Migratory Hostel

My friend initially recommended another guesthouse, but I asked Doubao which one was better considering the attractions I wanted to visit and transportation. Doubao suggested Hou Niao (Migratory Bird) 😁. And indeed, it's very close to the train station and airport, as well as Karez and Jiaohe Ancient City. The guesthouse owner has great ideas and even speaks a few foreign languages. There's a dedicated laundry area with three washing sinks, which I really liked – other hostels don't have this. I'll definitely choose this place again next year. It feels as comfortable and relaxed as staying at home.

This was my first time staying in a youth hostel, and it perfectly matched my stereotypical idea of one. Everyone here went out together, chatted, and sang – the atmosphere was fantastic, I really, really recommend it! Not far from the hostel, there's a bazaar with incredibly cheap goods, I was constantly amazed! The owner is also really nice, and she has extensive travel experience, so talking to her was very interesting.

The courtyard has a very Xinjiang vibe, and the owner is super laid-back. The room is quite spacious, and the bathroom is inside, which is great. Hot water for showers is instant – no waiting! They even provide body wash and shampoo, which is convenient. The washing machine and kitchen aren't available for guest use. There's no bus stop nearby, so you'll need to take a taxi everywhere, which can make transportation a bit more expensive.

The owner is incredibly nice! Absolutely fantastic, just so, so, so good!

The place is really unique and charming, and the owner and staff are incredibly welcoming. Lying in the courtyard is so relaxing. There's a sand therapy spot not too far away, perfect for a visit in the evening. Highly recommended!

The room was spotless and was cleaned daily during my three-day stay. The owner has an amazing personality and patiently answered all my questions about local travel tips, which I really appreciated 🙏. The hostel has a fantastic vibe; everyone was making plans to explore together, watching movies, singing, playing games, and those who were good at cooking even prepared meals – just remember to clean up afterwards! I had a truly wonderful and comfortable stay, it was definitely a highlight of my Xinjiang trip.

Absolutely wonderful! The owner is incredibly kind, just like a friend. Migratory Bird Inn feels like home, a true haven for wanderers. You can fly when you want to, and land here when you need to rest. It makes you never want to leave. Here, you meet so many like-minded friends, and also great big brothers who are so welcoming. I will definitely be coming back here, countless times.

The owner is really interesting, and so are the guests – it's got a great old-school hostel vibe! The atmosphere is fantastic, and you can even catch the market day in the village. I'll definitely be back next year!
