners can try a 2-hour light exploration. #Qiongkushitai #XinjiangTravel #XinjiangIsAGreatPlace #HiddenTravelSpot #HealingScenery #InternetFamousSwing #DiscoverTreasureHomestay #WildLuxury #WusunAncientRoad
